Listen back to Afternoons with Reed and Eddie from August 4. Reed is in vacation mode but somehow shows up 13 minutes early, while Eddie returns from Springfield, Illinois, where he visited Abraham Lincoln’s house and definitely not a stamp convention. Karli joins the studio for a round of Top 5 nightmares, and Reed shares a wild story about a guy who got sandwich-related revenge four years later. The guys talk about the new dating trend called flocking, Reed’s obsession with weird world records, and why he thinks Eddie needs one too. Plus, strong cookie opinions, and whether money even feels real anymore.

It was up and at them today.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Usually you're like Garfield on a Monday, yeah.

Now, the Monday when I return from vacation, that's gonna
be a horror. It's just gonna be downhill until Christmas break.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Come on that long.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yep, what if we give you incentives not to fear
that way?

Speaker 4 (01:32):
I'd love to hear your idea, like, maybe Monday there
is like an energy drink waiting for you.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
I have so many energy drink now, Katie bought us
so many.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Okay, how about likely a Hamburger waiting for you?

Speaker 2 (01:44):
I mean I could. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
I like the idea of an incentive for me to
do my actual job. Ninety five nine Kiss FM. It's
reading Eddie in the afternoon. Eddie is back today because
you have Friday off to go to the stamp collecting convention.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
We didn't go.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
I love how I I mentioned stamp collecting. Everyone ran
with it and there was no stamp collecting.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Well, Dan Brownfield in Friday for you, and that's all
we were talking about, was like Dan brown Infrared he
was at the stamp collecting convention in Springfield.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Yeah, yeah, No, there was no stamp collecting.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
Although my seven year old does like to collect stamps,
a stamp collector's wid My seven year old is truly
a seventy year old ma'am.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
What hot stamps? Well, he's a.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
Dinosaur kid, right, So there's so he found the stamps
with dinosaurs one day and he's like, there stamps that
could be different, Like, yeah, they could be all sorts
of kind of. Then he just got into it. There
stamps from all over the place, all different kinds of stuff.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Man, sometimes you're pretty cool.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
Actually, I'm like, what am I liking stamps? Now?

Speaker 2 (02:38):
What am I? Am? I that guy now too? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Somewhere pretty cool?

Speaker 2 (02:41):
What is cool about stamps?

Speaker 3 (02:42):
They just got the cool designs.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Oh all right, I get you, I get you, I
get you. But did you go to the Home of
Abraham Lincoln. We did all things Abraham Lincoln and Springfield.
And I gotta tell you one thing. I am disappointed
with the city of Springfield. It is a rundown town
and when you think about it's the home air on Lincoln,
you think it'd be a little bit more just.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
A little bit better. So Abraham Lincoln wasn't born there.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
He was born in Kentucky.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, that's what I thought.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
To Indiana set up shopping just outside of Springfield and
Springfield itself.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Okay, you see like his bedroom, saw his house? Do
you think you have a tiny bed? Why do I
feel like he had a tiny bed?

Speaker 4 (03:19):
Only bed in the house that we saw that was
really like original was his bed.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Fun fact that his wife didn't share a bedroom?

Speaker 3 (03:27):
What the handle us?

Speaker 2 (03:28):
They didn't?

Speaker 4 (03:29):
Well, chances are that they did, but very odd. She
had her own room as well, but the kids would
also sleep there too. You got to think about that.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
That's a little sus right right right, but a little
bit in the bed was an.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Average sized looking bed.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
No, let's go back to the Mary Todd sleeping in
another room thing. Wait a second, maybe just maybe it
was all for show.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
Oh you're going that route. Listen, man, Abe Lincoln was
a great president.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
You know they do call him the beard. Stop. I'm
just saying stop. No, But for real, why is that
was that a thing? Back then? You think like the
wife when it's sleeping, No.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
You think about it.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
She just wanted her place to escape because kids you know,
most families back in that day only had like one
bedroom houses. The kids will sleep together in one bed
and everything.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Maybe one of them was like a farmer and they yeah,
maybe or a snore.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
But also Linky was up up late at night working
on documents when he was part of the Congress and stuff.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
In Springfield, so up doing something at his desk, which
was way too tiny for a guy like that size.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
I feel like everything was tiny back then. That's why
I was thinking about the bed. I don't know everything,
everything is tiny except they lost.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Time, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Giant half and.

Speaker 4 (04:35):
For some reason, steps are very steep like that, like steep,
like high.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Get to where they're going back then, man, no warning
systems or nothing. Nothing.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Nothing.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
It's ninety five nine Kiss FM reading Addie in the
afternoon with Carly sitting in the moment because it is Monday,
usually not my favorite day of the week, but today
I'm all right.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
I think it's vacation reason.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
It's vacation week, so oh yeah, I think it just
shifts my whole brain mindset.

Speaker 5 (05:03):
Yeah, you have like a countdown going.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
While you're on vacation before you start miss work. It's like,
is it two days in where you're like, oh man,
I really missed my co host in the afternoon.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
It's probably not gonna happen once really, not even once.
Am I'm not gonna think of me at any moment
going on? What do what he's up to?

Speaker 3 (05:18):
Right now?

Speaker 2 (05:18):
I'm gonna keep you updated on what I'm doing.

Speaker 5 (05:20):
He's gonna say Daddy's home, Daddy, Daddy's doing this.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
It's the one year anniversary of Daddy. It's I do
it every time I go back, I say Daddy's home.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Man, we're got to play those clips. That was a
good time. All right.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Well it's Monday, so let's do Top five with Carly today.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
So here's what we're gonna do. You figure out.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Let's let's have fun with it. I have a top
five list, I grab it. It's random every single week,
and then Eddie's got to try to guess all five
things on the list.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
I listen. I know, yeah, okay, cool. Thanks.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Usually he's very mediocre, which is where he wants to
be average. Yeah, right, so he doesn't want too much
attention and the right there through exactly. So today we're
gonna have both of you like two brains solving the riddle.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
All right, so I figured I'm gonna do a little
bit of a harder one.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Okay, two brains right, So today we're gonna do top
five most common Nightmares.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
Okay, got it?

Speaker 2 (06:22):
All right? You'll have two songs to take it over.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
You can talk amongst yourselves, and when we come back,
we'll see if Eddie and Carlely can successfully complete the
top five, which is most common nightmares.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Two songs to think about it. We'll do it next.
Eddie's already right in a way. I have lots of lightmares,
are you okay?

Speaker 4 (06:42):
Well?

Speaker 2 (06:43):
All right?

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Special top five today it's ninety five nine Kiss FM
reading Eddie in the afternoon. Normally it's just Eddie doing
the top five, but we wrangled in a Carly to
help Eddie out a little bit.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yep, here we go.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
You're gonna have sixty seconds to tell me the top
five most common nightmares. Okay, you've had two to think
it over, and let's just say i've heard you speaking.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
I'm a little concerned for both of you.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
But Eddie, who has nightmares all the time, you should
nail this, okay, all right, So sixty seconds on the clock,
I'll count you down top five most common nightmares in
three two one go.

Speaker 5 (07:26):
Carl driving off of a bridge into water. What I
have that tree concern for? You're suppose cheating on you?

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Nope? Uh, server nightmares. No, no, that's oddly specific.

Speaker 5 (07:39):
I mean that's these are just one of the ones, right,
being chased by dinosaurs.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Being chased number two.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
Okay, like forgetting your high school combination, your locker combination.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Oh but everyone gets.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
That, right, Yeah, losing all your teeth, Uh nobody, come on,
that's a bad.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
Right, okay, falling down for like a tall building number one,
dying number three, yes, kids in general nightmare. No, no,
twenty seconds blood these are no. No, you're kind of
barking up the wrong tree here. Top five most common nightmares.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
You're not going to get the next Yeah, you're you're trying.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
You don't know where you're at. You lost number four.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
It's a nightmare.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
I've never had that nightmare.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
I just don't think. I didn't get lost Saturday. I
didn't where I parked my car.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
You forget you're that guy.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah, but anyways, here we go. You missed one. You
did good, though, it's top five most common nightmares. Will
do reverse because you didn't get Number five. Number one
is falling. Sixty five percent of people have had a
nightmare about falling, Okay without Eddie in between songs you
said falling.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
In in general just falling down Number two.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Most common nightmares being chased, number three dying, number four
feeling lost, and number five feeling trapped.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
Yeah, I'm claustrophobic in a relationship kind of trapped or trapped.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Like basically is that where your brain is going at
or being buried like in a coffin on the ground
when you're alive, like the movie Buried. Yes, have you
seen that? Could?

Speaker 1 (09:20):
It's so good but it's so all right, So four
out of five ain't bad. I feel like you get
two brains to not even get.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Them all you one too? Whatever?

Speaker 1 (09:30):
Five nine kiss f them. It's reading Eddie in the
afternoon And they say revenge is a dish best served cold. Yeah,
meaning if you're gonna get revenge on someone, the best
way to do it is if you wait long enough,
the person who did you dirty will forget and the
revenge will be a surprise and even better.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
That's the best way to do it for sure.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Can you hold a grudge?

Speaker 3 (09:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (09:52):
I think so you can hold a long grudge like.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
I can be petty. So yes, because I'm.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Still waiting to get you and Hannah both back from
when you scared me in the studio.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
That's like a year and a half, two years ago now,
at least I haven't forgotten.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Don't worry.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Is it you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
The one I submitted for America's Fundies home videos?

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yes, I mean if we don't get called back with
his new TVC Like, I just wanted to let you
know I haven't forgotten. But anyways, there's this one dude
who may just be the revenge king because four years
ago a New Jersey Deli got a guy's sandwich order wrong.
He did not forget. He came back four years later

(10:32):
and carried out his revenge by stabbing two employees. Well
did you say four years Yeah, from a wrong sandwich
order revenge.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
It's my dumb criminal the day.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
I'll tell you the story next, but props for not
giving up four years.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah, it's crazy. We'll tell you about it in two songs.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Stories like this make me paranoid that I accidentally wrong
someone years ago and they're just waiting to get revenge
on me, like this dude who waited four years to
carry out revenge after a sandwich shop made him the
wrong sandwich.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
That's not how you want to go through his life?

Speaker 3 (11:10):
Or like, what is it?

Speaker 2 (11:12):
Rumuinating? Remy?

Speaker 3 (11:13):
What's that what I'm looking for?

Speaker 4 (11:14):
I don't know the word that means, like you thinking
about this NonStop for four years, like you're thinking about
I really want to provolow the game American cheese.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
How dare they? Yeah, they will pay and they did pay.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
So the sandwich shop made him the wrong order four
years ago and he got revenge.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
It's my dumb criminal of the day.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
Police are still looking for a New Jersey man who
stabbed two deli employees after they gave him the wrong
sandwich order four years ago.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Unreal.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Apparently the deli put eggplant in his sandwich, and he
went to the store four years later and claimed he
was allergic to eggplant and it hurt his tummy. He
then took out a box cutter and saw to employees
before bolting out the door. The employees sustained blade wounds
and are expected to fully recover, but.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
The man is still at long. That is wild. Four
years what kind of sandwich?

Speaker 3 (12:13):
Puts eggs.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
Did you put eggplant in? Don't like eggplant? I just
never thought about in a sandwich.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
I guess I wouldn't know.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
I don't think I've ever had an eggplant so good.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
It's pretty delicious.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Dude. What does it taste like like eggplant?

Speaker 4 (12:23):
Like?

Speaker 3 (12:23):
I mean like, oh, okay, it looks like any other squash.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
It's a squash, I think, so what a squash tastes
like like?

Speaker 2 (12:34):
It looks like it tastes like how a pumpkin looks.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
But better, way better. I'll tae it up a little bit.
Mm the lish cut it. I mean, if you saw
tay anything, you could do spaghetti swash, grab a fork
cut squashed I have, grab a fork shred squash and
then it'll look noodle up sort of.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
Why don't you just have noodles? I don't like this
at all. I don't like when it comes to vegetables.
I'm I rarely.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
I don't want to go outside my comfort zone.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
You're missing out, dude, you're missing out.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Let me look at me. I'm look at me. I'm
a grown man. I've lived this long barely mind.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
You what your saying on zucchini's.

Speaker 2 (13:09):

Speaker 4 (13:11):
Oh my dude, I gotta I'm gonna bring some in
for you, for real. I got in my garden. He's like,
we have a lot of zucchini.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
I'll get you some zucchini green, yes, zucchini, squash, eggplant.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
They're all like the same, aren't they.

Speaker 4 (13:22):
That's what I'm saying. It tastes the same as they're delicious.
You saw tee them up. Dude.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
Come on, I got this.

Speaker 2 (13:28):

I just don't want to do it. Eat like a
five year old dude. I'm a grown man. Okay, I
have a beard. Where's my ten ds? I do love
my chicken tends.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
You love some good old Dino chicken nuggets.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Nine Kiss FM.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
It's reading Eddie in the afternoon. And before you left
for a little mini vacation. Yes, last week you sent
me a link in email. And I know you're feeling
a certain way about this because I know we've talked
about breaking world records before, and I know you probably
feel a way that I unofficially have a world record

(14:07):
of fastest paper.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
Plane being made, but you don't. I do. I have
video of it.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
I was I did it the fastest anyone has ever
built a paper in the book, No, because no, But
that's because we didn't have the Guinness person here. But technically,
I know, in my heart of hearts that I am
the fastest Samit to ever create and fly a paper plane. Okay,
So I know you feel a way about it, and

(14:32):
I want to. I want you to also have a
world record.

Speaker 4 (14:35):
I'm on a quest to be in the Guinness World
Records and I want to do you don't want to do?
I do?

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Okay, Eddie wants to drink for twenty four hours every drink.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
That's way the most bars gone to win twenty four hours.
If you don't have to drink alcohol, you can drink water.
Now I want to do this. How cool would it
be to have this title? But logistically, I think it's
trickier than you're making it out to be. So we're gonna,
I think we're actually gonna attempt to try this one day. Yes,
but it's gonna have to take an effort from everybody

(15:06):
here to put it together, the planning, the prep. But
because I know this means so much to you, I
went ahead and did a little research on world records
that I think maybe we can break like at least
real legit ones for real Guinness approved world records. I'm
in Some of them like seem easy, but like aren't

(15:28):
really easy at all. These are the ones I think
are probably gonna be the easiest, and I'm not kidding you.
Sent out an email Thursday night saying love like promotional ideas.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yes, one of them is one of these. Okay you
want just tell it to you now? Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
I think we could easily Eddie easily and we could
turn into a promotional event get the most high fives
given in one minute while running? Okay, I think we
can do it. Are we the ones running or are
people running to us we're running? We could do this
and the world record for that is two hundred and ninety.

Speaker 3 (15:59):
I just need to hundred people lined up, right.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
So we would need the kiss listeners.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
We'd have to get like a get together, right, Yeah,
and then we start running down a line, but I
think like we'd have to have people on both sides,
so it's like we're running through a tunnel.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
But then does that kind us too high five s?

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Yeah? Oh see what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Easy, easy, but fear not, Eddie, we will break a
world record, and I've got four or five more. I
scoured the Guinness page and I found the most ridiculous
yet I think breakable world records that we can do.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
We're about to set a book.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
Oh God, We're gonna get so many world records. I'll
tell you what my favorite are that I think we
can do next. It's one of our life goals to
break a world record. Now I already did break a
world record, it's just unofficial because there wasn't a Guinness
person near Fine. I'm the fastest human to ever make
a paper.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
Plane was crumbled up piece of paper.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
No, it was folded. I still have it for record
keeping purposes. But it's nine five nine Kiss FM. Reading
Eddie in the afternoon. I know Eddie feels a way
that I have a world record and he doesn't. So
I scoured the Guinness website and I found some of
these world records that I think we can break. One
of them is most high fives given in one minute

(17:10):
while running. That seems really easy. I've got a game
plan I told you off the year that I'm not
gonna share quite yet.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
It's almost too easy.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
We could buy a game plan.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
We could triple that with your game plan. Easily.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
I'm telling you easily. We're we're already in the world
records just thinking about it.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
So here's some more and these are kind of goofy.
But who's laughing. No one's gonna laugh. I'm not gonna
laugh when I have a world record, I'm not. What
about most baked beans eaten with a toothpake in one minute.

Speaker 4 (17:35):
With a toothpick? Yeah, what's the magic number right now?
Fifty six in one minute with the toothpick? Boom boom,
boom boom.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
Easy. I mean, you can easily break the cold.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
You do two at a time.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
I think you'd have to have the hand eye coordination
to have a step though, so that'd be.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
Somebody stab them for you.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
I don't know, dude, I have them all laid out already.
I gotta just grab a toothpick.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
About this one, most pair of underwear put on in
thirty seconds, all right, the record is thirty I could
beat that.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
That seems hard.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Now, they'd have to gradually get bigger.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
Yeah, that's a hard one.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
That's hard to do it.

Speaker 4 (18:10):
I feel like that's too hard because you're talking about
one care a minute.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
That's about Okay, if you're not keen any of those,
this one easy. Most bananas snapped in half in one minute?

Speaker 3 (18:20):
What's the magic number right now?

Speaker 2 (18:22):
Ninety nine? Easy? You have to be exactly a half?
Or could you be like Quinns because there's no way,
you know, you just take anand and you you snap
it in the appeal? Tricky?

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Yeah, like you have to unpeel then snap.

Speaker 2 (18:36):

Speaker 3 (18:37):
Or can you just snap because you can snap while
they're in the peak.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
Okay, what about this one? Now, most straws stuffed in

Speaker 4 (18:57):
Okay, I mean, if you want to try that one,
I'll let you handle that one on your own.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Okay, Well, this is the last one. We could easily
break this world record, I think. Okay, most eggs crushed
with head in thirty seconds?

Speaker 3 (19:10):
What's the magic number?

Speaker 2 (19:12):
Eighty? That's it.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
I'm telling you we could easily break these world records,
and we're gonna do it.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
I have my world record already in the book. He's
gonna get you one. Two.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
We're gonna do it together because teamwork makes the dream work.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Read it Eddie in the Afternoon.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
Multi award winning DJs and future world record holders.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
I mean, I would love that on my resume.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
Right ninety five nine kids FM. It's reading Eddie in
the Afternoon and you're a merry guy, So, sir, another
thing you don't.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Have to worry about.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
Oh thank god.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
But there's a new dating trend on the rise. People
are ditching the apps. Probably a good thing. They're after garbage, garbage. Yeah,
they're ditching the apps in this new dating trend and
opting to meet people in real life. There, look at
that who meeting people in real life? So it's a

(20:04):
new trend. They're doing it a different way though. The
trend is called flocking. Any idea, then flocking?

Speaker 3 (20:11):
You said flocking?

Speaker 2 (20:12):
Do this sound like I said, I'm I'm just making
sure you said flocking? Flocking?

Speaker 3 (20:16):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (20:17):
Any idea? No?

Speaker 4 (20:19):
Yes, like a flock of birds? Do you go where
there's groups of like, go with a groups of people somewhere?

Speaker 1 (20:24):
Good guess, not even close they're traveling the globe to
find love. It's called flocking. It's a new trend, and
i'll tell you about it next and way. I think
it's stupid.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
You don't give a flock about it.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
I like that. I was good.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
Yeah, I'll tell you all about flocking now, new dating trend, Eddie.
You don't got to worry about it because you're married.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
That you gotta yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
The hard part is getting married, like finding like tricking
someone into and then the second hardest part is like
keeping up the stick.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
Do you think I conned my well, you did catfisher.
I didn't catfisher technically.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
No, you suck.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
All right. It's a new dating trend on the rise.
It's called flocking.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
Basically, people are ditching the apps and deciding to meet
people in real life, in person.

Speaker 3 (21:16):
I can get behind that.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Good for you. Who thought that would work?

Speaker 3 (21:19):
Have you try to yet?

Speaker 1 (21:20):
I've never actually been in like a relationship relationship from
anyone I met on the app. It's all been in person,
Like I met him in person. Anyways, what they're doing
is they're getting rid of the apps and they're traveling.
They're going places in hopes to meet at a hotel bar,
or an airport or a resort, or a cruise or

(21:40):
a random weekend getaway.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
It's tell that they're looking for one night stands. Well,
that's kind of the problem.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
It's like, cool, you you find love, and then you
both live in different places.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
Right on vacation, you go to Amsterdam to get crazy
and you fall in love with the person behind the glass.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
Yeah, and then all of a.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
Sudden you think you found your one.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
And no, did you say behind the glass? If you
want to catch the heads? You mean a hooker?

Speaker 2 (22:05):
Got that?

Speaker 3 (22:07):
You get it? You've done it? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (22:09):
No, I mean I've seen I've read about it. Oh sure,
uh so, yeah, I don't know. Also, this is like expensive.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
Why can't you just do that in.

Speaker 4 (22:18):
Your hometown or in like where you can travel to
easling get home at night.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
What says the idea is, if you can't find love
where you live, maybe you've explored all of your options.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
Maybe there's just.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
You know, I mean, this area is a small area,
and even I mean even big cities like they they're
kind of small circles.

Speaker 4 (22:36):
But here me, yeah, I mean northeast Wisconsin. Okay, sure
isn't big, but it's not small. Have you been to
every single joint out there? You never know exactly, like
you never know, maybe just end up the wrong places. Yeah,
like we just got to find you a barstool somewhere
and you know, swamiko or whatever.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
And I'm good, I'm good good. But yeah, new trend
flacking in the afternoon.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
And money is crazy, just crazy that money, like does
it even exist?

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Of course it exists.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
It We run our society based on money.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
We run our society based on a number of computer says.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
I mean, now we do you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
Did you ever learn how to check bounce a checkbook?

Speaker 2 (23:23):
Yeah? But well kind of I remember.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
That someone gining teacher were like, I'm just gonna go
I'm gonna go crazy not paying attention to it.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Right, But anyways, no, see, I'm starting to think money
is not real at all because this doesn't make any sense.
And we've got to talk about this.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
So there's this story that I just read today of
Mark Zuckerberg, who is now like the third richest.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
Man in the world.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Because it sucks really yeah, because Meta went up like
a bunch. He's worth like two hundred and fifty billion.
Dollars or something.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Good for him.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
So what Mark Zuckerberg is trying to do is create
like an all star team of like AI engineers. So
he's offering signing bonuses and stuff to people at Chat
GPT to come work for him. And this has been
happening for a while, but this is a new story,
Like I cannot possibly fathom turning down this offer that
Mark Zuckerberg just made a dude who has his own startups, okay,

(24:11):
and the dude turned it down. There's this dude who
turned down one point two billion dollars just to work
for Mark Zuckerberg.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yep, And I'll tell you next. I can't fathom this.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
And this is where I don't think money even exists,
because it's not like he would be getting the money
in a briefcase. It would be in a bank account,
which there's no proof that the money is even there
to back it up. Anyways, that's the secondary part of
my story here turning think about turning down a one
point two billion dollar offer for six years.

Speaker 4 (24:43):
By the way, that's so that you don't get paid
while you're working. That's your one time payment.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
Well, you you'll get paid over six years.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
That told you okay, gotcha?

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yes, So a.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Matt, what do you need more in life than to
do that work for six more years and be done forever?

Speaker 2 (24:56):
Right?

Speaker 1 (24:56):
I mean we're gonna talk about that next. And the
twenty four year old kid who just accepted another offer
from Mark Zuckerberg, which is also mind blowing. I don't
think money even exists.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
Well it does. I just don't have it. That's why
it doesn't exist for you. You don't haven't, don't have enough.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Yeah, so I really don't think money even exists anymore.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
Think about it.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
If we if like all of our internet and electron
like electronics went down from like a solar flare, you
wouldn't have any money.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
There's gotta be records of it somewhere.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
Right, oh right, But how are you gonna get it?

Speaker 3 (25:33):
There's got to be one computer somewhere in the world
that has all this information.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
How are you going to get your money if you're
in an emergency and everything went down, I'm.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
Gonna have to wait and line at a bank.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
But they done that power, You're not getting your money,
oh man.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
So anyways, here's a dude who turned down a one
point two billion dollar deal from Mark Zuckerberg just a
dude for his services. He's not selling him anything like
a company.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
He's not.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
All he's doing is working essentially. It's like an NFL contract. Sure,
six years, one point two billion dollars and the guy
turned him down.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
Why is a Zuck offering me this kind of.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
Money because you're not smart enough? No, I got ideas, well,
both of us.

Speaker 4 (26:10):
I mean the fact that we got ideas is get
somebody to pay somebody half of what you would pay
them to do our ideas.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Our time is coming, Eddie. But there's this dude.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
His name's Andrew Tullick, and he turned down one point
two billion dollars from Mark Zuckerberg. He actually used to
work for Zuckerberg and Meta back in the day for
like ten years. Then he went over to chat GPT
and work for a little bit. And now he's got
his own AI startup, a company with an estimated value
of twelve billion.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
Well, I guess that's why.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
But he's got I mean.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
He's got start Emptner.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
Okay, So he turned down one point two billion dollars
over six years, and I just can't fathom it because
like what that would solve, Like I would never need
anything ever again, Yeah, for my family for anything.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (26:51):
So my guess is he's got to start up that's
valued at twelve billion. He's factoring in that his startup
is gonna make a lot more money.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
Very sat right, But you're still taking a gamble a
little bit. Sure, you could take a quick out one
point two million dollars right now, which is just insane
because here's another dude. Mark Zuckerberg just paid a twenty
four year old kid who dropped out of school but
is like a genius or something. Okay, just paid this
twenty four year old kid two hundred and fifty million

(27:21):
dollars over four years to just come work for him.
And that was after Zuckerberg's first low ball offer, which
the kid turned down, of one hundred and twenty five
million dollars.

Speaker 3 (27:32):
That's a lot of money.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
How can you even like you're twenty four, imagine turning
down one hundred and twenty five million dollars for four years.

Speaker 4 (27:38):
That means this guy is potentially making more money over
that time period.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
It's gotta be.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
There's all the way you would hear that. Now, he
accepted the two hundred and fifty million dollars for four years.
That's insane.

Speaker 4 (27:50):
Zuck got all this money because he was making a
website just trying to get into people's pants. Yeah, that's
how I mean, like this guy was a perf essentially
back in college.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
Gives us hope.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
Betty ninety five nine, Kiss FM, it's Read and Addie
in the afternoon.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
It's a National chocolate chip Cookie.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
Day, all right, hot, take right here?

Speaker 2 (28:10):
You ready? M I don't know why reach for any
other cookie when there's chcolate chip cookies right there. That's fair.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
Chocolate chip cookies never disappoint.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
Who was the first person you think to make a
cookie and be like, you know what, let's put these
little chunks of chocolate in there.

Speaker 4 (28:25):
I don't know, but they deserve a statue somewhere. Yeah,
because it's a genius thing.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
At least the statue.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
I mean, there's all sorts of cookies, right, they're a
great cookies.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
But when it comes to chocolate chip cookies, I don't
like the hard ones.

Speaker 4 (28:38):
They got chewy. Yeah, I don't like like the chip
ahoy kind or you want something chewy and nothing's better
than right out of the oven so good. The smell
is fantastic.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
But here's like I don't like I don't like chocol
I don't like the cookie dough ice creams, though.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
I don't mind it. I don't mind it, but I
might rather have a chocolate chip cookie. Though.

Speaker 4 (28:57):
If you give me the choice of a chocolate chip
cookie or chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, I'll go
with the cookie.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
Oh man, I was at Costco the other day and shocker,
I was gonna say, I love these Costco stories, please say.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
They had the samples out and one dude was giving
away the Costco the Kirkland brand vanilla ice cream with
like he would break up.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Like a cookie and put it in the cup too. Oh,
oh my god.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
You know it's just vanilla ice cream and chocolate chip cookies,
But why did it hit so different?

Speaker 4 (29:27):
Then all sorts wearing a fake mustache going back again, gets.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Faked classes and goes back in line again.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Dude, that could be a game, like how many times
can we go back and get.

Speaker 4 (29:36):
Oh do we trademark ideas because we're doing this, We're
gonna have a video camera, We're gonna do this.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
We'll just get like a COVID mask and then we'll
get one of those glasses with the nose and mustache
on it, and then.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
We'll like just do a whole wardrobe change.

Speaker 3 (29:48):
You do all that wall just keep you going the night,
like guys myself.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Yeah, I won't say new game. It would say how
much samples we can get from the same person at Costco.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
I love it.
