Speaker 1 (00:39):
He's back in the city.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
Yeah, he was in Seattle for the last two days
because he's got like Court's got you know, everyone's got
a lot of jobs now everyone has to wear a
lot of hats. But Court programs this radio station in Portland,
and he also programs CAZy Okay in Seattle, so he's
kind of like stretched between two cities and a lot
going on.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
At least it's not far away.

Speaker 5 (00:58):
Unlike our old boss, who programmed station in Miami, Florida
and also programmed this radio He was.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
Our boss for what five years, and we never actually met.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Him now but oddly enough he lives in Portland now.

Yeah, no, so maybe we'll meet him some days.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
It's crazy our boss that was our boss for like
four or five years up until how.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Long ago he was an early pandemic until what last year?

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Yeah, I think it's only been like a year.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
Well, he lived in Miami the whole time, and we
never saw him because it was just you know, too
far away. But we have zoomed meetings twice a week
and and he you know, apparently doesn't work there anymore.
But then just got a job here in Portland for
our competiting radio station, our not our direct competitor, but
like but the other another company.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah, he went across the street, as they say.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Which you can't blame him because you know, it wasn't
necessarily his decision to be looking for a job.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
Yes, it's gotta be tough, go like man, I gotta
go against those guys.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Yeah, the juggernautter It is hard to step up to.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Way that's a little behind the scenes there. So I
don't know where Court is.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
But in a business like this, people that you do
care about it, it's just nice to see they have
a job.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
Yeah, like I like that guy in me too.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Friend.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
Yeah, we're going to go out to lunch soon, buy
us drinks?

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Better buy us got a job? Yeah, you're employed now
he owns drinks?

Speaker 4 (02:20):
For help me?

Speaker 2 (02:20):
You know how much we make? You need to buy
us a drink.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
Yeah, we should call our old boss, the boss of
our another competiting radio station, and demand he take us
out to drinks. That's right. Our company is going to
be like, excuse me, why are you guys doing that?

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Because he owes his drinks for years.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
We're just we're just talking.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
You should come buy you all.

Speaker 4 (02:38):
Are you guys going on a vacation and happen to
be staying in a hotel anytime soon?

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yes, I am like you. As a matter of fact,
Where are you going? I'm going to.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Chicago, going to London?

Speaker 4 (02:50):
For when are you going to Chicago?

Speaker 5 (02:51):
I'm going to Chicago Labor Day weekend. That's also that's
what I'm going to see my chemical romance.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
Oh that's right, that's right. And then you're going to
England and you're just going I think next month.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Same, we'll be gone at the same time.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
She'll be gone at the end of that trip, but
which you should go on a nice little thing.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
I'll do some.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
But yeah, I'm going to London, which is the time
I'll be in a hotel. When I'm in Ireland. It's
a house, but definitely a hotel first.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
Well, some housekeepers have revealed the filthiest parts of a
hotel room. Oh and we've talked about this before. And
you know, some of the obvious things are like throw pillows.
I don't even want to touch those. The remote I
hear is pretty gross, even though I have been in
places where they put a stamp on it saying it
was cleaned specifically.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
That's nice.

Speaker 5 (03:33):
I feel like any like other furniture aside from the bed,
Like if it's a chair or like a love seat,
I try to avoid it.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
Yah, because chances are someone sat on that bare ass.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
Yeah, and I don't know how well those get cleaned. Yeah,
like the upholstery.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Right, yeah, I'm guessing any couch activity. When it comes
to like nakedness, I try and stick to the sheeted
areas where I know that they had to come by
and give me a new way.

Speaker 5 (03:57):
Absolutely not putting my ass out on a cock chair
though you know.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
I'm not adding to the street.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
No, but this housekeeper revealed a bunch of stuff. And
you know, just keep in mind, I guess if you
go according to Inza, I can't say her last name,
but she's ahead of housekeeping at this fancy, fancy hotel
high end, okay, and she I guess they typically clean
rooms in about thirty minutes. It's about the standard time

(04:26):
to clean a room, okay. And I don't know how
much you can really get spotless than thirty minutes.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
And don't you think that that's a little bit of
a stretch, like you've seen them in the hall.

Speaker 4 (04:34):
Thirty per it's probably fifty to twenty.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Yeah, I mean maybe twenty for being kind like.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
And I'm thinking of the way that I leave my
hotel rooms, which is I don't tend to trash my
hotel rooms. So I'm thinking sheets, change whatever trash there is, towels,
and wipe down all the surfaces.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Like coffee curing things.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
This is how long does that take? Probably not very long?

Speaker 4 (05:02):
Well, she says, high touch surfaces like remotes and light
switches may harbor germs, and of course decorative pillows. Yeah,
also the bathtubs may get overlooked. In the standard cleaning.
I like, I won't take a if it's like a
jacuzzi and it's one of those type of rooms and
maybe we'll get in it.

Speaker 5 (05:19):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
I'm not getting in a bathtub.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
No, I'm standing up in that thing for sure.

Speaker 5 (05:23):
And I also don't mind, like it's happened to me before,
where you get into the shower and there's like a
stray long hair or something, which doesn't necessarily bother me.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
It's like hair is hard to clean it up.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
It's better in the shower than when it's floating in
your bath and it doesn't match your hair color.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Then Yeah, totally.

Speaker 4 (05:40):
I stayed in the hotel once and there was hair
in all over the shower and all over the toilet seat,
and it just kind of grossed me up.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah, that's like obviously has not Bengal.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
I called the front desk and they gave me a
new room. They were very polite.

Speaker 6 (05:51):
Dude, I remember that happened when I was a kid.
My mom's was always big on walking in and checking
the bathroom to make sure that it was clean, because
it is kind of the first thing inside your your
hotel room.

Speaker 7 (06:02):
Yeah, and I'm not kidding you.

Speaker 6 (06:04):
There was like somebody had clipped or trimmed hair in there,
and there were toenails.

Speaker 7 (06:09):
Oh my god.

Speaker 6 (06:12):
Yeah, I remember it being like they just wanted to
come in and clean the room real quick. And it
was a situation where I, like, I had never seen
my parents be like cross with customer service or anything
like that before, and this was one of those things
where they put their foot down and We're like, you're
giving us another room.

Speaker 7 (06:28):
We are not staying in this room.

Speaker 6 (06:30):
And it was like a little bit of a fight, dude,
But I couldn't even believe it, Like it still to
this day is one of the most shocking things I've
ever seen in a hotel room and crazy shit.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
Totally.

Speaker 5 (06:40):
I don't understand why that would be an argument. It's like, dude,
are you sold out? Are is every other room filled
like me?

Speaker 1 (06:48):
And that's what's funny is it's not sold out because
there's there is a wiggle room there. And when Amy
was pregnant with Millie, we couldn't do anything right and
it was this same weekend, so it was her birthday
and our anniversary, so we I just went and got
us a hotel for the weekend and bend and I
took a crap shoot on a place that it wasn't
a chain, it was just one of the better deals.

(07:09):
It was a mistake. I got there. It was filthy.
The room was disgusting to the point where I'm like,
did you come into clean or did you come in
and trash it?

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (07:18):
And we went to the front desk and I'm I'm
always very cordial about this because I figured we're going
to get it figured out. And the guy's just like,
oh man, sorry, we'll get somebody up there in a
little bit to clean the room up. And I was like,
I'm like, we can't be staying in the room. She's
nine months pregnant or right eight months pregnant. And he's like,
I just don't know what I can do for you.

(07:38):
I'm like, I know for a fact you have a
room for an emergency. Here we are in emergency mode
near bedtime with a pregnant chick.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
Can we do this?

Speaker 1 (07:46):
And he just was like, hold on, let me make
a call. Yeah, came right back up with a key.
It's like, so don't goell me. You don't have it there,
it's right there. Ye go tell Ronda that we're doing
to do this.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
Man. The lesson here is don't take no for an answer.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah exactly. I mean, and you don't want to have
to go, but I was gonna.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yeah, it doesn't.

Speaker 5 (08:02):
It's so simple just to check somebody into another room.

Speaker 6 (08:06):
I think we got to consider the source here on
this article, though, because Tanner, I thought you mentioned that
this was somebody from a high end hotel. I would
like to talk to somebody that works at Motel six
told me what the worst ones are, because like, I
don't know, I think that everybody is just like there's
no you know, poor people don't trash hotels worse than
rich people.

Speaker 7 (08:26):
I think the Diddy trial prove that to us.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Well that's true, you know.

Speaker 6 (08:31):
I I just think that maybe when people pay less
for things, they don't take care of them as much.
So i'd really like to hear from like the dejected
Motel six made the budget.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
She's probably seen some things.

Speaker 7 (08:44):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
It's like there's usually one used condom in the desk,
like that type of st.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
I found a foot once, yeah, not a shoot, no
whole foot, and no one.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
Ever came back for it. It was the craziest thing
I know.

Speaker 5 (08:55):
I know, I remember, and I guess when I stay
in like a more budget hotel, I always expect it
to be a little crusty on the inside. But there's
this one hotel when I was moving here. Actually it
was the same town that was fifty cent beer night,
remember that it was that same stop, and it was
like middle of nowhere, Wyoming.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
And I was so impressed.

Speaker 5 (09:15):
By the quality of this quality in And it's just
like has like stayed with me because I'm like, well,
school is so nice and it wasn't expensive, and I
was just like, I was impressed.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
Well, that budget hotel is probably the nicest hotel in
that area. Yeah, I didn't notice that too official. When
I moved to Detroit and back, I noticed that some
of the nicest hotels were just like in the middle
of nowhere, Yeah, because they're just that's all they have
to do, just clean that little hotel and watch TV
and that.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Yeah, that place can maintain itself.

Speaker 5 (09:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
I remember when I was a kid, I went to
go to Texas because my grandmother had passed away. So
I was there for the funeral and I went and
stayed in the hotel because the house was too full,
and I stayed in the Motel six. It was kind
of in a sketchy part of day.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
They leave the light on for you, though they left left.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
The crack, but they left the light. I remember as
soon as I haven't even gotten into my room yet,
and it was kind of in a sketchy part of Dallas,
and I was walking to my room and there's two
guys up on the balcony above me, and they were
just leaning over it, looking down and they go, hey, man,
are you Dug.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Oh my god, I am absolutely not Dug.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
And they're like, because I think it was like a
drug dealers or something, He's like, oh, you're not Doug.
And he wasn't convinced that I thought I was lying
to him. Yeah, and I'm not Doug. Dude, I don't
know who. I'm just going to my room.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
I'm two a fully promise I'm not Doug.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
And then when I got into my room, it reeked
of cigarette smoke and it wasn't the smoking room, of course, dude.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
That was that Sometimes in a pinch, she just got
to lean in and be like, this is crack.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
But I got to sleep. Yeah. But I remember as
a kid, my mom like we'd live in Dallas and
she'd go to take me to San Antonio and we'd
stay in a hotel six and back in the eighties,
I feel like that that's different.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Yeah, because even the one that's on the edge of town,
like a couple exits down here in a pretty nice neighborhood.
You get inside and he goes rule off a little bit.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
It is.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
It is about three giant steps from a star's cabaret.
You can see what happens in there.

Speaker 7 (11:07):
I'll never forget.

Speaker 6 (11:08):
I was in Bend on one of the main drags
there when I was working for the cannabis company. So
I had probably twenty grand in product and another thirty
grand in cash in my truck, not in a safe,
just locked in a cooler. And the hotel that they
found me was, yeah, it was a six and it
was at I shouldn't say hotel, it was a motel.

(11:29):
It opened out and I was on the ground floor
right in the front, and I parked my truck, you know,
right in front, so I could look out the window
make sure stuff was good. These guys show up to
stay in the room next to me at about eleven
thirty at night, instantly go in, turn on all the
lights turn on loud rap music wide open in the window,
and then they take a big red bandana and hang

(11:51):
it over the top of the lamp that's sitting in
the window. Dude, all night until like four or five
in the morning, there was people knocking on that door,
come in and out. And by the time I woke
up the next morning finally to go back to Eugene,
they were gone. And I was like, dude, I just
I sat here with fifty grand worth of cash and

(12:11):
product next to what I'm pretty sure was a trap
house for the night, and I just like so terrified, dude.

Speaker 7 (12:19):
I was so lucky.

Speaker 6 (12:20):
Like if they had just even looked at me cross
because I was looking out the window.

Speaker 4 (12:25):
He looks at you like an azy mock.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
You all smell money.

Speaker 6 (12:30):
Or weed, because there was a lot of it, and
it did smell like if I got in the truck,
if I opened the truck, you could smell it. And
that's yeah, dude, it was. I just don't like ones
that open out to the outside anymore. I've kind of
come past that point in my life. I would like
to walk down a hall, but I've also you know,
I did a comedy show in Medford a couple of
years back. It was kind of at the end of

(12:51):
COVID and there were some wildfires down there and a
lot of people were displaced, a lot of homeless people
were displaced.

Speaker 7 (12:57):
And dude, it's one of the worst experiences ever.

Speaker 6 (13:00):
Like I walked in and there was two hippies playing
guitar in the hallway, and it's like, you just.

Speaker 4 (13:05):
Can't that sounds nice, is like shut your silly hippie
music up, entertainment a place of sleep and you're complaining
about oh.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Yeah, people as a fire, it's an emergency.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
That was Yeah, these hotels, you know, just keep it,
keep that in mind that you know, it might be
good to just bring some wet wipes with you. It's
like some cleaning wipes to disinfect the light switch, the remote.
I always if I can't disinfect it, I will just
wrap toilet paper around it, Yeah, so I can press
the button still.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah. Whatever, whatever you know helps get out of there
without some sort of disease or rash.

Speaker 5 (13:39):
And also the one thing that I've learned is to
always check the comforter, which I think I've told this
story in here, but the most disgusting thing that's ever
happened to me in a hotel, is it is? It
sucks because I was actually staying there for a work event.
I was doing like a live broadcast from a casino
and it was kind of in a mountain town. So
they're like, we'll just put you up for the night
so you don't have to drive back after the event.

(14:02):
And so we stayed up in a room in the
casino hotel and it was like the bedspreads were like
the old quilt like fabric, like the big duvet like
fluffy ones. And when I woke up in the morning,
I looked down and there was a giant spot of

(14:22):
dried blood the comforter that had been like resting on
my face all night. And had I somehow had not
seen it.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
Yeah, well they didn't see it either, clearly.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Yeah, And I was like, oh my god.

Speaker 5 (14:36):
So now that's one of the first things I do
is I always just like check and double check the
comforter because it was.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Just like, oh my god, that top went off that there.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
I used to not think about any of this shit
in the hotel room, but the older I get, I'm like, oh,
I don't know about that. I don't know about that.
I don't know about that, you know, So just be
careful when you go. You don't want to catch the
climity off some off the toilet. So I saw there's
a bunch of stuff we can get to on the show,
A live show. We're gonna do another dumb mass of
the day about this Florida man who was arrested for

(15:04):
stealing sex toys and ice cream at Walmart.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
Okay, first of.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
All, I didn't realize wally World had a full blown
sex toys sex either.

Speaker 4 (15:13):
I think it's summary like Target now has you know sextice,
it's a small selection.

Speaker 5 (15:18):
Yeah, and I have, I have seen it. Yeah, but
Walmart I was unaware.

Speaker 4 (15:22):
Because they're like they don't even let they don't even
sell CDs with cursing in it, like every CD. Like
if you buy an album that you love that's got
cursing on it and Walmart has it, it is an
edited version.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
Yeah. I used to always get my CDs from there
when I was a kid.

Speaker 4 (15:36):
I got I bought limb biscuits significant other from Walmart,
not knowing that, and I was, so, what's.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Even the point.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Yeah, you can't get nw A, but you can get
a double ender. I always thought that was weird.

Speaker 4 (15:46):
You can't buy yeah, you can't buy an n W
A record unedited, but you can buy the worst horror
movie on the planet that's got gore and guts and
everywhere everybody's dead. Yeah, but no word, no fucking sense
to me. But anyway, this this is His name is
Jeffrey la Forge. He's foty years old and was rested
in Florida for stealing adult toys from a Walmart in
South Pasadena. Laforage is facing felony charges for two separate

(16:09):
theft incidents with a total of about twitter eighty dollars
worth of stolen goods.

Speaker 5 (16:14):
I don't know, honestly, sounds like he was about ready
to have a great night ice cream and sex.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Foreh oh my god, he's about to whine and dine
some head.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
He stole some toys, including items like a tush toy
is what it was called? A tush toy? And an
oral stroker or strokers at Walmart?

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Is it like?

Speaker 1 (16:32):
And I did not think there was a tush toy
at Walmart because I was thinking that It's like, you know,
you go to a Safeway and if you walk by
the little lubes and condom section they'll have like some
this thing vibrates or something, but like it's so subtle.

Speaker 4 (16:47):
That you almost think it's for your foot.

Speaker 5 (16:49):
Yeah, but play at Walmart p seems crazy.

Speaker 6 (16:54):
I feel so bad for this guy getting his night ruined. Man,
he was all in for some mint chocolate chip and
just the tip.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
Actually, he actually was accused of stealing some Reese's peanut
butter ice cream.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Oh man, and all this stuff.

Speaker 4 (17:07):
It was valued less than a thousand dollars, but the
charges elevated to felonies because of his criminal history of thefts.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Oh so you do.

Speaker 5 (17:15):
And I was gonna say, also, do you have to
because I would imagine those sex toys are behind.

Speaker 4 (17:20):
I thought they were in glass. Yeah, so would you.

Speaker 5 (17:22):
Have to ask someone to get it out for you?
And then you have the audacity to then walk out
with it?

Speaker 4 (17:26):
I think they they take it out, but they they
walk it to the front because like I've done that
the video games of.

Speaker 6 (17:31):
Their head too, and they tie balloons to it so
everybody can see it.

Speaker 7 (17:34):
It's the most embarrassed.

Speaker 4 (17:36):
They go dog walking here like I did that with
a game and they got held it up. Like this
guy's buying fucking Star Wars Legoland.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
Dong for Dawn, we did a price check on a
rubber dog who had the fist. Yeah, the mister fisters
should not be next to the barbecue tongue. So I'm
not sure I let.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
It all out. I feel like maybe I'm using this wrong.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 6 (17:58):
Well it was just barbecue tongs that he bought, but
he confessed that he was intending to use it as
a sex toy.

Speaker 4 (18:05):
That's not spread my ass right open.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Not Oh my god, So.

Speaker 4 (18:11):
He's anyway in trouble. I feel bad that it's some
felony charges for under one thousand dollars, but if.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
He's got a history, yeah, he sounds like a little
bit of a klepto.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
So in those tongues, that's basically the jaws of life
for your butthole.

Speaker 4 (18:23):
I think we should just falls a new segment on
the show. Yeah, And you know, there's been so much
talk about artificial intelligence in the news, and you know
that the rapid pace that it's growing, I think we
should just do a segment. No, like, how is how
is a I gonna kill us?

Speaker 1 (18:42):
Or you know, we'll figure out we're all gonna die
a we're all gonna die.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
We're all gonna die.

Speaker 5 (18:47):
AI.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
I like that.

Speaker 4 (18:48):
But yeah, well, I mean we can, uh, we can
work some titles together. But yeah, yeah, uh, there's a
lot of crazy stuff like this survey finds that one
in five Americans secretly use AI at work. This is
a survey that was done about a thousand are business owners,
business owners, marketers, and salespeople revealed that one in five
individuals are secretly using AI tools at work, even in

(19:10):
the absence of an official policy.

Speaker 5 (19:13):
But I mean, the frustrating thing is that AI can
be super beneficial and helpful for productivity and probably accuracy.

Speaker 4 (19:23):
I use it for the first time at work on Sunday.
I had to come in here for a few minutes.
And I know, I you know. A lot of the
times like Laura does, we got to record stuff for
other cities, and this particular thing I was recording, I
needed to sound like I was like I knew what
I was talking about, eve though I'd never been to
the city, like.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
You're a local, yeah, And so I needed to go, like.

Speaker 4 (19:40):
How do you reference this in this? What do I
say to make it sound like I live in that area?
And chat GBT told me, and he goes, if you
say this, you're going to sound like an outsider. But
if you say this, you're gonna sound like you live there.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah. See that comes in handy, and I wouldn't consider
that like cheating.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
No, I just sing one in five is not going
to last for long, and it's going to be four
out of five.

Speaker 4 (20:00):
I was watching a TikTok just last night of I
think she was an eighth grade teacher, and she says
one hundred percent of her kids, one hundred percent of
her kids are using AI. She says almost every paper
that's turned in is done with AI.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
And she can tell of course, like all of a sudden,
this kid's writing a brilliant.

Speaker 4 (20:15):
Papers, profound detailed paper.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
You're in third grade.

Speaker 5 (20:18):
But then my question for that is how do you
because remember with papers and stuff, we always had to
our side, our sources, but no bibliography, Like how do
you what do you write on the bibliography?

Speaker 4 (20:31):
Source?

Speaker 2 (20:32):
Chat chept to.

Speaker 7 (20:33):
Write the bibliography?

Speaker 4 (20:34):
Okay, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (20:36):
It makes it so much easier, and like I don't
so I actually use it quite a bit. I probably
use it once a week, and I don't use it
for anything content wise, because it's horrible at coming up
with content for like a show like this. But one
thing it does great is I'm I'm wordy, right, you
guys know that about me and talk a lot, never
shut up, way too many words.

Speaker 7 (20:55):
So when I'm writing, we were going to say.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
Something but didn't want to, but chat CHEAPT take care
of it a right.

Speaker 6 (21:00):
You know, when I'm writing documents for like a client
or something, I look at it and I'm like, dude,
this is four pages, Like they're not going to read this.
I take it to chat GPT, tell it to summarize,
tell it to clarify, tell it to be accurate, and
tell it to check for grammar. And I have a
one pager that I can send a client in three
minutes and it's so that is so streamlined for me
because it takes me so long to edit myself. I

(21:22):
wouldn't have wrote that shit down if I didn't think
it was pertinent. Right, So that's one thing that chat
GPT's really good for for me anyway, is clearing the
cobwebs a bit and just you know, pairing things down.

Speaker 4 (21:34):
And what's crazy is that I was reading an article
about how different generations use chat GPT differently. I use
it almost like like Google, you know, like I just
ask it a question. Sure, And again it's more accurate,
I think than Google from what I understand. But m hm,
I kind of use you just like a Google. But there.
I just read this story this morning that there is
a giant group of young people gen z ers who

(21:57):
are now there lonely and they don't have any friends,
and they're now you chat GPT as a friend.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
I'm not surprised by that at all, which is a
real bummer.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
But it does suck. Yeah, And you know, I don't
want to knock people for being lonely. You know, you
try and have something to do, but you know, it's
not a great answer.

Speaker 4 (22:14):
You'd like to not be lonely. You got to like
go out, you've got to work, You've got to force
yourself to do things.

Speaker 5 (22:18):
And that's like growth, but it's also tough when your
peers are also are not doing that. And like you've
all of your friendships have been generated entirely online, whether
you're chatting with chat GPT or you've met a friend
via Instagram or video gaming or whatever. And I guess

(22:39):
it's better than having no friends.

Speaker 4 (22:41):
At all.

Speaker 5 (22:41):
But it's like when you have an entire generation that
doesn't go outside. Yeah, like how do you meet people?

Speaker 4 (22:46):
Well, and if you've seen the movie Her right, Joaquin
Phoenix was weird as fucking that movie.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
It has gotten so bad with the social interaction with
some kids. I mean, some are lucky enough to be
around other kids and the whole deal. But we have
a family member on the other side of the family
who has an online boyfriend who she has never met
in person, just talked on the phone, just video chat
things like that, and so you know, I went to
her parents and was like, well, are you concerned about that, Like,

(23:12):
we don't know who this person is. And they said
that she feels more comfortable with this because it's free
from the stresses of social engagement at school. And my
response is that is dangerous. You're putting your kid in
a position where it's okay not to communicate with others
in a world where that's all we really have at

(23:32):
the end of the day.

Speaker 4 (23:33):
And that's why you're keeping panics when they answer the phone.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Yeah, And so what you need to do is say
it's going to suck today or it's going to suck tomorrow.
But the same thing with your guys's workouts. It sucks today,
so it does not suck.

Speaker 5 (23:47):
Yeah, eventually you're going to even maybe come to enjoy
those social interactions.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
And it's also it's kind of just a part of
like your high school experience. You go in, you're nervous,
you're awkward, you're trying to figure yourself out, and that's
what makes you a person, right and honestly life experiences.

Speaker 5 (24:03):
And I feel like, as much as I hate, I mean,
and this doesn't apply to us because we've never really
worked from home truly, but this is one of the
things that when when employers, and I know usually it's
come coming from like a corporate greed type of standpoint,
but getting back to the office, interacting with people, having

(24:24):
those one on one conversations. I know it's easier to
work from home. I know you want to wear your
pajamas all day, but let's get back to actually having
face to face conversation.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
And these people who are like I got a friend
who's like, I'm not going to take the job if
I can't work from home. Yeah, which is like you're lazy.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Now, Yeah, you've gotten accustomed to this. Your brain is
a muscle and it has to be worked.

Speaker 4 (24:44):
You can't be in pajamas all day.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yeah, it's bad for your mental health too, just to
be And now, granted Marcus works from home, but he
does have he realizes that it's a cabin.

Speaker 4 (24:54):
He I bet you at least two to three days
he puts on real pants.

Speaker 6 (24:58):
How often you p I mean, I don't go out
of the house. I'm not a sweatpants guy in public.
We've gone over that before, so it really helps me out.
But dude, I'll be rocking Jim Schwartz or sweatpants for
most of the day today because I've got nothing to
do other than sit in this chair, but also wearing genes.
If no, go, but don't go out of the house.
Later I get dressed.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (25:16):
And if he was told, hey, you have to go
to a work conference or you have to go into
the office or whatever, he'd be able to do it
because he has experienced doing that. I think that the
people who have never had that type of experience and
are insisting on working from home, it's just not a.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
Good These kids are in for a rude awakening when
the real world comes knocking and it's like, well, what
can You Do?

Speaker 4 (25:39):
And other AI news. Another AI news AI pre apparently
he is presenting challenges for gen Z job seekers. Recent
college graduates are facing a new obstacle in their job search.
It's artificial intelligence. Job postings for entry level white collar
positions have decreased by fifteen percent, leading to a thirty
percent increase in competition per job sure. As reported by

(26:02):
CBS News, the number of individuals obtaining bachelor's degrees has
risen to nearly two million in the twenty twenty two
to twenty twenty three academic year.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
I feel like it's more and more.

Speaker 5 (26:16):
Important to start getting into trades, you know, stuff that
AI maybe will take your job eventually, but it's not
going to be as quickly as somebody who's working in
tech or Yeah.

Speaker 4 (26:26):
There's this man who's considered they call him the godfather
of AI because he is one of the OG guys
who started it. And he left chat GBT because he
wasn't happy with the safety concerns apparently there are none there.
And he said, he goes, what do you recommend people
do in this aiag? He goes, learn how to become
a plumber. That's what he said.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
Electrician all that stuff. Those are going to have to happen. Still, Ye,
I don't know how to do any of that.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Because I mean that's scary.

Speaker 5 (26:51):
I mean it's great that kids are going to college
and getting an education or whatever, but what do you
do when the robots are taking all of your jobs
after you?

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Well, they're the ones who will be okay. It's it's
this middle group who we're gonna because if they are
smart enough to go to the trades, when they get
done with high school or whatever, they'll be okay. But
what about that large chunk of us who have already
We're thirty five, we're forty, we're forty five. We can't
go back and start over now, so we're like, I

(27:21):
feel like that the firing line is the thirty to
fifty year olds who still have to work for a
ton more time for sure. So it scares me because
we're all there.

Speaker 4 (27:30):
Yeah, yeah, having's fucked.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
Well.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Wow, this was a bleak podcast, also cooked.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
But it's still happiness is still here. The milk has
not totally spilled yet.

Speaker 5 (27:42):
And I mean, look outside, it's beautiful. I mean it's hot,
it's hot, but I mean go outside, float the river.

Speaker 4 (27:49):
It's gonna be hot today.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
Oh my god, it is.

Speaker 5 (27:51):
Probably if this morning was not an indicator. I walked
out to you know, put out water for my crows
and some peanuts. It was like I had any been.
The temperature had not even changed. There was no chill
in the air whatsoever. It was so warm, and it
was like five a.

Speaker 4 (28:07):
Yeah, my phone said it's gonna be ninety seven.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
So they cancel. They've canceled both soccer practices, even the
ones on grass fields, which normally doesn't happen. And I
just got an alert from the city I live in
that the be closing public pools at three o'clock to
heat advisory. I mean, even the place you go to
get cool is closings hot. It's gonna be thick.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Yeah, I love it, think thirty.

Speaker 5 (28:30):
Honestly has anybody else this morning? I also woke up
and I realized that it wasn't getting as light like.
I looked down my hall and I noticed that it
was already a little bit darker and.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
The summer ending already. Like no, yeah, it's gonna be
dark and rainy in no time.

Speaker 4 (28:45):
And I don't want to don't want to get stark.
At four, I just go oh fuck it, just I
get so like a mope.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
It just bums me out.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Yea, yeah, yesterday or today. Actually right here is halfway
through July, so we're halfway.

Speaker 4 (28:58):
I can't believe how quickly this year's flying by. I
know it's just gonna get like that every single year.
Just start to warp the damn man. Marcus said, do
you fill in your lower back?

Speaker 7 (29:07):
Yeah? Yeah, dude, I really do.

Speaker 6 (29:09):
And I hate the way that time is speeding up
as I get older, and I know why it happens.
It's like it makes sense to me. But I think
about that way more now that I hit forty, and
I'm thinking, like, dude, I remember summers used to last forever,
and I feel like now I can barely get one
camping trip in before its fall and football seasons here

(29:31):
and we're back.

Speaker 7 (29:31):
In the rain again. Like I hate it.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
It was.

Speaker 6 (29:34):
I just want I want one three hundred and sixty
five day summer.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
What Like, I just even looking at time hop pictures
from like when I first moved up here. Yesterday was
ten years to the day that that I got fired
from my last job, and I look at pictures from
from that time, and dude, what the that's like a
young man. I know, ten years ago, like thirty four
felt I felt like I was old, And now I

(30:00):
look at that and I'm like, dude, that was sweet.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Yeah I can't.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
Yeah, they say that you don't give away every dollar
you have. Eventually, fifteen years when.

Speaker 4 (30:10):
We're sixty, you're going to be like, dude, I wish
I could I was forty four again.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Yeah, and that's what I have to try to remember
me too.

Speaker 5 (30:15):
I've been thinking about that too, where I'm like, whatever
your problems are today, like, don't spend your time longing
for the past, because in five years you're going to
be longing for this day. And so just like take
you know, enjoy every moment that you.

Speaker 4 (30:30):
Said to herself who knew that these were going to
be the good old days?

Speaker 2 (30:32):
Yeah, it's true, there was.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
I almost got emotional. I was on the I was
on my peloton and I was scrolling tiktoks and this
dad comes on there and he goes, you know what
my favorite time was? And he said their first second.
He goes when my car was full, and he had
a whole thing about how when your car was full
and like think about like spilling slurpies, and my kids
are screaming and they're got to pee their pants and
all this stuff, and I get so frustrated, and I'm like,

(30:57):
oh my god, kid, this just passed, and one day
that car is gonna be empty, and I'm just gonna
be bummed. You know, you waste time yelling. I wish
they could yell at me from the back seat. Can
we get us slurpy?

Speaker 2 (31:08):
Pretty soon they're gonna be yelling at you like dat dad, dat,
turn your hearing aid on.

Speaker 4 (31:12):
Get out of that room and turn your hearing aid.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
I'm gonna be like, no, I turned it off on purpose. Guys,
night night, Leave me alone.

Speaker 4 (31:19):
All right. We will see you tomorrow. We'll have another
donk then and we'll have on the live show more
tickets to see one of five nine The Brew Presents,
Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace. We'll also have Casey
in here for another not necessarily the news, cool and
so much happening. We will see tomorrow. Marcus, would you
like to I don't.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
Know, sing us out?

Speaker 4 (31:38):
Sing us out? Go ahead?

Speaker 6 (31:40):
Actually, I need an update on how the how the
weight loss thing is going, because I haven't I haven't
gotten any of this.

Speaker 7 (31:46):
You guys haven't filled me in at all.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
Why don't you check our Instagram? Just just kidding. I
actually do have the numbers right here if you want
to hear.

Speaker 7 (31:53):
Sure.

Speaker 4 (31:53):
Yeah, so if you don't know what's going on, the
last week and a half, Casey and I have been
doing this weight loss challenge. It's a six week challenge
Drubba Bird the blubber Bird. We're trying to see who
can lose the most weight, and we're going to rate
it by body fat percentage. And if I win, I
get to see Casey's disgusting blown out toes because I
guess there's tons of fungus on him. And if I lose,

(32:14):
I have to let a transla crawl across my body.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
Furry little cute little guy.

Speaker 4 (32:18):
You see. I will get sweaty pumps when I think
about it.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
Pinch your nips.

Speaker 4 (32:22):
But yeah, I've been working really hard and we stepped
on the scale this morning, and go ahead.

Speaker 5 (32:27):
Lord of starting in current numbers, Okay, Tanner's starting weight
two hundred and twelve pounds. He is currently after about
a week and a half, Yeah, at two hundred and
four point six pounds.

Speaker 4 (32:40):
But this morning, when I weighed myself naked, I was
two hundred and one pounds.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
Yeah, so the clothes were on Marcus, so you got
to give him a shave of a couple more pounds.

Speaker 5 (32:48):
Yeah, okay, So but it's pretty good, very good, very good.
Actually beef water. His starting weight was one hundred and
eighty five pounds. His current weight is one hundred and
seventy eight point six pounds. So both doing very very well.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
Who lost the most here?

Speaker 1 (33:06):
You you lost pounds and he lost seven if he.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Lost seven, yeah, so we're pretty much right there.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And it's really I mean, when we
get in the dog days of it, that'll be the
that'll be the change.

Speaker 4 (33:20):
I'm like, I'm not you were talking about the dog dad,
you were talking about plateauing at a certain point, and
I'm just not looking forward to because I.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
Don't think I don't think that's going to be happening
anytime right now.

Speaker 4 (33:30):
I think it's going to be discouraging. Because what really
keeps me motivated is seeing that number get a little
lower every day, and I get excited and progress is progress,
and it feels it feels like I'm going somewhere and
I'm not just stale, stagnant, you know, but.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
You are I'll hit a wall at yeah point and
you can see it in your face already. It's like
thinning out, you know what.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
And I put on this, This shirt was two weeks ago,
a little tight.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
Was it stressing before? Yeah, yeah, it's not stressing all.

Speaker 5 (33:56):
It's interesting because I can see it on Tanner more
that I can see it on Beef water.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
But obviously you're.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
Both see that light that shines on Beef. I have
a perfect view of his moves, and so they were
down all they were.

Speaker 4 (34:09):
They were smaller, because I'm glad you noticed that, because
I was looking at him yesterday and go, God, that
guy still rotund.

Speaker 5 (34:15):
And I think the belly fat. I think that's gonna
be the hardest stuff to lose.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
He keeps it up like he did last night, though,
it'll be all right.

Speaker 4 (34:22):
He's one of those chubby guys though that like he's
pretty confident with his belly and like he sticks it out,
so he's like killed.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
Docky got good posture, which is important.

Speaker 4 (34:30):
Yeah, yeah, and I and I, hey, listen, I slopped
a little bit, so big ups to Beef. But he
just sticks out belly out like, hey, Belly's here. We
should just call him the belly.

Speaker 7 (34:38):
The belly.

Speaker 6 (34:39):
Let me give you a little tip if you if
you do hit a plateau, and you always like to
see that number go down, just always, and this is
a wrestler tip. Okay, always way after a dump, like
you get done with practice, they want to see your
You want to see that number as well as possible.

Speaker 7 (34:54):
Go pinch one off real quick. It'll be lower than
it was going to be.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
Yeah, did you poop this morning?

Speaker 7 (34:58):
I did?

Speaker 2 (34:58):
Okay?

Speaker 7 (34:59):
Oh no I did not.

Speaker 4 (35:00):
Okay, I didn't.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
It means there's more to lose.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
Oh okay, Well that's good to know.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
Get that scale after your post showed dump.

Speaker 4 (35:06):
All right, Well we'll check in again next to Wednesday.
We'll do another way and Wednesday next week and we'll
see where we're at. Yeah, Marcus, I love your face
and we'll play some we'll play some VIDs this weekend.

Speaker 6 (35:18):
Yeah, what about last weekend when I texted you and
you just let it go into the breeze.

Speaker 4 (35:21):
Oh, like every time I text you you barely text
me back.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
This is your weekend, guys, it's gonna happen.

Speaker 4 (35:26):
He texted me back, like eighty percent of the time.
Sometimes sometimes he doesn't, and I get hot.

Speaker 5 (35:30):
Look, Marcus Tanner is getting laid now, so he doesn't
have time to be playing video games.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Video games for you all night.

Speaker 4 (35:36):
Yeah, he'd sent me. He sent me a message and
I didn't know. I didn't catch you right away, so
I didn't see it. But uh, it's it's just this
pubg question mark.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
Yeah, you know it was.

Speaker 6 (35:44):
And it was time too. It wasn't too late. It
was like nine forty five, like it was on a
Friday night.

Speaker 7 (35:49):
It was.

Speaker 6 (35:50):
It was a good time. I mean, I look, I
threw one down the middle to you. You didn't swing
at it because you were swinging your dick at something else.

Speaker 7 (35:55):
I get it.

Speaker 4 (35:56):
I was, well, I was actually playing a video game
and I didn't see my phone. I was playing Ago.

Speaker 7 (36:01):
Well now I'm pissed.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
Yeah, you don't cheat on me with other games.

Speaker 4 (36:04):
Well, Marcus has got you know, I want to play
in the PC and his ship's fucked up right now,
and he's got to play in the Xbox and I
don't want to do that. Why not because the graphics
aren't as good.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
God, what a time to put up with Marcus's ship.

Speaker 7 (36:18):
Elitist, you fool.

Speaker 6 (36:21):
Elitist is all he is. He got a taste of
the good life and now he can't go back.

Speaker 7 (36:26):
Whatever.

Speaker 4 (36:27):
All right, we will see tomorrow by.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
You've been listening to Tanner, Drew and Laura's Donkey Show,
heard daily at one oh five nine that brew dot com.
May God have mercy on all of our souls.
