Listen back to Afternoons with Reed and Eddie from September 8. The universe is working hard to keep Reed unhappy. His Lions lost, he struck out on the Powerball, and he only walked away with a sad $2 after spending $6. Eddie tells him to try a scratcher with a 10% idea-presenter’s fee, but Reed offers a flat $100 instead. Reed also launches a brand-new conspiracy theory that trees might not be what they seem, and insists he’s just being honest about his emotions while Eddie keeps calling him moody. Karli jumps in for Name That Tune piano edition, and on her birthday no less, Eddie finally takes home the win. Plus, Reed shares his dream of hiring a mariachi band to celebrate the wrong moments, Uber’s “big idea” is taking cash like it’s 1995, and Eddie declares AI is bogus after it gave him the wrong lottery numbers.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ninety five nine kids at them reading Eddie in the afternoon,
and it's almost like the universe doesn't want me to
be happy.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Turn that frown upside down, buddy.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
I'm in mourning today. I'm wearing all black because two
things happen over two things. All right, Kat out of
the bag. The Lions lost, which is great for Green
Bay Packers fans, not great for Lions fans like myself.
So there's that thing. And then on top of that,
I did not win the power ball.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Not a good Monday for you.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
And I convinced myself I was going to win the
power ball.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
That's where you went wrong.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
But I did get one number.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Yeah, that means nothing.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Well, I got the power ball, so I think, ooh,
does that mean like two bucks?

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Two bucks or something? Spend six So there you go.
It's two dollars for your chance to win something else.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
And now the jackpots playing that two bucks jackpots had
twenty million, and who wants that.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Just by an instant? With that two dollars by an instance.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
I don't know how to do I don't know how
to you know how to do it instant? What does
that even mean?

Speaker 2 (00:55):
You buy one of those scratch off tickets.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Oh like a scratch Yeah, oh I know, is that
what an instant ticket?

Speaker 2 (01:00):
That's what I was. That's harder for tons because there's
so many.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Different kinds of lottery. Sure, I never know what I'm doing.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yeah, just get yourself a scratch off. You're good to go.
Two dollars scratcher. What if? What if I win? Like, well,
because i'm giving you thevice to buy, you give me
ten percent, simple enough ten percent. No, I'm telling you
giving you good advice.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
You will get a one time flat fee of one
hundred bucks. That's lame, dude, put it towards your mortgage. Unbelievable, unbelievable.
You're you're a horrible No. I actually saw the other
day there was a dude who won one of those scratchers,
like twenty thousand dollars a week for life for a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
That's awesome, but like I want.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
That whatever, like company was behind that or whatever went bankrupt,
and so he doesn't get it anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
The lottery's got to do it.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
It was maybe like I'm not sure how that works,
but it's not like I don't think a state lottery.
Some of those scratchers. It's more like a like an
insurance thing or like a.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Oh you know how I feel like that's sketchy.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Yeah, so he doesn't get his twenty thousand dollars for
life because the company went under.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
I'm sure the fine print mentions that.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
I'm sure that if you win it, who It's not
like you're gonna complain about it.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
You're gonna you know, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Long story short, the world hates me and I can
never catch a break. The Lions lost, didn't win the Powerball.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
And you're working on a Monday, and it's Monday. I
thought for sure you're gonna call off today because the
Lion's lost. Thought about it. I knew you would. I
need I needed that thought cross You mean to me
at word?

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Nobody has been meaning to everyone. No, I've not win.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
It's a single moment of meanness to you, not a
single one.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
That's actually true. People are afraid to tell you it's
in your head. Joe wasn't said a word to me
all day.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Yeah, because we don't know. You know what kind of
read we're gonna get?

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah, Well you get Monday read, you get Lions lost.
Monday read, you get Lions Lost. Didn't win the lottery Monday. Readyah,
you're way too moody.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
I'm not moody.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
I just.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
You're moody.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
I'm transparent with my emotions. Moody ninety five nine Kiss FM.
It's reading Addie in the afternoon. And as we know,
I'm a sucker for a good conspiracy.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
You are.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
That's just fun. And I mean they're entertaining whether you
believe them or not. But I think I've got one
that I kind of made up myself. I think you've
made one up. Yeah, but I think I'm onto something.
I think we're gonna have to look into this, and,
like all conspiracies, is gonna sound crazy at first, sure,
but I really want you to hear me out. Okay, Okay,

(03:23):
I think trees are a conspiracy. Trees, yeah, how so
because there's just so many of them?

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Okay, Okay.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
I find here's what led me down this path. I
found a stat today and it says it takes twenty
seven thousand trees to make all the toilet paper the
world goes through in one day. Twenty seven thousand trees.
If you expand that out, that's nine point eight million
trees per year for toilet paper. Okay, here's my conspiracy.

(03:57):
How many damn trees do we have to sustain? That
feel like there's not enough.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
I feel like there's a lot of trees.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
There's nine point eight million trees a day or a year.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
I feel like you're missing a part of the stats.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
That's the stat twenty seven thousand trees a day just
for toilet paper. Now that's a large number, right, and
it's not super sustainable because trees take a long time
to grow.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
So who's planting the new ones? And then we're cutting
those ones down? Trees are planted every day, man, I
don't think so.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Absolutely plants trees every day everybody maybe like apple trees,
not like yeah, not like tree trees.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
We need to talk to a tree farmer.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
I'm telling you there is not for this stat to
be true. Means everything is a lie. No, we don't
cut down twenty seven thousand trees a day just for
toilet paper. That's asinin, Eddie. If you believe that you
are a sheep, you have issues. If you believe that
we actually cut down twenty seven thousand trees a day

(04:58):
for toilet paper, you're the one with the well, how
did you.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Find this stat?

Speaker 1 (05:01):
The internet exactly.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
I think there's somebody who's on.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Our show prep sheet, a reputable source. Sometimes most of
the time it is, but it cannot There's not enough
trees for this sustainability. That's just toilet paper. We're not
We're not counting paper towel. We're not counting like actual what.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
If some of the toilet paper you use is recycled.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
But even then, twenty seven thousand trees a day. If
we're cutting down twenty seven thousand trees a day, I
feel like we should be out of trees by now.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
You're crazy.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
It's logistically in the world, right, so I can get
down on this. Trees are bull Crown.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
You're crazy right now?

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Ninety five nine Kiss FM reading Eddie in the afternoon.

happy and uh joyous, and I know I sound like

of the game is, I'm going to play you a
version of a song in piano. It's not normally in piano,

(11:07):
but this time it's going to be in piano, and
you got to tell me which one it is. First

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Sure more, Name that tune piano edition. Next nine Kiss FM,
it is named that tune Piano Edition. Unbelievably, Eddie has
a tune to nothing lead over Harley. I blame it
on the background noise. There's no background the why if
you need that excuse for your birthday, you're allowed that excuse.

(12:55):
Thank you, Happy birthday, Carly. I can't believe that he's
not letting you in for your birthday. What a name

Speaker 1 (21:09):
This might be the best way to do it. So
this dude broke up with his boyfriend and to kind
of lessen the pain of it a little bit. I've
always wanted to do something like this, Eddie. What he
hired a mariachi band to follow his ex boyfriend around
the house as he's packing up their stuff. And it's

(21:31):
all on video and it's amazing And I'll tell you
or about it next. If you're gonna break up with someone,
hire a mariachi band because they live together, to follow
him around the house as they're packing up all their crap.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
That's horrible. It's so funny.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
I have always, always, always wanted to hire a mariachi
band to just follow somebody around for a couple hours. Okay,
you know, like like Coo garage ja, you know, just
playing their music and the whole get up with the
sombrero and what do you is there like a term
to call like that the marriata suit.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yes, you canna tell me. I'm trying to remember it.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Okay, nothing, but the dude broke up with his boyfriend
and hired a mariachi band to follow him around the
house he's packing up all his crap. This is amazing.
It's ninety five to nine Kiss FM, reason Eddie in
the afternoon. So this dude's boyfriend got busted cheating and
they had a shared house together.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Oh in that case, he kind of deserves it.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yeah, right, So they had a house together and the
cheater had to move out. So this dude was having
the time of his life, hiring a mariachi band. I
love this now, sipping champagne, even watching his ex move
all of his crap out of his house after he
got caught cheating. This mariachi dude, he was an older guy,

(22:46):
maybe like seventies. Sure, stayed in character, like not cracking
a smile, not making a joke of it, being super professional,
following this guy around bedroom to bedroom. It's awesome, playing
mariachi music, following him outside to the U haul.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
That's great and it's amazing.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Like if you like, are listening and you want to
break up with somebody, Hi, you're a mariachi band.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
Makes it a little bit easier.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
You want to know what else I've always wanted to do,
for whatever reason, is how you're a singing telegram. You know,
what do they do break up?

Speaker 2 (23:19):
I don't know anything. At the Girl of Graham in Town.
Yeah like that.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
Yeah, I've always wanted to do that, Like I don't know.
It's like but not for like a real like thing
you would celebrate for like something random.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
Yeah, like like it's April thirteenth through whatever the case.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Maybe, Yeah, it's like you successfully you know.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
Congratulations, you brush your teeth? Yeah, like garaja, that's funny.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
That was the same the Singing Telegram, singing stripper Telegram.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
Well, we get to show up for that one. I
think who should we do it to? Like here, we
should appreciate it. I think when Nick comes back from
his injury, we should do something like that. Yeah, yeah,
let's get working on it. Okay.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
I heard a leprechaun once for what, Tim Patrick say,
No for what?

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Just because? Just for fun? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (24:08):
I paid him in concert tickets.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
You're ridiculous. I think he's stripped too.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
He's a stripping little person leprechaun for Saint Patrick's.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
You need to do better things with your money.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
His name is Bernie.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
You need help?

Speaker 1 (24:23):
Ninety five nine kiss have Memoried and Eddie in the Afternoon.
So Uber, the popular ride share app, is trying something
new to sort of reinvent what it means to have
somebody else drive you around. Sure no longer, Eddie. Are
the days where you seamlessly push a button and your
payment is ever so easily wirelesly transferred from your connected

(24:46):
bank account to Uber. Now there's a new way to pay. Okay,
it's changing everything. Like Uber is totally reinventing the wheel
here from how simple just pushing a button and paying
that way. Now Uber is trying something new, pay with cash.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
So we're going back to nineteen eighty four where there's
only cabs out there.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
We're gonna talk about it next. Uber trying to be
all cute and reinventing the wheel. I've got I've got
a problem with this.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Now, I'm nothing against a cashless society. I think or
a cash society. I like cash. I think you know,
cash is king, Cash is king. But I have some
problems with this. We'll talk about it next. Uber reinventing
the wheel to allow you to pay in cash like
it's nineteen ninety five. I'll tell you the story next.
So apparently Uber is gonna let you stop paying with cash.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
So ridiculous, what makes no sense.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
I've got issues with this now. I do not want
a cashless society, because I mean, I know the government does. Yeah,
they want to keep our money keep tabs on us,
and you know, like what if you do something wrong
because China does this, you do something wrong and then
you like lock your funds horrible, so you would have
That's a topic for a whole nother day. But Uber

(25:55):
now is switching it up a little bit, giving you
the option to pay for your with cash. Uber says
they want to make sure the service is available to everyone,
including people who don't have bank accounts or debit cards.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
Odds are, if you don't have a bank account or
a debit card, where are you going?

Speaker 1 (26:13):
You're not going to work.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
You're not going to have an Uber account to get
an Uber I don't know, man, that makes no sense.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
Yeah, but here's here's what I It's weird to me
because Uber still has to get paid, right, So how
are they getting their cut? If you pay with cash,
that person got gotta mail you. They probably gonna puay
in their bank and they get billed by Uber or something.
You know what I'm saying, probably letting.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
You pay Uber their fee on the app and then
pay the driver and count cashless.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
So but I think what would happen is you, as
the driver would get like my twenty and then you
you're gonna owe Uber like ten bucks around like whatever,
so Uber will probably bill you and then you would
have to just go to the bank and deposit that
money and then you pay Uber.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
That's a whole that's unnecessary. It's just stupid. I don't
like it.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
But again, back to this casual society thing. I hate
how more places are like they don't even allow cash,
like some like arenas in stadium's.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Right, absolutely, they're completely cash lists.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
And like my dad, for example, he he's a cash guy. Yeah,
he's old school. So like I remember, sort of during
the COVID era, I took my dad to a Tiger's
game and they went I think that's when they started
to go.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
I think everywhere cod is an excuse to go cash.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah, so my dad brings cash with him everywhere. I mean,
he's got a debit card, but I don't know if
he even brings it everywhere he goes because he uses
cash everywhere he goes. So my dad's all like flustered
and all mad. He's like, I gotta pay with the
car and I you just want to pay them cash,
and I get it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
Well, I don't know what to say about that. It's
twenty twenty five.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
It's also an option.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
You don't have to do it, so, yeah, Uber's crazy.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
I would do it just to I mean, if I
got a bad Uber driver, I'd do it just to
make their day worse.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
But does it?

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yeah, because now you gotta go to the bank and
the positive. Don't make my day bad or you're sure
I'll pay you with cash. Bro ninety five nine Kiss FM,
it's reading Eddie in the afternoon. So Eddie experimented with
some AI last week.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
It didn't work.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
Yeah, he's trying to get the right lottery numbers.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
That's why I think AI is bogus.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Yeah yeah, I mean.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Because if AI is so smart, I should be a
one point eight million billionaire right now.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
Oh but two people want it, so they got to
split that. That's that was the second biggest jack bent
in history.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
You know, dude, they're from Texas in Missouri. You know
what that means. They don't have to tell single soul
really for both Boa and Dates are anonymous. Those people
aren't gonna be bothered by people anyone. It's so awesome.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
So I got a little breakdown of what that means
for those people who won Okay, so the Texas winner
gets a lump sum, well, they both get a lump
sum of four hundred and ten point three million. That's
after you know, wait, that's before taxes. So the Texas
winner will pay a thirty seven percent federal tax, which

(29:02):
when it's all said and done, the powerball winner from
Texas will get two and fifty and a half million dollars.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Okay, that's free and clear. You're good.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
You don't got to pay any more taxes in Missouri.
So Missouri's a little bit different because they get the
same lump sum four hundred and ten point three million
dollars for thirty seven percent federal tax I gotta pay.
But Texas doesn't have an income tax, so that person
will get more money.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
I feel like, if it's a lot of it should
be the same.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
That's that's well, Missouri, they have a state income tax
and I don't have the number here, but essentially that
person will walk away with two hundred and forty two
point one million.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Let me ask you this. I buy a lottery ticket
here and I know I'm the winner. Can I decide
to move to a state with no income tax?

Speaker 1 (29:45):
No, because it would be where you bought the ticket
from so you don't even have to live here, right.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
That's some bs. Yeah, well yeah, and still a lot
of money.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
Yeah, and I Wisconsin is the state where you have
you can't be anonymous, which is do you know why
that is other than like to make your life hell
well right, like it's already but you're already going to
be in a tough spot, yes, because people are will come.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
After you and you're gonna come out.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
But people will try to like extort you, or they'll
they could kidnap like members of your family, ransom all
that stuff. But it's so stupid, like it should be
morally wrong to force someone to.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
If I don't want people to know I won money,
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
So there is a thing that said, I if you
are like a winner like this, before you catch tickets,
start like an LLC and then once you do that,
you can claim the LLC one that so that's likely
anyone could could be Yeah, you could just be like, hey,
I'll give you a million bucks, pretend you won the life.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
I know who owns the LLC, so you probably look
it up, but just be a little bit hard to
find out. Yeah, just a little bit.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
But yeah, I hate that Wisconsin has.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
When I win next time, I will.
