Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Do a couple of Fox to News headlines tell you
about some things going on today. We already heard from
allan Long Street and you know about the weather. But news,
why where all my stuff?

Speaker 2 (00:10):
I got one for you?

Speaker 1 (00:11):
No, I know now, spitefully I will not. I will
find it now.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
I'm gonna do some Fox News updates for you.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Was your highlighting not not working?

Speaker 2 (00:20):
How about well, I've got it you ready?

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Ready? Uh? Snow moved in fast overnight, as we've learned,
snow rained to mix on the way for today, and
over three hundred schools are closed today.

Speaker 4 (00:32):
I honestly, if I get ten wishes, I would use
one of my wishes for they would get so wasted.
But one of them would be for Mother Nature to
be real and for me to know where her house is.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Oh that's all, yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
That would be one of That could be one of
my wishes for ding Dong ditches.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Yeah, she's all out there with Jack Frost just being
a jerk, right and you go. Fundme reports as more
Americans are turning to the site just to cover basics
like housing, groceries, and everyday needs, with those kinds of
fundraisers up twenty percent this year. After four times jump
last year, Campaigns to help pay monthly bills, including rent utilities,

(01:11):
are now the second fastest growing category. Listen, more people
use go fund me as a financial safety net, not
just emergencies.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
I would go farther than even fight.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
No financial safety net would be it like my backup plan,
which I am conflicted about.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
I think we have to be careful with that because
that's not really the intention unless unless you literally have
no other option, I guess. But that's how it started out.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
The first one I remember, the first one I ever
saw was someone's house burned down to the ground.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Well, I mean that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
That's a fund that's a go fundme. Yeah, but saying
like I'm I mean, we've also seen GoFundMe. So so
I can throw my daughter an extraordinary birthday pre.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
No, we just want to make sure we have the
time of our lives.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Well, I would put the door on your phone. I
guess we can't really say no.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
You can really ask anybody you want for money if
you feel comfortable enough. I think we are from the
mindset that we would be horrified to ask for money.
So that's why we don't think that way. But I
guess if you're like, hey, I can get it, I'll
get it.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
And even in some of these instances where it's like
you wonder, well, how much are you doing for yourself
before you got to this stage?

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeah, but you don't always know everything.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Speaking of getting money, are you getting so Facebook that Meta?
I got like like literally fourteen emails yesterday from them,
and it's never happened before, and it's like a dollar
twenty five And then the next email is like, Meda
sent you two dollars and fifty cents, Meda sent you
like nine dollars, Like I mean, in total, it all
added up to like twenty one dollars. I'm going, couldn't

(02:43):
you have combined these things your one company? Like, can't
your accounting department get together?

Speaker 3 (02:47):
That's weird because it's funny that you think they have
an accounting department.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Well they have, they're trillionaires. I doubt that they do.
That's probably all to AI.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Maybe, well, AI needs to do a better job of
sending me so many emails.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
I just get the one a month that says we
have deposited your nineteen dollars and four sons. I'm like,
I am killing it. Yes, I will not need to
set up a goof on me.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
Now, I would like to say that when I do
start my fan page, I'm hoping that every single person
listening is going to follow it so that it's not
so sad.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
I know it's going to be a really long time.
It won't be.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
It's going to be sad for a while. I mean
mine's still kind of sad.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Well.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
People always say, why don't you guys have a Jay
Towers in the Morning Facebook page where you just put
the show, And I'm like, well, I have a Facebook page.
We talked mostly about the show, and I'm like, mostly
because I don't want to start another page, right, it
has to go through a year of growing pains and
look like we have nobody.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
I mean I blew up my fan page twice because
I couldn't stand the shame, right, because it is over
on my main page. I do all right, right, and
I wish I could merge them.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
But I feel like your fan page is doing better
than your regular page.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
You were right, you just have to be consistent, yeah,
you know in market Turkey. I mean, I'm hoping to
piggyback onto your thing there.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
You don't want her to get it in your territory.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
You get like everyone from Greece following her, or I
think there's monin.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
I'm going to get a Turkish Rosetta Stone podcast podcast.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Knowing you you'd get it wrong and you think about
Turks and cacos.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Absolutely, it's like, that's not what I meant.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
One last one here, Uber is testing new Uber kiosks
that let you book a ride without the app handy
if you're traveling, don't have data or your phone is
about to die, you punch in your trip on a
screen and then you get a paper receipt and then
the vehicle comes and gets you.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Like this is good.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
At say like La Guardia Airport, they're doing this at
Terminal c H, where you can go up and again
go to the kiosk, be like need a ride. There
you go and you got your receipt and you go
out and you get the ride. You're not using your phone.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
That's actually not a bad idea to back up.

Speaker 4 (04:52):
That reminds me of us getting our cars on New
Year's Eve at Hollywood Casinos, a greektown. We went to
a kiosk, we're ready to leave, and then our car
is there when.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
We walk out. Yeah, it also reminds me of mine
and yours.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Walk back from the boat house last week in Florida,
and she just kept saying, I don't even have the
Uber app on my phone.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
Like I know you don't, except I said it like this,
even to.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Have the Uber apps on my phone. That is exactly
what it sounded like.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Actually sounds like this.
