can come in whenever we need her. I know you're
gonna get sick, like we like this room to be
all filled up, old school style like radio back in
the day. And I had a staff, honestly, though we're
growing slowly. I had a staff.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I had like six people back in the day in
two thousands, everyone had one specific job.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
You do this. Yeah, your job is to get clips
from TV overnight and that's yeah, that's all you do.
And here's money.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Very few people get that nowadays.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Now it's Chelsea.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
And also this Chelsea, are you with Janet? What are you?
Are you a jen? What a gen z? You are
gen z?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
I think so the same age is your daughter. I
think so you're twenty three?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Really maybe it will be twenty three.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Okay, So that's the that's the lowest you can be.
There's nothing. There's something else a gen Z.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I always get this messed up born two thousand and two. Okay,
oh yeah, that is they're a gen xer. Is that
a thing?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
There is one under us. I know that. Yeah, yeah,
there's gen X. Yeah, but that's that's older, right, Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
People born in two thousand and two are gen Z.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Okay, all right, So here's the thing on gen Z.
A recruiter is going viral for her observation of how
gen Zers answer the phone. So I'll ask you, Emma,
if you're getting a phone call from somebody you don't know,
how do you answer?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
I don't right, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
I'm the worst phone anxiety there is same.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
But but here's the deal. I don't mean they don't answer.
I mean gen z ors answer the phone and just
sit there waiting for you to.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
Talk about Oh no, who's who is doing that? No,
you're gonna let the phone go to voicemail. And if
they leave a voicemail because it's important and I know exactly,
that's weird. They just pick up the phone.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
But I do that if it's a number, Like if
I get a number and I'm like, okay, well, is
it a spam number? Because it's a three one three number?
And is it maybe somebody whose number I didn't say?
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Hers to have random people calling you me? Who's gonna
want to call me from a random number?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
That I don't know things look at her very good.
I remember when Chelse used to be like that.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
She's a member of.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
It's so nice to have stamp anyway. So uh, but
if it's a number like that, I'll just answer because
if it's a solicitor, you hear a clicking all that,
and I'll go yeah, And then sometimes I go, well,
any wait for them to say something. They still say
now And then there are times I've said hello blatantly
and nothing happens.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
When you answer your phone. Can you start saying Gopher Jay?
That could be fun? Please do that? Go for Jay.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I've also answered in the higher voice, going hello, Uh,
let's see here. What else is going on? In headlines?
There's a new gadget called a dream recorder that listens
to you describe your dreams and then turns them into videos.
You have to build it, though the shopping list and
instructions are online. It costs three hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Yeah, we don't need that.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
It takes like a very vivid dream for me to remember.
I don't like me too like remember all of my dreams.
It's like once every few months, I'll just randomly remember one.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Well, you only your brain can only handle the last
thirty seconds of your dream. Like, if you can remember
your dream, it's because you just woke up.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I can think of three dreams that were vivided long
and I remembered in their.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Entirety in your life.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
You mean, yeah, that stand out all awkward.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
I want to know more now.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Well, Bob Saggot was in one, Eddie van Halen was
in another. Okay, random and random. I fell asleep watching
America's funniest Own video.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
That's probably why.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
That's what caused the Bob Saggat dream and that thing
went that dream went way wrong. And then dating him
in the dream, yeah, some some sort of dating him, Chelsea. Yeah,
I was very shook up when I woke up. I went,
I just don't think of Bob Saggat like that. And
my friend worked at a radio station in LA and
all the celebrities came through and I was doing overnights
(04:10):
at this time. Yeah, and she had Bob Saggat call
me on the hotline and he was like, so tell
me about your dream, and I'm like, wow, I didn't
think this could get creepy.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Yeah, Like I have to go now, mister sag who
has that story.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
That's a great story.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Yeah, it wasn't bad.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Yeah, my dream I told I think I told you guys.
I have since I was a teenager, have had dreams
and they only happened a couple times a year where
it's always the same houses in the dream. It kind
of looks like the Roseanne House kind of okay, but
it has a dirt entrance and a dirt basement and
it's always pops up in dreams. And I've never been
there before and don't know what it is and I
(04:45):
only see it in dreams. That sounds like the start
of a horror film.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
No, I ca Yeah, what about that?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I might have to pitch that in a treatment.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
I don't want to get your hopes up.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
But there was a young maybe Emma's age, a young
girl who kept having a dream like that about this
house in Ireland.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
And I think this was on Oprah, and she wrote
a book. You can google it.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
She went to Ireland to that house and a bunch
of old people, like in their eighties lived there, and
it turns out she was their reincarnated mom.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Wow. Yeah, I don't want to I don't even want
to know that.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I want to know another lifetime, you might have lived
in that house.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Maybe maybe that's where your plot of land is in Scotland.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
And your teenage self knew that you were going to
be a lord.
