Speaker 5 (00:55):
All right, we'll get to that in just a moment.
Here's someone who says Scott is the man for the job.
You can talk to anyone about anything. He loves the
city and he has a great gift of informing and entertaining.
This is the guy that's allegedly standing outside with a sign,
(01:16):
although no one has seen him.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I'm not sure you might be outside the wrong place
where Just.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Really fine, We're good. We have a show to do.

Ice squid there all right, Dugi, are you ready for

to honor anyone that has helped serve or serve or
(01:59):
currently So Veterans Day. You might have some kids are
in school, but you might have some banks and some
the post office will not be running.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
Does that always fall on a different day of the week,
or is it always a Tuesday?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Or I don't know, that was a Monday, but I
guess I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Anyway, all right, Elsewhere, we have the president calling on
the nation's air traffics.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Different days, different days, okay, but always the same day
of the month, always the eleventh.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yes, better day was also known as Armistice Day because
that was that marked the end of World War One
in nineteen eighteen.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Okay, thank you.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
The President is calling on the nation's air traffic controllers
to return to work immediately. Flight delays, the cancelations continue
to pile up across the country. I have two different
sets of families who have kids in college and they
are heading driving ones driving like nine hours. Another one's
(02:59):
driving to Chicago to go pick up their kid and
then coming back because.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
I'm faster than flying. Yeah, they're just waiting at the airport, right. Yeah,
you have to really I did see you have to.
What's the quote? Because it is.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Paragraph a quote.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
I didn't know that there was a quote.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
I'll get point.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
You can pull up.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I have it here, Okay, here read it. You don't, Okay,
I have it, I have it.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
I just you said here, Oh.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
No, here, No, here's here's the quote. Here's there. You go, rover.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
All air traffic controllers must get back to work now
in all caps. Anyone who doesn't will be substantially docked.
For those air traffic controllers who were great patriots and
didn't take any time off for the Democrat shutdown hoax,
I will pee.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Reck what what is that hoax?
Speaker 5 (03:55):
I will be recommending a bonus of ten thousand dollars
per person for distinguished service to our country. For those
that did nothing but complain and took time off even
though everyone knew they would be paid in full shortly
into the future. I am not happy with you. You
didn't step up to help the USA against a fake
(04:15):
Democrat attack that was only meant to hurt our country.
You will have a negative mark, at least in my mind,
against your record now and then it goes on.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I that's as far as I got one hour of
read more Rover.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
If you want some loaders service in the near future,
please do not hesitate to do so with no payment
or severance of any kind. You'll be quickly replaced by
true patriots who will do a better job, a job
they're not getting paid for, by the way.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Just they'll do a grand new, state of the art equipment,
which we don't have yet, the best in the world
that we are in the process of ordering. Okay, the
last administration wasted billions of dollars trying to fix antiquated junk.
They had no idea what they were doing. Why he
didn't do this in his first administration fix all of
(05:02):
these problems. But anyways, regardless, So here's what I think
about that. I think that is incredibly out of touch
with the way that many people live their lives. And
to say, well, you knew you're going to be paid
in full, you just keep showing up to work for
(05:23):
free and you're not actually collecting a paycheck. So let's
say that the government shut down ends. Let's say we're
to end today which I don't think it is. But
let's just say that it's not like you would get
paid today or tomorrow. They then have to process things
and do direct deposits or pay per checks or whatever
(05:44):
you're set up.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I mean, this is a thing.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
So by the time that you get paid, you're going
for over a month, month and a half or something,
maybe two months without getting a paycheck.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Now you're not a patriot if I can get it.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
When you are a billionaire and you know everything that
you touch is coded in gold. But most people don't
live that way. Most people they need a paycheck. And
and yeah, are people if they're just calling out sick
to protest or whatever, yeah, that's that's not right. But
but there many of these people who were calling off
(06:22):
sick to their jobs, their government jobs, were calling off
six so they could go drive an uber or earn
cash some way. That's what they had to do in
order to put food on the table. So I just
I think it's out of touch when you say that,
why didn't you continue to show up to work. It's
(06:43):
just not realistic for people to go two months without
getting a paycheck. That being said, you know, the the
ending of the government shut down. We'll see how long
it takes to actually end this shutdown. But what did
you accomplish over alreaty plus days of a government show?
Speaker 6 (07:01):
More important was accomplished? But more important than that, what
about the ten thousand dollars?
Speaker 4 (07:08):
He's like, let's go back to the ten thousand. Is
that happen?
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Laura Ingram actually asked him and goes, hey, we're gonna
give these people ten thousand dollars right after their terror,
which there.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Were a lot of them.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
I'm sending them a ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Where's that money coming from?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I don't know. I'll get it from someplace.
Speaker 7 (07:25):
I'll get it from I always get the money from
someplace regardless, it doesn't matter. We did a lot of
I do a lot of bonuses with people because it's
really something that it's like the American way when you
think about it.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
All right, So we'll get the money from somewhere.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
It would either come from taxpayers, or it would come
from some company that wants to do a big merger
and they need to curry favor with the administration because
it was a big merger, would probably be denied.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Oh yeah, yeah, we'll step up. We'll pay for.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Those bonuses and then boom, oh well it's a miracle
our merger was approved.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
That's what, you know, one of those two scenarios. When
do you think they'll get.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
That right after their tariff check and their doze check.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Probably they might never get.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
This ten thousand dollars. Will we ever hear about this
ten thousand dollars?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Again? Probably not, would be my guess.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
But anything's this is a little bit different because these
are people, you know, this is not like some pie
in the sky thing.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
We're getting tariff checks. We're getting those checks. This is
actually promised to people who are.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
You know, I don't know how many of them have continued,
didn't miss a day at work. Let's you say five
thousand air traffic controllers. Those five thousand people, I think
have a legitimate claim if they never get that ten
thousand dollars to say, hey, hold on, we were promised
to ten thousand dollars bonus in the midst of this.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
So five fifty million dollars, who's gonna pay that? Trump
he's a billionaire. He could pay that out of his
own pocket, like he's paying for the ballroom.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
Oh wait, but you know, you get my you catch
my II grafted all right, go on.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
So with the shutdown, even though that they're still trying
to figure everything out, all of this with air travel,
it could leave us in a bind and a kind
of like a choke hold for months and maybe even
a year. So this could take such because we're not
out of the woods yet. Until the deal is officially linked,
(09:22):
airlines must continue to follow the FAA's emergency order to
reduce the flight capacity at forty major US airports. So
that's what they're saying that this could take quite some
time to get back up and running, all right. The
Supreme Court said yesterday that they will not reconsider their
landmark twenty fifteen ruling that established the constitutional right to
(09:44):
same sex marriage. They rejected the appeal from all.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
That means is this from that county clerk that wanted
to who refused to married four times? Yeah, yeah, so
she was married four times, but to a man, not
a not a woman four times, three different guys. So
at some point she got remarried to the same guy.
She she had the you know, but very sacred i'll
(10:14):
end up. So then that means that it's the established
law of the land. I mean they already ruled on it,
but now they've sort of reinforced that to say you
you can have same sex marriage.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Go on one last president's story, he asked the US
Supreme Court to review the five million dollar civil case
that found he sexually abused and defamed the magazine columnist
Egene Carol. So he has asked the Supreme Court if
they could, can you just get rid of that and
toss that. We'll see if that happened.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Ryan says, air traffic controllers make an average of one
hundred and forty five thousand dollars a year if they
live paycheck to paycheck. That's a problem, is it if
you have three kids and your wife stays home to
take care of the kids, because you see, you're not
paying day. I mean, it's expensive. I just I'm telling you,
I don't think most people. We've seen these statistics on
(11:08):
what people have in savings, and it's a problem. I
admit that many people don't save properly. They're not thinking
of the future or what if, or you know what,
an unexpected thing like a government shut down or a
a ti rod replacement or whatever the case may be.
(11:31):
People don't anticipately, you know, they should, but we've seen
statistics most people don't.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
And I just had this, Yeah, I just had this happen.
I my dryer has been on the fritz. I got
this washer and dryer in two thousand and nine, so
she's been pretty good to me all these years. And
I just waited and waited, and then the last month,
I've used a screwdriver to hit the power button on
the washer because it was like everything wasn't working anymore.
(12:02):
So on Saturday took a crap. I had to go
to Low's Look and Shop. Everything is so expensive. I
like to think I saved some money. Fifteen hundred dollars later,
you're still like, oh my god, I don't have any money.
You know, you just get scared because the set or
washer and dryer fade.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Now, what was wrong with it? Wait?
Speaker 4 (12:23):
What was wrong?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
The button was wrong or.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
So the power it wasn't working sometimes and it was working,
so there were a couple of buttons that weren't turning,
or it would go unlocked and you couldn't get it out.
You had to reset everything. It just was a mess.
And it's just how many years is that?
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Yeah, you might have been able to repair it, but
you have had those for a long time, so maybe
it's maybe you were due.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Now.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
I did get a phone call from Douji over the weekend.
Oh tell me more. It wasn't asking for fifteen hundred dollars, thankfully, surprisingly,
it was oh no, kind of do I have gas
or electric? I don't know how am I supposed to know?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Because you're a kind of dryer you have in your house?
How would I know that?
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Because when I moved into the house, you bought me that.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah. Oh nice of me.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
Huh, well, wait, you gave her so much money and
you were buying her appliances.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
You bought me a washer on dryer because he knew
he couldn't have the show without me, and I was
going to leave to go back on the Chicago.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Wow. Just want to be real, Why why did you?
Speaker 8 (13:33):
Well?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
And I will say so two things.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I don't even remember this.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
I've definitely never bought a girlfriend a washer dryer, yeah,
or anything.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Had to have a way for her to wash the
onesis of my daughter, right, yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Real quick? Because so the first thing I found the set,
which is cheaper than the one that he bought me
in two thousand and nine. When you bought me that.
That was really nice. Back then it was expensive.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
What I do you know? What do you mean? You
said you've found the set? How do you know how much.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
It was, the brand and what it was. And it
was a frontloaders. Those are more expensive and they had
You're like, you got to get the stool to raise
it so you're not bending down, so like okay, so
that back in two thousand and nine was really excuse
we use the stool. I got rid of them.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Now they probably come as a set. They change those out.
They get you on that.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I don't know what the stool is. It's a drawloading washer. Yeah.
Otherwise they're too low.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
They're on their ground level and they have to bend
down and break your bag. So they put a so
he knows. They sell you for a few hundred dollars each.
They sell you a head of stal to put your
washer and dryer on to raise them up.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yep, so it's a scam. Can you just put anything
under it?
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Well?
Speaker 4 (14:49):
I bought the cheaper ones and they're very small because
they're on the floor, which is and I do bend
down to get out. It's I don't have the fancy
top loader. I have none of them.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
The top loaders not fancy, but is the fancy one
and they don't.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Work as good.
Speaker 9 (15:04):
Yeah, you want the top loader with the agitator in
the middle. You want the washer, not talking washer, fucking dryer.
The agitator is in the washer.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Yeah, but you said you don't have a top loader.
What are you talking about your washer?
Speaker 4 (15:17):
You have a front loader.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Front loaders. It's really simple to tell, which is why
you have front It's in the front on the top.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
Yeah, top that's those are the ones that actually work better,
all the front loaders.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Yeah, but the front loaders are so expensive anyway, that.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Front loaders you have to keep the seal moist so
that seal is probably so it doesn't leak. That I
prefer the top loading washing machines, and what the high
efficiency wants.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Not high efficiency those are those suck Those Those are
the ones that don't They don't set up as much.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
But anyway, so, yes, what were you going to say?
Speaker 4 (15:52):
My friend said, oh, don't go and buy that at
the store. Go to get go, get the fuel parks,
and get the extra credit. When you buy gift cards
at that particular store, you get all of these credits.
So at least you're making money off of having to
bite it and get a laundry room.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
So you're grocery, go to the gas station and you
buy gift cards.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Well, this is a Jeffrey move.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
This smart fine.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
I bought in gift cards and gift cards and then
you go spend How do you pay those?
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Do you have to like spread out like a like
a poker hand with all of your gift cards?
Speaker 4 (16:34):
I did, Actually it was I bought three five hundred
dollars ones And he's then.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
What do you get for your as a result of that?
What bonus do you get?
Speaker 4 (16:44):
You get fuel parks which can take money off of
your gas tank. And you can also get or choose
this well filling up the guest tank, or you can
choose the money that's in your account for to take away.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
From your Don't you know when you're at the grocery store,
Rover pop up will say, hey, you have all these
perks you want, like your grocery bill. After you spent
that amount, it might be free. Might go, hey, you
get free groceries today.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
I have thirty three dollars in my account now before
I bought the gift cards. That says Hey, do you
want to use this on your And I'm saving up
so I can use it for Thanksgiving, but it'll pay
for your whole bill.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Why did you bring all this up.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Emergency oh, emergency.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Money, emergency money fond.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
No, because I said, in the middle of all of that,
I save and I had to spend fifteen hundred dollars
and that still hurts. So imagine if you're with the FAA,
and you were, they're saying you've got to go back
to work.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Well, if you're not getting paid bills continue, Yeah, I mean,
I just don't even if somebody's making one hundred and
forty five thousand dollars a year, they still have a mortgage,
they still have a car or two car payments, they
still have, you know, everything that they're paying for. So
I'm just telling you a lot of people don't have
the money too. They should, it's the smart thing to do,
(18:00):
but they don't have an emergency fund to just go
months without a paycheck. Jerry says, I like how Jeffery
has a preference for washer and dryer. Yeah, he turns
them down, doesn't even own one. We offered to give
him a free washer and dryer. It was a topload.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Don't like it? Yeah, I know it was a toploader.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
Every time I had a place like a garage sale
or anything.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
There's always a washing dryer for sale.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
I always send him over to Jeffery and go, Jeffrey,
you got one right here, go you just pick it
up today.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
It's like fifty bucks for the set. Never, I'd never
hear back.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
From him what he should have.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
I see him all the time, and I know that
he can see them all the time too, because he
was going to those flea markets.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
They're everywhere if you're willing.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
He has in his apartment building, he has a space
in the in the basement for a washer and dryer,
which is interesting because when he moved in, there was
a washer and dryer there, and then one of his
neighbors just said, that's mine.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
It left. It took me. It was the previous stay
that came back and took it. Yeah. I don't know
about it, okay.
Speaker 10 (19:01):
It no, you said somebody else from another apartment gap.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah. Yeah, And they claimed that it was theirs through
some sort.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
Of I just wasn't ou in the mood to fight
over he was gonna argue about it because it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Really when you moved in, they said, that's your washer
and dryer? Right?
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Did could he use it? Was left by the previous tenant.
And then in sub mady another building claimed it. I
was like two tiers in a two tiers in a bucket.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Chuck it.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
No, nobody, you don't go to your landlord and say,
wait a second, hold on, when I moved in, you
said I have a washer and dryer.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
What happened?
Speaker 2 (19:28):
All I know, all I remember was that that one
of the other neighbors has claimed to us like I
just wasn't.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I'm not a confrontational type of person.
Speaker 6 (19:35):
That's like, so you could just go to Jeffrey's house
and just take anything want mine, and he'll just he's
not going to confront you.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
All right, I'm out, all right.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
So this is how I need to buy make big
purchases in the future. I have to convert all of
my cash into gift cards so that then and then
take those to the store and now I will have
fuel perks, big bucks.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
If I'm my friends, my friends in the trades do
this all the time.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
Go go to the grocery store, go get a bunch
of home depot gift cards, buy all that. Then they
then they go buy all this stuff they have. You know,
an electrician, he goes and buys all of his wires,
whatever he needs for the job, and then he it
just now he has all those perks and then he
gets free gas because of it.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Now, what about if you can you also double up
on not on the perks, but if I buy those
gift cards with a credit card that gives me cash.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Back or something like that.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
Now oh oh, now you're really say, oh, I might
have to get in on this my Disney card.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
What's your what's your Disney? What does your Disney card
give you?
Speaker 5 (20:38):
So, like, the more you spend, the more free passes
the Disney you get.
Speaker 10 (20:42):
I get the money, and then I'm going to use
that for my Disney vacations.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
Oh is this not you're just saying you're you personally
are using this for Disney. It's a Disney card.
Speaker 8 (20:50):
It is.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Okay, did you get on the plane?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
No?
Speaker 10 (20:53):
No, I'm sorry, No no, no they didn't. We've got
it later, I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (20:56):
But so then it gives you Disney just give you
actual money or like Disney money that can be us Disney.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Well that's Yeah, that's what we're using it for.
Speaker 10 (21:04):
Is for for that, Okay, but yeah, we buy it,
we pay our bills with it and everything, and then
I just use my regular bank to pay that off.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
I was gonna pay it anyway.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Points good points man over here, all right, And finally.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
With this real quick the story that I tease, big
changes are on their way for Dick Clark's New Year's
Rock and Eve, the long running countdown broadcast, which of
course is hosted by the very lovely Ryan Seacrest. They're
adding something that viewers have apparently been asking for decades.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
For the first time the new house, right.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Uh No, For the first time in over fifty years,
Rock and Eve will include a Central time zone countdown celebration,
So they're going to add a team in Chicago. Details
on who will host the Chicago Countdown are still fourth condtion.
My vote is John Cusack for him to do. He'd
be great on the Countdown because it's so personable.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Is I think it's I think it's Dick Clark with
Ryan Seacrest.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Somebody did a deal with a tourism deal with I
think it's Puerto Rico and it's the most annoying thing
on New Year's Eve that they have this host in
Puerto Rico. It's the same woman every year, and this
is all paid for by the Puerto Rican Tourism Board
and that's why they do it.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
They have a ball drop or whatever they have in Puerto.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Rico and they have this woman who was just, I mean,
just a horrendous hosting this New Year's Eve thing and
they so they count down, so this is like an
hour before the ball drops in New York and they
do this big thing in Puerto Rico and oh man,
it's really annoying.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
So now they're adding Chicago. Yep.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
I wonder if this is paid for by like the
Chicago Tourism Board or something, because I know Puerto Rico
is absolutely paid for. It's a it's.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
A mess, it's a disaster.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
But anyway, yeah, they might. It'll be interesting to see
who's going to host it. I don't know, I don't know.
What I don't want.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Isn't he from Chicago.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
It might be a little persona non grata though, Ryan Seacrest,
Kanye Kanye.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Oh, there's no way, Disney, No, I know, is that
a joke?
Speaker 6 (23:14):
Yeah, Okay, I don't think they're gonna have the Nazi guy.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
You guys, that would work.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
We're not having the ball drop.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
We're throwing Jews into the fire for a New Year's
I mean, come.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
On, that's s is the rovers warning Glory. There's a
place where.
Speaker 11 (23:28):
The orange content flows like water and the streets are
paved with skid mark? Is it Heaven?
Speaker 1 (23:36):
No, It's better. It's Range plus.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
Sign up now at roverradio dot com.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Speaking of Kanye, I did see. I just saw a
headline and a picture. He is seeking forgiveness. He met
with a rabbi and he's like, hey, I I apologize
for the all the anti Jew rhetoric over the past
few years.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Please offer me forgiveness.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
And I was like, oh, all right, that's a very
mature thing, probably too a little too late. But then
I didn't read the whole article once I got to
the part where it started talking about the rabbi, because
I'm like, oh, it's like it's like this guy with
the beard, you know, like the whole thing, this guy
right here, And I'm like, oh man, this is a you.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Know, very serious and this is a very religious.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Well whoever this rabbi is, he spent time I believe
in federal prison for some sort of shenanigans. There's some
sort of weird stuff going on with the rabbi, and
I'm like, oh my god, you can't just have like
a normal thing where you go and you ask for
forgiveness or whatever. It's always got to be from a
scammer or a fraudst or something some weird agenda going
(24:52):
on here.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
I thought, I know, you have to seek a break.
I thought that was AI generated when I saw it.
I didn't think that was a real picture.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Yeah, it's real, I guess. And I don't know.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Is the old guy the person who spent time in
prison or this other guy in the middle. Like the
old guy, You're like, the guy's a thousand years old
in one of those weird robes that looks like a
wizard with all the gold trim and stuff. I mean,
he looks like out of a movie or something. Then
you have the guy in the middle. Was he the
one that spent time in prison? I don't know, But
(25:21):
Kanye is always surrounded by people who just seem to
be a little, a little off. I've got to take
a quick break. We'll be right back on rovers morning, Glory.
Speaker 11 (25:31):
Hang on now, back to the show.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Garbage van access.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
That's old news. Kanye met with that rabbi last week.
Well I didn't say it was today, Yeah, I said,
I saw, Yeah, it was a.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Few days ago.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
And here's somebody who says Oliver says eighteen percent interest,
that's the lowest listed on.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
I think Disney card for.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
Two percent fuel Park perks talk about dumb.
Speaker 10 (26:26):
We don't pay interest, pay dockery month exactly.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
It doesn't make sense if you don't pay off the
credit card. You have to maintain a zero balance in
order to do that. That would be incredibly stupid. If
you pay eighteen percent interest APR to get two percent something.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Yeah, yeah, we're still using it to make purchases.
Speaker 10 (26:46):
Were already paying like those and stuff.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
That's really smart.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
I think. So there's a little bit of a hassle.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
But well, no, the Disney card, that's just a regular
credit card. But then to buy the gift cards with that,
it's a little bit of a hassle, I suppose, because
what's the most they can they can do is it
one hundred dollars in an increment of a gift card
or how much if you want to get five hundred, oh.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
About three right, ohching dryer that broke over the weekend.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
Okay, because I thought they would only do it like
up to one hundred bucks and then you'd have to
you go to the place to buy your wash or drying.
You're handing over fifteen gift cards.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
When was the last time you were in a store.
It's been a while, gift cards don't Who am I
going to buy gift cards for?
Speaker 10 (27:36):
Because everything's more expensive now, so these gift cards have
to keep up.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
Yeah, okay, all right, pretty soon thousand dollars limit on
your gift cards.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Okay, I did see that. An interesting study.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Now, binge drinking, which is pretty much the way that
I drink. I don't drink every day, not even close,
but when I do, I tend to binge drink. And
I know the definition of binge drinking. It's really ridiculous.
It's something like, if you have more than three drinks,
that's binge drinking. Well, who goes out and drinks and
(28:11):
doesn't have more than three drinks? If you're going out
like on a Friday Saturday, you're going I mean, that's me.
That's a pretty low bar to set to call something
binge drinking. But regardless, I know they've in the past. Oh,
binge drinking is bad. It's bad for your health. It's
bad for you. Know, you do stupid decisions, You'll have
(28:34):
kidney problems, liver disease, a tongue of cancer, or you
name it.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
All comes from various things.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
So all of the negative things regarding binge drinking have
certainly been documented and discussed quite a bit. But I
did see an interesting study that followed a group of
thousands of people I believe, I want to say it
was in Norway, but it could be wrong.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
But I'm just going off of memory.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
If they followed thousands of people for a period of
eighteen years binge drink and what they determine binge drinkers
turns out, Well, let me ask you, what do you
think there's would you be more successful in life or
less successful in life if you're a binge drinker less successful?
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Common sense we're.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Telling you that, right, yeah, because you have no control
and I don't I don't know if I want somebody
with no control in my business. You can't shut it off,
you can't say no.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
Well, binge drinking is different than being a straight up alcoholic.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
Well, then you're an alcoholic, Like when you start, it's
the strangest thing. You cannot turn it off, you can't stop.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
That is true. I have a hard time turning it off.
That's true I.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
And I've realized that, and I have adjusted behavior accordingly.
So I tried to well, I don't put myself in
situations I never got a dui or anything.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
No, no, but I certainly put.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
Myself in situations where I shouldn't be driving many many
years ago, not anytime recently, but where I now. I
plan ahead and I realize, like if I'm going out,
if B two and I are going out, we're going
to go to a dinner, I need to I need
to arrange for transportation.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
That's actually not what we're talking about binge drinking. We're
talking about the amount that you the steps to not
consume it or to monitor it. Who cares about your ride?
You've always been smart about that.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
So I don't know know we're talking about this because
I do binge drink, and then once you binge drink,
you make poor decisions. So in anticipation of the poorer
decisions I'm going to make later, I try to plan
in advance so that I am taken care of. But
you would think that people who binge drink would be
(30:59):
less successful in life, right. However, this study determined that
binge drinking when you're younger, let's say in your twenties,
that that actually leads to higher income and better job prospects.
(31:19):
Not successful you are the more you binge drink in
your youth. Now, if you're sixty in binge drinking.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
When they filled that out, I mean, no.
Speaker 6 (31:29):
That shows that you're fun and you can be fun
and you're not you can let loose a little bit.
Maybe people like that instead of some stuck up nerd
just's ruining the you know, the company party or whatever.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
I'm stuck up nerd nerd just because I don't go
out to a bar and drink.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
It took half a gummy. I mean, come on, take
the other half of them?
Speaker 4 (31:50):
No, I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Why do you Why you waste it?
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Then I would waste it the other half obviously if
it happened.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
If it does nothing, why would you even eat the
other half if you don't feel anything from it?
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Because it wasn't really a half. It was kind of
like a nibble of the half.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
And what was a performative, nothing all show because I.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
Don't know what it's going to do to me. So
if it's why do you do you want to do
it in the first world, I want.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
To seem cool.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
I'm not trying to seem cool. I go to the
honest by.
Speaker 6 (32:22):
Saying I go to a dispensary to call your work
a lot to say, hey, I'm gonna go buy this,
but I better not.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Then you make a big show about doing it today.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
I didn't make a big show.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Yes you did, and.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
The okay, we'll go ahead to have some have a
half and I did I find out, but obviously you
don't try it. I'm a stuck up dor Well you
didn't really try it, No I did. You tried half
and you go, oh, it doesn't work. That didn't do anything.
Speaker 6 (32:49):
Then now it's time to do the other half, the
other half, and then you want either you feel an
effect of any kind, whether you like it or dislike it.
Then you could go, oh, this is something I like,
this is something I don't like.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
But I mean, I don't blame her for saying I
don't know how it's going to affect me, so I
don't want to do it.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
But that's totally at the beginning of the day. You don't.
You don't do the dam the day.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
That was the beginning of the day.
Speaker 6 (33:14):
No, I agree. From the beginning, you go, I don't
know that's gonna work for me.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Not for me. I don't want to do it. Yes,
what was it?
Speaker 5 (33:20):
For instance, you get on a plane and you have
a long flight or something. I've never taken.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
What is it? An ambient? Is that what the thing is?
Speaker 5 (33:27):
But you always hear the stories of people getting up
and peeing or sleepwalking and you know, peeing on their
plane seat or whatever they're doing.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
See, I've never taken an ambient.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
So the last place I would take an ambient is
if I'm gonna get on a plane or I'm gonna
you know, I have an important meeting. Let's say that
in eight hours in the morning. I go, I don't
know how that's gonna affect me. So I'm not going.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
You're gonna do not do it at all.
Speaker 6 (33:52):
But obviously Dougie, for some reason, wants to be known
as a pot person.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
I don't know what you've never been.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
I don't understand the purpose of anything. You were just
in the parking lot of a dispensary. How do I
go in there calling people? How do I go in
and buy this?
Speaker 4 (34:07):
You can?
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Why are you showing it again? So you're doing the
same thing, but you're not going.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
To do it. Oh Jesus Christ. Okay, Scott, I won't
talk about it, and.
Speaker 6 (34:15):
I've never pressured anybody. I would never pressure somebody into
doing a drug they didn't want to do. But this
is the person that ate half of it. Well, that's
how I felt, but she ate.
Speaker 9 (34:23):
I only said something because last time we did this
she ate the same amount and felt no effects. And
then I didn't want to fear pressure by saying, eat more,
but you.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
Have to eat the rest feel guilty. When we had
to break that, I was like, yeah, eat more.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
I know I don't feel go through her.
Speaker 9 (34:38):
She tried it before and it did it work, So
let's try a little bit more.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Somebody came to you and said I want to smoke weed.
I want to smoke weed. That happened to be in
high school, and then you go, Okay, it didn't work out.
Speaker 6 (34:49):
Have some weed and you hand them a joint and
you see that they don't inhale it. You'd go, well,
just so you know, you're not going to feel anything
because you didn't inhale the weed. So if you want
to feel it, you need to do it and inhal it.
But for whatever, so do you never wanted to get
high today? I don't understand this.
Speaker 5 (35:05):
It's the same reason. She uh goes to what is
the reason? The tapping of the Christmas ale thing? And
she's like, oh, it's so much fun, and she has
she has a glass of beer, but she doesn't drink it.
She just walks around with it for four hours. Charlie,
it's the same thing.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
It's the same what is whatever? You know?
Speaker 5 (35:24):
She wants to feel socially accepted and and people will
think that she's fun.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
I think is what she's.
Speaker 6 (35:32):
I will never tell you were over to take a
gummy because you've never said I want to eat a gummy.
But if you said the words I want to eat
a gummy, I'd go here.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
I was just telling a story because I told you
my friends are always having fun when they do it,
feel like you should try it, and I have done one.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Why don't you try it?
Speaker 4 (35:49):
I did want to the Atlantis when we were all together.
I did it a couple of times there and that
was fun.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
But then you did did you do enough where you
felt something?
Speaker 4 (35:58):
Oh? Yeah, that was fun?
Speaker 1 (35:59):
What did you and it has smoke? Did you eat?
You had a gummy? How much was it? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
MILLI my best friend's husband that would say.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
You don't know. All right, where all this is going on.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
In the pool? Where is this Atlantis?
Speaker 6 (36:15):
Is that out of the country from us? You were
you moved weed? I didn't, but okay, I'm not judging
that scares me any of that flying out of the country.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Gummy.
Speaker 9 (36:30):
Yeah, they start.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
It's a different countries, even though it's legal in Jamaica, America.
That's how they do.
Speaker 6 (36:45):
You remember getting out of the airport at Jamaica and
at the airport there's dudes coming up going you want
to joint, you want to joint, and you're like, luckily
I was warned, don't buy it from them because those
are all undercover cops trying to bust you.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Immediately. Fact think they just say that it people did
not do it. I'm not risking I'll anyway.
Speaker 5 (37:07):
So this study about binge drinking, which is sort of counterintuitive, counterintuitive,
it says that people who youngsters these start drinking. I
guess probably there. It's legal to start drinking at the
age of eighteen. So if you drink, binge drink when
you're eighteen, nineteen twenty up through like your twenties, you
(37:30):
are more successful, You have a better job, and you
make more money. Now why would that be because you
would think, oh man, you binge drink and you are
are not going to be able to show up to
work the next day, or whatever the case may be.
But they basically attribute it to the idea that alcohol
advances your career because it breaks down social inhibitions and
(37:55):
it reduces awkwardness where you're a little unsure of yourself,
and then you become more open to meeting people experiencing things.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
This, frankly is why I drink out and really the
only reason. I think.
Speaker 6 (38:10):
It's also key it forms connections with people, and that's
the only way to move ahead.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Remember that time we were so loaded last week?
Speaker 6 (38:19):
You know, it's the only way to move ahead ever,
is through who you know. That's literally that's it. Nobody
cares about your performance as much. It's a big work
ethic here, none, no, no, I'll none of that is important.
It's who you know and if they like you and
if you're out with the boss drinking, he's going to
remember you a lot more than the guy that went
home and read it for work.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
So that that's it's your connections. I think that can
cause it.
Speaker 5 (38:43):
And I think that these you know, this study probably
I don't know if they're really drinking or if they
say you should drink with your.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Boss, but they're saying that.
Speaker 5 (38:51):
Just you know, as you're in your early twenties the
beginnings of your career, the more you go out and
drink and binge drink, the more people you will network
with who then potentially could become a boss or potentially
could be somebody to help you out a career wise
later provide a connection. Oh yeah, I know that guy
(39:12):
can help you get a job there, or whatever the
case may be. So they high now they do say,
you still have all the problems livered you name it.
You know, people are dropping dead of all these things.
But when it comes to your job success, binge drinking
is a recipe for success.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
I sort of agree with you. I sort of agree
with that. Now's nothing being said in practice.
Speaker 6 (39:38):
In theory, uh, in practice, I would be the CEO
of iHeart then and everybody I would know it would
be in the fortune five hundred, which is not true.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
None of this is happening.
Speaker 5 (39:49):
And like all of you, your friends, all the guys
in the r V group would really be like the
Jeff Bezos, the Elon Musk, the Sam Altman's and but
it's not happened.
Speaker 6 (40:02):
No, we're definitely not So I don't know how true.
This is just based off of literally every person I know.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
I think maybe.
Speaker 5 (40:11):
Perhaps what you have to do, and I don't know
if this study bears this out, but Charlie, they talk
about binge drinking from the time you turn eighteen through
your twenties. Maybe you have to taper off in your
mid to late twenties and stop the binge drinking and
become a little more mature. That may be where you
(40:32):
and your friends have gone wrong. You're chasing the binge
drink success.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
You keep at it.
Speaker 5 (40:38):
I give you a credit for trying every weekend, but
it hasn't worked out.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
It'll pay off eventually, It'll all way out, YEP. I
have faith.
Speaker 5 (40:50):
Well, that's the study was quite big and they say
that it does help you out. Now here's somebody who
says alcoholics are totally a holes quit promoting it. I'm
not promoting being an alcoholic. I'm just telling you, binge drinking,
I don't think that makes you an alcoholic. They really,
for whatever reason, have been tried to expand the definition
(41:14):
of being an alcoholic.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Drinking is anything.
Speaker 6 (41:17):
If you if you ever drink more and you get
drunker than point eight percent, which is the legal limit
for driving, that's everything.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
That's two drinks.
Speaker 9 (41:28):
Well, it just reminds me of girls who binge and purge.
They don't eat all the time like that. They'll all
of a sudden eat like a muck bang and then
they'll you know, yeah, like I would say, binge drinking,
you're not doing it all the time. You're doing it
once in a while. It's not a every day you're
drinking that heavily. It might be one day at the
weekend you binge drink, not a.
Speaker 5 (41:48):
If you were doing it every day. I go, okay,
that's an alcoholic. But if you're if every time you drink,
you binge drink, but you're only drinking once a week
or every other week or whatever. Like when I was younger,
that was Friday night and Saturday night and occasional Sunday
(42:08):
I mean binge drinking was that's how you did it,
and then I wouldn't I had to wake up early
in the morning during you know, during the week. But
on a Friday and Saturday you were drinking ten twelve drinks.
You were binge drinking every night. But would I say
that I was an alcoholic?
Speaker 1 (42:24):
I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (42:25):
I mean groups, yeah, I know they all well I
don't know about the law, but you know, according to
the support groups that want, you know, who need more
alcoholics to keep going, they would define that as being
an alcoholic.
Speaker 1 (42:39):
Which is college kids.
Speaker 9 (42:41):
That's what college kids do every weekend, go out, party hard,
and then start your week again on Monday.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
Yeah, of course if usually when was the last time
you were drunk?
Speaker 11 (42:52):
Ah?
Speaker 1 (42:54):
Buzzed? Or I don't dronk?
Speaker 4 (42:59):
I can't. I mean, I honestly can't tell you drunk
like drunk where I thought I was going to vomit?
Speaker 1 (43:06):
No no, no, no that, but you could it could happen.
I mean, you live with her and have you ever
seen her drunk?
Speaker 7 (43:19):
Not?
Speaker 1 (43:20):
You know, not what I would consider drunk. Like when
I get drunk, I go what happened last night?
Speaker 4 (43:25):
Oh, I don't do I have never blacked out.
Speaker 1 (43:27):
I did no I.
Speaker 4 (43:30):
In college, and I never did it again after that.
Speaker 1 (43:34):
I did see her one time. I believe it was
a New Year's Eve.
Speaker 5 (43:40):
In Los Angeles, so probably around nineteen, I don't know,
two thousand or somewhere around whatever year. I don't know
when the hell that was two thousand and one something,
I don't know. I do remember her being pretty buzzed.
But that's the last time I've ever seen it. I
mean that was Seriously, it's twenty fty five years. Yeah, yeah,
(44:04):
so all these times if she's out, oh I had
a few drinks.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
Oh, I drink glasses of wine at home.
Speaker 4 (44:09):
I do drink wine at home.
Speaker 1 (44:11):
It's a problem. It is, tell me off air, it's
a problem. Now I need to cut down.
Speaker 4 (44:15):
I feel bad.
Speaker 1 (44:17):
Uh, I've got to take a break.
Speaker 5 (44:18):
Our number is eight sixty six, you know, Rover eight
sixty six nine sixty seven six eight three seven. Valerie,
you're on Rover's Morning Glory. We're going to get to
the Shizzy in a few minutes, but first go ahead.
Speaker 12 (44:28):
Valerie, Hey, good morning. I just had an alternate theory
about the binge drinking study. I think when you're looking
at things like this, you have to take into consideration
the causation and the way at least that it sounds
like the study is presenting it is that the binge
drinking is causing the success, when I think it's probably
(44:50):
the success that's causing the binge drinking. And what I
mean by that is that they're they're these successful young people.
They probably have these very stressful jobs. They're working sixty
hours a week, and then they're going in binge drinking
on the weekend. So it's the job that's causing the drinking,
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (45:04):
And they have money to.
Speaker 5 (45:05):
Burn because they are successful, so they can pay for
the binge drinking. And then a guy who works a
menial job at a gas station, minimum wage or whatever,
he doesn't have the available funds to go out and
do that, so he doesn't binge drink. Therefore, the study
doesn't accurately reflect you know. Okay, so you're all right.
(45:28):
They're not saying it's causation. They are just saying there
is a correlation between binge drinking and success in your career. Now,
it probably doesn't cause it, but there's something there's a
very very strong correlation, and they said, it's definitely statistically
significant worth looking into. But Valerie may be right. They
(45:50):
also point out to some things like they have a
in this study. They were talking about a like a
some fancy university where maybe in England, Oxford University or something,
and they have this all male drinking club and they're like, yeah,
those people have turned out to be prime ministers and
presidents and stuff like that. Well, yeah, they're at a
(46:11):
super rich school that they're going to or whatever, and
they probably come from the families that have been around
for a thousand years and they happy to like to drink.
Speaker 1 (46:22):
It's not the.
Speaker 5 (46:22):
Drinking isn't causing their success, it's being who they are. Brandon,
you're on Rover's Morning, Gloria Born and Brandon.
Speaker 1 (46:32):
Hey, Rover.
Speaker 8 (46:36):
So, I am five years sober myself, but I went,
but I would consider myself I was a thing shrinker.
But it's uh, you know, I did my AA and
everything and I actually learned a lot about all different
kinds of alcoholics out there. Yeah, behind I have to itch.
(47:00):
You have the kinds that they are, the binges. You
have the kinds that are you know, the binges would
be like a little bit more frequent, and I like, oh,
I got nothing else to do, I want to go
a drink. Oh I'm bored, I drink. I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (47:15):
See.
Speaker 5 (47:15):
I never really felt that I was never drink. It
was more you know, you guys know how introverted I
and it gets me out of you.
Speaker 8 (47:27):
Yourself a social drinker, and you know socially you would
go and plan your drinks. Now Ben's drinker would be like,
I think I could do one, but after you have
that one, you can't stop. Now that is what the
beings drinking alcoholic tendency would.
Speaker 1 (47:45):
Come in effect.
Speaker 5 (47:47):
Well and congratulations on well, I have to take a break,
but congratulations five years being so where that's an accomplishment
and hopefully everything is going better for you now Brandon,
thank you. I've got to take a break. Eight six
six year Rover. We do have the Shizzy coming up.
In just a moment, the news will be right back.
Speaker 1 (48:06):
Hang on
Be worried.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Make sure that you have looked at you''t realize that.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Now back you're rovers Morning Glory.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
See shus he is coming up in just a few minutes.

the screen at you really huge.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Well, I got news for you. This is the change
that Middle America has been asking for. You're going to
be so excited. I'll tell you what that changes next.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
All right, we'll get to that in just a moment.
Here's someone who says Scott is the man for the job.
You can talk to anyone about anything. He loves the
city and he has a great gift of informing and entertaining.
This is the guy that's allegedly standing outside with a sign,
(01:16):
although no one has seen him.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I'm not sure you might be outside the wrong place
where Just.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Really fine, We're good. We have a show to do.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
Ice squid there all right, Dugi, are you ready for
the shoes?
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I am here we go, shy, I'll roll this Morning
Glory today is Veterans Day. Just a reminder. Today some
of the banks and post offices, of course we told
you yesterday, they are closed and this is the day
to honor anyone that has helped serve or serve or
(01:59):
currently So Veterans Day. You might have some kids are
in school, but you might have some banks and some
the post office will not be running.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
Does that always fall on a different day of the week,
or is it always a Tuesday?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Or I don't know, that was a Monday, but I
guess I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Anyway, all right, Elsewhere, we have the president calling on
the nation's air traffics.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Different days, different days, okay, but always the same day
of the month, always the eleventh.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yes, better day was also known as Armistice Day because
that was that marked the end of World War One
in nineteen eighteen.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Okay, thank you.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
The President is calling on the nation's air traffic controllers
to return to work immediately. Flight delays, the cancelations continue
to pile up across the country. I have two different
sets of families who have kids in college and they
are heading driving ones driving like nine hours. Another one's
(02:59):
driving to Chicago to go pick up their kid and
then coming back because.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
I'm faster than flying. Yeah, they're just waiting at the airport, right. Yeah,
you have to really I did see you have to.
What's the quote? Because it is.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Paragraph a quote.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
I didn't know that there was a quote.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
I'll get point.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
You can pull up.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I have it here, Okay, here read it. You don't, Okay,
I have it, I have it.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
I just you said here, Oh.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
No, here, No, here's here's the quote. Here's there. You go, rover.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
All air traffic controllers must get back to work now
in all caps. Anyone who doesn't will be substantially docked.
For those air traffic controllers who were great patriots and
didn't take any time off for the Democrat shutdown hoax,
I will pee.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Reck what what is that hoax?
Speaker 5 (03:55):
I will be recommending a bonus of ten thousand dollars
per person for distinguished service to our country. For those
that did nothing but complain and took time off even
though everyone knew they would be paid in full shortly
into the future. I am not happy with you. You
didn't step up to help the USA against a fake
(04:15):
Democrat attack that was only meant to hurt our country.
You will have a negative mark, at least in my mind,
against your record now and then it goes on.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I that's as far as I got one hour of
read more Rover.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
If you want some loaders service in the near future,
please do not hesitate to do so with no payment
or severance of any kind. You'll be quickly replaced by
true patriots who will do a better job, a job
they're not getting paid for, by the way.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Just they'll do a grand new, state of the art equipment,
which we don't have yet, the best in the world
that we are in the process of ordering. Okay, the
last administration wasted billions of dollars trying to fix antiquated junk.
They had no idea what they were doing. Why he
didn't do this in his first administration fix all of
(05:02):
these problems. But anyways, regardless, So here's what I think
about that. I think that is incredibly out of touch
with the way that many people live their lives. And
to say, well, you knew you're going to be paid
in full, you just keep showing up to work for
(05:23):
free and you're not actually collecting a paycheck. So let's
say that the government shut down ends. Let's say we're
to end today which I don't think it is. But
let's just say that it's not like you would get
paid today or tomorrow. They then have to process things
and do direct deposits or pay per checks or whatever
(05:44):
you're set up.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I mean, this is a thing.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
So by the time that you get paid, you're going
for over a month, month and a half or something,
maybe two months without getting a paycheck.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Now you're not a patriot if I can get it.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
When you are a billionaire and you know everything that
you touch is coded in gold. But most people don't
live that way. Most people they need a paycheck. And
and yeah, are people if they're just calling out sick
to protest or whatever, yeah, that's that's not right. But
but there many of these people who were calling off
(06:22):
sick to their jobs, their government jobs, were calling off
six so they could go drive an uber or earn
cash some way. That's what they had to do in
order to put food on the table. So I just
I think it's out of touch when you say that,
why didn't you continue to show up to work. It's
(06:43):
just not realistic for people to go two months without
getting a paycheck. That being said, you know, the the
ending of the government shut down. We'll see how long
it takes to actually end this shutdown. But what did
you accomplish over alreaty plus days of a government show?
Speaker 6 (07:01):
More important was accomplished? But more important than that, what
about the ten thousand dollars?
Speaker 4 (07:08):
He's like, let's go back to the ten thousand. Is
that happen?
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Laura Ingram actually asked him and goes, hey, we're gonna
give these people ten thousand dollars right after their terror,
which there.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Were a lot of them.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
I'm sending them a ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Where's that money coming from?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I don't know. I'll get it from someplace.
Speaker 7 (07:25):
I'll get it from I always get the money from
someplace regardless, it doesn't matter. We did a lot of
I do a lot of bonuses with people because it's
really something that it's like the American way when you
think about it.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
All right, So we'll get the money from somewhere.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
It would either come from taxpayers, or it would come
from some company that wants to do a big merger
and they need to curry favor with the administration because
it was a big merger, would probably be denied.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Oh yeah, yeah, we'll step up. We'll pay for.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Those bonuses and then boom, oh well it's a miracle
our merger was approved.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
That's what, you know, one of those two scenarios. When
do you think they'll get.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
That right after their tariff check and their doze check.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Probably they might never get.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
This ten thousand dollars. Will we ever hear about this
ten thousand dollars?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Again? Probably not, would be my guess.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
But anything's this is a little bit different because these
are people, you know, this is not like some pie
in the sky thing.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
We're getting tariff checks. We're getting those checks. This is
actually promised to people who are.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
You know, I don't know how many of them have continued,
didn't miss a day at work. Let's you say five
thousand air traffic controllers. Those five thousand people, I think
have a legitimate claim if they never get that ten
thousand dollars to say, hey, hold on, we were promised
to ten thousand dollars bonus in the midst of this.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
So five fifty million dollars, who's gonna pay that? Trump
he's a billionaire. He could pay that out of his
own pocket, like he's paying for the ballroom.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
Oh wait, but you know, you get my you catch
my II grafted all right, go on.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
So with the shutdown, even though that they're still trying
to figure everything out, all of this with air travel,
it could leave us in a bind and a kind
of like a choke hold for months and maybe even
a year. So this could take such because we're not
out of the woods yet. Until the deal is officially linked,
(09:22):
airlines must continue to follow the FAA's emergency order to
reduce the flight capacity at forty major US airports. So
that's what they're saying that this could take quite some
time to get back up and running, all right. The
Supreme Court said yesterday that they will not reconsider their
landmark twenty fifteen ruling that established the constitutional right to
(09:44):
same sex marriage. They rejected the appeal from all.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
That means is this from that county clerk that wanted
to who refused to married four times? Yeah, yeah, so
she was married four times, but to a man, not
a not a woman four times, three different guys. So
at some point she got remarried to the same guy.
She she had the you know, but very sacred i'll
(10:14):
end up. So then that means that it's the established
law of the land. I mean they already ruled on it,
but now they've sort of reinforced that to say you
you can have same sex marriage.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Go on one last president's story, he asked the US
Supreme Court to review the five million dollar civil case
that found he sexually abused and defamed the magazine columnist
Egene Carol. So he has asked the Supreme Court if
they could, can you just get rid of that and
toss that. We'll see if that happened.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Ryan says, air traffic controllers make an average of one
hundred and forty five thousand dollars a year if they
live paycheck to paycheck. That's a problem, is it if
you have three kids and your wife stays home to
take care of the kids, because you see, you're not
paying day. I mean, it's expensive. I just I'm telling you,
I don't think most people. We've seen these statistics on
(11:08):
what people have in savings, and it's a problem. I
admit that many people don't save properly. They're not thinking
of the future or what if, or you know what,
an unexpected thing like a government shut down or a
a ti rod replacement or whatever the case may be.
(11:31):
People don't anticipately, you know, they should, but we've seen
statistics most people don't.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
And I just had this, Yeah, I just had this happen.
I my dryer has been on the fritz. I got
this washer and dryer in two thousand and nine, so
she's been pretty good to me all these years. And
I just waited and waited, and then the last month,
I've used a screwdriver to hit the power button on
the washer because it was like everything wasn't working anymore.
(12:02):
So on Saturday took a crap. I had to go
to Low's Look and Shop. Everything is so expensive. I
like to think I saved some money. Fifteen hundred dollars later,
you're still like, oh my god, I don't have any money.
You know, you just get scared because the set or
washer and dryer fade.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Now, what was wrong with it? Wait?
Speaker 4 (12:23):
What was wrong?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
The button was wrong or.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
So the power it wasn't working sometimes and it was working,
so there were a couple of buttons that weren't turning,
or it would go unlocked and you couldn't get it out.
You had to reset everything. It just was a mess.
And it's just how many years is that?
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Yeah, you might have been able to repair it, but
you have had those for a long time, so maybe
it's maybe you were due.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Now.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
I did get a phone call from Douji over the weekend.
Oh tell me more. It wasn't asking for fifteen hundred dollars, thankfully, surprisingly,
it was oh no, kind of do I have gas
or electric? I don't know how am I supposed to know?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Because you're a kind of dryer you have in your house?
How would I know that?
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Because when I moved into the house, you bought me that.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah. Oh nice of me.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
Huh, well, wait, you gave her so much money and
you were buying her appliances.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
You bought me a washer on dryer because he knew
he couldn't have the show without me, and I was
going to leave to go back on the Chicago.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Wow. Just want to be real, Why why did you?
Speaker 8 (13:33):
Well?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
And I will say so two things.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I don't even remember this.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
I've definitely never bought a girlfriend a washer dryer, yeah,
or anything.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Had to have a way for her to wash the
onesis of my daughter, right, yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Real quick? Because so the first thing I found the set,
which is cheaper than the one that he bought me
in two thousand and nine. When you bought me that.
That was really nice. Back then it was expensive.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
What I do you know? What do you mean? You
said you've found the set? How do you know how much.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
It was, the brand and what it was. And it
was a frontloaders. Those are more expensive and they had
You're like, you got to get the stool to raise
it so you're not bending down, so like okay, so
that back in two thousand and nine was really excuse
we use the stool. I got rid of them.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Now they probably come as a set. They change those out.
They get you on that.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I don't know what the stool is. It's a drawloading washer. Yeah.
Otherwise they're too low.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
They're on their ground level and they have to bend
down and break your bag. So they put a so
he knows. They sell you for a few hundred dollars each.
They sell you a head of stal to put your
washer and dryer on to raise them up.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yep, so it's a scam. Can you just put anything
under it?
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Well?
Speaker 4 (14:49):
I bought the cheaper ones and they're very small because
they're on the floor, which is and I do bend
down to get out. It's I don't have the fancy
top loader. I have none of them.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
The top loaders not fancy, but is the fancy one
and they don't.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Work as good.
Speaker 9 (15:04):
Yeah, you want the top loader with the agitator in
the middle. You want the washer, not talking washer, fucking dryer.
The agitator is in the washer.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Yeah, but you said you don't have a top loader.
What are you talking about your washer?
Speaker 4 (15:17):
You have a front loader.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Front loaders. It's really simple to tell, which is why
you have front It's in the front on the top.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
Yeah, top that's those are the ones that actually work better,
all the front loaders.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Yeah, but the front loaders are so expensive anyway, that.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Front loaders you have to keep the seal moist so
that seal is probably so it doesn't leak. That I
prefer the top loading washing machines, and what the high
efficiency wants.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Not high efficiency those are those suck Those Those are
the ones that don't They don't set up as much.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
But anyway, so, yes, what were you going to say?
Speaker 4 (15:52):
My friend said, oh, don't go and buy that at
the store. Go to get go, get the fuel parks,
and get the extra credit. When you buy gift cards
at that particular store, you get all of these credits.
So at least you're making money off of having to
bite it and get a laundry room.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
So you're grocery, go to the gas station and you
buy gift cards.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Well, this is a Jeffrey move.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
This smart fine.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
I bought in gift cards and gift cards and then
you go spend How do you pay those?
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Do you have to like spread out like a like
a poker hand with all of your gift cards?
Speaker 4 (16:34):
I did, Actually it was I bought three five hundred
dollars ones And he's then.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
What do you get for your as a result of that?
What bonus do you get?
Speaker 4 (16:44):
You get fuel parks which can take money off of
your gas tank. And you can also get or choose
this well filling up the guest tank, or you can
choose the money that's in your account for to take away.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
From your Don't you know when you're at the grocery store,
Rover pop up will say, hey, you have all these
perks you want, like your grocery bill. After you spent
that amount, it might be free. Might go, hey, you
get free groceries today.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
I have thirty three dollars in my account now before
I bought the gift cards. That says Hey, do you
want to use this on your And I'm saving up
so I can use it for Thanksgiving, but it'll pay
for your whole bill.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Why did you bring all this up.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Emergency oh, emergency.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Money, emergency money fond.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
No, because I said, in the middle of all of that,
I save and I had to spend fifteen hundred dollars
and that still hurts. So imagine if you're with the FAA,
and you were, they're saying you've got to go back
to work.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Well, if you're not getting paid bills continue, Yeah, I mean,
I just don't even if somebody's making one hundred and
forty five thousand dollars a year, they still have a mortgage,
they still have a car or two car payments, they
still have, you know, everything that they're paying for. So
I'm just telling you a lot of people don't have
the money too. They should, it's the smart thing to do,
(18:00):
but they don't have an emergency fund to just go
months without a paycheck. Jerry says, I like how Jeffery
has a preference for washer and dryer. Yeah, he turns
them down, doesn't even own one. We offered to give
him a free washer and dryer. It was a topload.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Don't like it? Yeah, I know it was a toploader.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
Every time I had a place like a garage sale
or anything.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
There's always a washing dryer for sale.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
I always send him over to Jeffery and go, Jeffrey,
you got one right here, go you just pick it
up today.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
It's like fifty bucks for the set. Never, I'd never
hear back.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
From him what he should have.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
I see him all the time, and I know that
he can see them all the time too, because he
was going to those flea markets.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
They're everywhere if you're willing.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
He has in his apartment building, he has a space
in the in the basement for a washer and dryer,
which is interesting because when he moved in, there was
a washer and dryer there, and then one of his
neighbors just said, that's mine.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
It left. It took me. It was the previous stay
that came back and took it. Yeah. I don't know
about it, okay.
Speaker 10 (19:01):
It no, you said somebody else from another apartment gap.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah. Yeah, And they claimed that it was theirs through
some sort.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
Of I just wasn't ou in the mood to fight
over he was gonna argue about it because it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Really when you moved in, they said, that's your washer
and dryer? Right?
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Did could he use it? Was left by the previous tenant.
And then in sub mady another building claimed it. I
was like two tiers in a two tiers in a bucket.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Chuck it.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
No, nobody, you don't go to your landlord and say,
wait a second, hold on, when I moved in, you
said I have a washer and dryer.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
What happened?
Speaker 2 (19:28):
All I know, all I remember was that that one
of the other neighbors has claimed to us like I
just wasn't.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I'm not a confrontational type of person.
Speaker 6 (19:35):
That's like, so you could just go to Jeffrey's house
and just take anything want mine, and he'll just he's
not going to confront you.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
All right, I'm out, all right.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
So this is how I need to buy make big
purchases in the future. I have to convert all of
my cash into gift cards so that then and then
take those to the store and now I will have
fuel perks, big bucks.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
If I'm my friends, my friends in the trades do
this all the time.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
Go go to the grocery store, go get a bunch
of home depot gift cards, buy all that. Then they
then they go buy all this stuff they have. You know,
an electrician, he goes and buys all of his wires,
whatever he needs for the job, and then he it
just now he has all those perks and then he
gets free gas because of it.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Now, what about if you can you also double up
on not on the perks, but if I buy those
gift cards with a credit card that gives me cash.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Back or something like that.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
Now oh oh, now you're really say, oh, I might
have to get in on this my Disney card.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
What's your what's your Disney? What does your Disney card
give you?
Speaker 5 (20:38):
So, like, the more you spend, the more free passes
the Disney you get.
Speaker 10 (20:42):
I get the money, and then I'm going to use
that for my Disney vacations.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
Oh is this not you're just saying you're you personally
are using this for Disney. It's a Disney card.
Speaker 8 (20:50):
It is.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Okay, did you get on the plane?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
No?
Speaker 10 (20:53):
No, I'm sorry, No no, no they didn't. We've got
it later, I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (20:56):
But so then it gives you Disney just give you
actual money or like Disney money that can be us Disney.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Well that's Yeah, that's what we're using it for.
Speaker 10 (21:04):
Is for for that, Okay, but yeah, we buy it,
we pay our bills with it and everything, and then
I just use my regular bank to pay that off.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
I was gonna pay it anyway.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Points good points man over here, all right, And finally.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
With this real quick the story that I tease, big
changes are on their way for Dick Clark's New Year's
Rock and Eve, the long running countdown broadcast, which of
course is hosted by the very lovely Ryan Seacrest. They're
adding something that viewers have apparently been asking for decades.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
For the first time the new house, right.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Uh No, For the first time in over fifty years,
Rock and Eve will include a Central time zone countdown celebration,
So they're going to add a team in Chicago. Details
on who will host the Chicago Countdown are still fourth condtion.
My vote is John Cusack for him to do. He'd
be great on the Countdown because it's so personable.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Is I think it's I think it's Dick Clark with
Ryan Seacrest.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Somebody did a deal with a tourism deal with I
think it's Puerto Rico and it's the most annoying thing
on New Year's Eve that they have this host in
Puerto Rico. It's the same woman every year, and this
is all paid for by the Puerto Rican Tourism Board
and that's why they do it.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
They have a ball drop or whatever they have in Puerto.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Rico and they have this woman who was just, I mean,
just a horrendous hosting this New Year's Eve thing and
they so they count down, so this is like an
hour before the ball drops in New York and they
do this big thing in Puerto Rico and oh man,
it's really annoying.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
So now they're adding Chicago. Yep.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
I wonder if this is paid for by like the
Chicago Tourism Board or something, because I know Puerto Rico
is absolutely paid for. It's a it's.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
A mess, it's a disaster.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
But anyway, yeah, they might. It'll be interesting to see
who's going to host it. I don't know, I don't know.
What I don't want.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Isn't he from Chicago.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
It might be a little persona non grata though, Ryan Seacrest,
Kanye Kanye.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Oh, there's no way, Disney, No, I know, is that
a joke?
Speaker 6 (23:14):
Yeah, Okay, I don't think they're gonna have the Nazi guy.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
You guys, that would work.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
We're not having the ball drop.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
We're throwing Jews into the fire for a New Year's
I mean, come.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
On, that's s is the rovers warning Glory. There's a
place where.
Speaker 11 (23:28):
The orange content flows like water and the streets are
paved with skid mark? Is it Heaven?
Speaker 1 (23:36):
No, It's better. It's Range plus.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
Sign up now at roverradio dot com.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Speaking of Kanye, I did see. I just saw a
headline and a picture. He is seeking forgiveness. He met
with a rabbi and he's like, hey, I I apologize
for the all the anti Jew rhetoric over the past
few years.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Please offer me forgiveness.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
And I was like, oh, all right, that's a very
mature thing, probably too a little too late. But then
I didn't read the whole article once I got to
the part where it started talking about the rabbi, because
I'm like, oh, it's like it's like this guy with
the beard, you know, like the whole thing, this guy
right here, And I'm like, oh man, this is a you.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Know, very serious and this is a very religious.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Well whoever this rabbi is, he spent time I believe
in federal prison for some sort of shenanigans. There's some
sort of weird stuff going on with the rabbi, and
I'm like, oh my god, you can't just have like
a normal thing where you go and you ask for
forgiveness or whatever. It's always got to be from a
scammer or a fraudst or something some weird agenda going
(24:52):
on here.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
I thought, I know, you have to seek a break.
I thought that was AI generated when I saw it.
I didn't think that was a real picture.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Yeah, it's real, I guess. And I don't know.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Is the old guy the person who spent time in
prison or this other guy in the middle. Like the
old guy, You're like, the guy's a thousand years old
in one of those weird robes that looks like a
wizard with all the gold trim and stuff. I mean,
he looks like out of a movie or something. Then
you have the guy in the middle. Was he the
one that spent time in prison? I don't know, But
(25:21):
Kanye is always surrounded by people who just seem to
be a little, a little off. I've got to take
a quick break. We'll be right back on rovers morning, Glory.
Speaker 11 (25:31):
Hang on now, back to the show.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Garbage van access.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
That's old news. Kanye met with that rabbi last week.
Well I didn't say it was today, Yeah, I said,
I saw, Yeah, it was a.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Few days ago.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
And here's somebody who says Oliver says eighteen percent interest,
that's the lowest listed on.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
I think Disney card for.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
Two percent fuel Park perks talk about dumb.
Speaker 10 (26:26):
We don't pay interest, pay dockery month exactly.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
It doesn't make sense if you don't pay off the
credit card. You have to maintain a zero balance in
order to do that. That would be incredibly stupid. If
you pay eighteen percent interest APR to get two percent something.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Yeah, yeah, we're still using it to make purchases.
Speaker 10 (26:46):
Were already paying like those and stuff.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
That's really smart.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
I think. So there's a little bit of a hassle.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
But well, no, the Disney card, that's just a regular
credit card. But then to buy the gift cards with that,
it's a little bit of a hassle, I suppose, because
what's the most they can they can do is it
one hundred dollars in an increment of a gift card
or how much if you want to get five hundred, oh.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
About three right, ohching dryer that broke over the weekend.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
Okay, because I thought they would only do it like
up to one hundred bucks and then you'd have to
you go to the place to buy your wash or drying.
You're handing over fifteen gift cards.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
When was the last time you were in a store.
It's been a while, gift cards don't Who am I
going to buy gift cards for?
Speaker 10 (27:36):
Because everything's more expensive now, so these gift cards have
to keep up.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
Yeah, okay, all right, pretty soon thousand dollars limit on
your gift cards.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Okay, I did see that. An interesting study.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Now, binge drinking, which is pretty much the way that
I drink. I don't drink every day, not even close,
but when I do, I tend to binge drink. And
I know the definition of binge drinking. It's really ridiculous.
It's something like, if you have more than three drinks,
that's binge drinking. Well, who goes out and drinks and
(28:11):
doesn't have more than three drinks? If you're going out
like on a Friday Saturday, you're going I mean, that's me.
That's a pretty low bar to set to call something
binge drinking. But regardless, I know they've in the past. Oh,
binge drinking is bad. It's bad for your health. It's
bad for you. Know, you do stupid decisions, You'll have
(28:34):
kidney problems, liver disease, a tongue of cancer, or you
name it.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
All comes from various things.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
So all of the negative things regarding binge drinking have
certainly been documented and discussed quite a bit. But I
did see an interesting study that followed a group of
thousands of people I believe, I want to say it
was in Norway, but it could be wrong.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
But I'm just going off of memory.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
If they followed thousands of people for a period of
eighteen years binge drink and what they determine binge drinkers
turns out, Well, let me ask you, what do you
think there's would you be more successful in life or
less successful in life if you're a binge drinker less successful?
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Common sense we're.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Telling you that, right, yeah, because you have no control
and I don't I don't know if I want somebody
with no control in my business. You can't shut it off,
you can't say no.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
Well, binge drinking is different than being a straight up alcoholic.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
Well, then you're an alcoholic, Like when you start, it's
the strangest thing. You cannot turn it off, you can't stop.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
That is true. I have a hard time turning it off.
That's true I.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
And I've realized that, and I have adjusted behavior accordingly.
So I tried to well, I don't put myself in
situations I never got a dui or anything.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
No, no, but I certainly put.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
Myself in situations where I shouldn't be driving many many
years ago, not anytime recently, but where I now. I
plan ahead and I realize, like if I'm going out,
if B two and I are going out, we're going
to go to a dinner, I need to I need
to arrange for transportation.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
That's actually not what we're talking about binge drinking. We're
talking about the amount that you the steps to not
consume it or to monitor it. Who cares about your ride?
You've always been smart about that.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
So I don't know know we're talking about this because
I do binge drink, and then once you binge drink,
you make poor decisions. So in anticipation of the poorer
decisions I'm going to make later, I try to plan
in advance so that I am taken care of. But
you would think that people who binge drink would be
(30:59):
less successful in life, right. However, this study determined that
binge drinking when you're younger, let's say in your twenties,
that that actually leads to higher income and better job prospects.
(31:19):
Not successful you are the more you binge drink in
your youth. Now, if you're sixty in binge drinking.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
When they filled that out, I mean, no.
Speaker 6 (31:29):
That shows that you're fun and you can be fun
and you're not you can let loose a little bit.
Maybe people like that instead of some stuck up nerd
just's ruining the you know, the company party or whatever.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
I'm stuck up nerd nerd just because I don't go
out to a bar and drink.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
It took half a gummy. I mean, come on, take
the other half of them?
Speaker 4 (31:50):
No, I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Why do you Why you waste it?
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Then I would waste it the other half obviously if
it happened.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
If it does nothing, why would you even eat the
other half if you don't feel anything from it?
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Because it wasn't really a half. It was kind of
like a nibble of the half.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
And what was a performative, nothing all show because I.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
Don't know what it's going to do to me. So
if it's why do you do you want to do
it in the first world, I want.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
To seem cool.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
I'm not trying to seem cool. I go to the
honest by.
Speaker 6 (32:22):
Saying I go to a dispensary to call your work
a lot to say, hey, I'm gonna go buy this,
but I better not.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Then you make a big show about doing it today.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
I didn't make a big show.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Yes you did, and.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
The okay, we'll go ahead to have some have a
half and I did I find out, but obviously you
don't try it. I'm a stuck up dor Well you
didn't really try it, No I did. You tried half
and you go, oh, it doesn't work. That didn't do anything.
Speaker 6 (32:49):
Then now it's time to do the other half, the
other half, and then you want either you feel an
effect of any kind, whether you like it or dislike it.
Then you could go, oh, this is something I like,
this is something I don't like.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
But I mean, I don't blame her for saying I
don't know how it's going to affect me, so I
don't want to do it.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
But that's totally at the beginning of the day. You don't.
You don't do the dam the day.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
That was the beginning of the day.
Speaker 6 (33:14):
No, I agree. From the beginning, you go, I don't
know that's gonna work for me.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Not for me. I don't want to do it. Yes,
what was it?
Speaker 5 (33:20):
For instance, you get on a plane and you have
a long flight or something. I've never taken.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
What is it? An ambient? Is that what the thing is?
Speaker 5 (33:27):
But you always hear the stories of people getting up
and peeing or sleepwalking and you know, peeing on their
plane seat or whatever they're doing.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
See, I've never taken an ambient.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
So the last place I would take an ambient is
if I'm gonna get on a plane or I'm gonna
you know, I have an important meeting. Let's say that
in eight hours in the morning. I go, I don't
know how that's gonna affect me. So I'm not going.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
You're gonna do not do it at all.
Speaker 6 (33:52):
But obviously Dougie, for some reason, wants to be known
as a pot person.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
I don't know what you've never been.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
I don't understand the purpose of anything. You were just
in the parking lot of a dispensary. How do I
go in there calling people? How do I go in
and buy this?
Speaker 4 (34:07):
You can?
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Why are you showing it again? So you're doing the
same thing, but you're not going.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
To do it. Oh Jesus Christ. Okay, Scott, I won't
talk about it, and.
Speaker 6 (34:15):
I've never pressured anybody. I would never pressure somebody into
doing a drug they didn't want to do. But this
is the person that ate half of it. Well, that's
how I felt, but she ate.
Speaker 9 (34:23):
I only said something because last time we did this
she ate the same amount and felt no effects. And
then I didn't want to fear pressure by saying, eat more,
but you.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
Have to eat the rest feel guilty. When we had
to break that, I was like, yeah, eat more.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
I know I don't feel go through her.
Speaker 9 (34:38):
She tried it before and it did it work, So
let's try a little bit more.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Somebody came to you and said I want to smoke weed.
I want to smoke weed. That happened to be in
high school, and then you go, Okay, it didn't work out.
Speaker 6 (34:49):
Have some weed and you hand them a joint and
you see that they don't inhale it. You'd go, well,
just so you know, you're not going to feel anything
because you didn't inhale the weed. So if you want
to feel it, you need to do it and inhal it.
But for whatever, so do you never wanted to get
high today? I don't understand this.
Speaker 5 (35:05):
It's the same reason. She uh goes to what is
the reason? The tapping of the Christmas ale thing? And
she's like, oh, it's so much fun, and she has
she has a glass of beer, but she doesn't drink it.
She just walks around with it for four hours. Charlie,
it's the same thing.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
It's the same what is whatever? You know?
Speaker 5 (35:24):
She wants to feel socially accepted and and people will
think that she's fun.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
I think is what she's.
Speaker 6 (35:32):
I will never tell you were over to take a
gummy because you've never said I want to eat a gummy.
But if you said the words I want to eat
a gummy, I'd go here.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
I was just telling a story because I told you
my friends are always having fun when they do it,
feel like you should try it, and I have done one.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Why don't you try it?
Speaker 4 (35:49):
I did want to the Atlantis when we were all together.
I did it a couple of times there and that
was fun.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
But then you did did you do enough where you
felt something?
Speaker 4 (35:58):
Oh? Yeah, that was fun?
Speaker 1 (35:59):
What did you and it has smoke? Did you eat?
You had a gummy? How much was it? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
MILLI my best friend's husband that would say.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
You don't know. All right, where all this is going on.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
In the pool? Where is this Atlantis?
Speaker 6 (36:15):
Is that out of the country from us? You were
you moved weed? I didn't, but okay, I'm not judging
that scares me any of that flying out of the country.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Gummy.
Speaker 9 (36:30):
Yeah, they start.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
It's a different countries, even though it's legal in Jamaica, America.
That's how they do.
Speaker 6 (36:45):
You remember getting out of the airport at Jamaica and
at the airport there's dudes coming up going you want
to joint, you want to joint, and you're like, luckily
I was warned, don't buy it from them because those
are all undercover cops trying to bust you.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Immediately. Fact think they just say that it people did
not do it. I'm not risking I'll anyway.
Speaker 5 (37:07):
So this study about binge drinking, which is sort of counterintuitive, counterintuitive,
it says that people who youngsters these start drinking. I
guess probably there. It's legal to start drinking at the
age of eighteen. So if you drink, binge drink when
you're eighteen, nineteen twenty up through like your twenties, you
(37:30):
are more successful, You have a better job, and you
make more money. Now why would that be because you
would think, oh man, you binge drink and you are
are not going to be able to show up to
work the next day, or whatever the case may be.
But they basically attribute it to the idea that alcohol
advances your career because it breaks down social inhibitions and
(37:55):
it reduces awkwardness where you're a little unsure of yourself,
and then you become more open to meeting people experiencing things.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
This, frankly is why I drink out and really the
only reason. I think.
Speaker 6 (38:10):
It's also key it forms connections with people, and that's
the only way to move ahead.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Remember that time we were so loaded last week?
Speaker 6 (38:19):
You know, it's the only way to move ahead ever,
is through who you know. That's literally that's it. Nobody
cares about your performance as much. It's a big work
ethic here, none, no, no, I'll none of that is important.
It's who you know and if they like you and
if you're out with the boss drinking, he's going to
remember you a lot more than the guy that went
home and read it for work.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
So that that's it's your connections. I think that can
cause it.
Speaker 5 (38:43):
And I think that these you know, this study probably
I don't know if they're really drinking or if they
say you should drink with your.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Boss, but they're saying that.
Speaker 5 (38:51):
Just you know, as you're in your early twenties the
beginnings of your career, the more you go out and
drink and binge drink, the more people you will network
with who then potentially could become a boss or potentially
could be somebody to help you out a career wise
later provide a connection. Oh yeah, I know that guy
(39:12):
can help you get a job there, or whatever the
case may be. So they high now they do say,
you still have all the problems livered you name it.
You know, people are dropping dead of all these things.
But when it comes to your job success, binge drinking
is a recipe for success.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
I sort of agree with you. I sort of agree
with that. Now's nothing being said in practice.
Speaker 6 (39:38):
In theory, uh, in practice, I would be the CEO
of iHeart then and everybody I would know it would
be in the fortune five hundred, which is not true.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
None of this is happening.
Speaker 5 (39:49):
And like all of you, your friends, all the guys
in the r V group would really be like the
Jeff Bezos, the Elon Musk, the Sam Altman's and but
it's not happened.
Speaker 6 (40:02):
No, we're definitely not So I don't know how true.
This is just based off of literally every person I know.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
I think maybe.
Speaker 5 (40:11):
Perhaps what you have to do, and I don't know
if this study bears this out, but Charlie, they talk
about binge drinking from the time you turn eighteen through
your twenties. Maybe you have to taper off in your
mid to late twenties and stop the binge drinking and
become a little more mature. That may be where you
(40:32):
and your friends have gone wrong. You're chasing the binge
drink success.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
You keep at it.
Speaker 5 (40:38):
I give you a credit for trying every weekend, but
it hasn't worked out.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
It'll pay off eventually, It'll all way out, YEP. I
have faith.
Speaker 5 (40:50):
Well, that's the study was quite big and they say
that it does help you out. Now here's somebody who
says alcoholics are totally a holes quit promoting it. I'm
not promoting being an alcoholic. I'm just telling you, binge drinking,
I don't think that makes you an alcoholic. They really,
for whatever reason, have been tried to expand the definition
(41:14):
of being an alcoholic.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Drinking is anything.
Speaker 6 (41:17):
If you if you ever drink more and you get
drunker than point eight percent, which is the legal limit
for driving, that's everything.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
That's two drinks.
Speaker 9 (41:28):
Well, it just reminds me of girls who binge and purge.
They don't eat all the time like that. They'll all
of a sudden eat like a muck bang and then
they'll you know, yeah, like I would say, binge drinking,
you're not doing it all the time. You're doing it
once in a while. It's not a every day you're
drinking that heavily. It might be one day at the
weekend you binge drink, not a.
Speaker 5 (41:48):
If you were doing it every day. I go, okay,
that's an alcoholic. But if you're if every time you drink,
you binge drink, but you're only drinking once a week
or every other week or whatever. Like when I was younger,
that was Friday night and Saturday night and occasional Sunday
(42:08):
I mean binge drinking was that's how you did it,
and then I wouldn't I had to wake up early
in the morning during you know, during the week. But
on a Friday and Saturday you were drinking ten twelve drinks.
You were binge drinking every night. But would I say
that I was an alcoholic?
Speaker 1 (42:24):
I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (42:25):
I mean groups, yeah, I know they all well I
don't know about the law, but you know, according to
the support groups that want, you know, who need more
alcoholics to keep going, they would define that as being
an alcoholic.
Speaker 1 (42:39):
Which is college kids.
Speaker 9 (42:41):
That's what college kids do every weekend, go out, party hard,
and then start your week again on Monday.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
Yeah, of course if usually when was the last time
you were drunk?
Speaker 11 (42:52):
Ah?
Speaker 1 (42:54):
Buzzed? Or I don't dronk?
Speaker 4 (42:59):
I can't. I mean, I honestly can't tell you drunk
like drunk where I thought I was going to vomit?
Speaker 1 (43:06):
No no, no, no that, but you could it could happen.
I mean, you live with her and have you ever
seen her drunk?
Speaker 7 (43:19):
Not?
Speaker 1 (43:20):
You know, not what I would consider drunk. Like when
I get drunk, I go what happened last night?
Speaker 4 (43:25):
Oh, I don't do I have never blacked out.
Speaker 1 (43:27):
I did no I.
Speaker 4 (43:30):
In college, and I never did it again after that.
Speaker 1 (43:34):
I did see her one time. I believe it was
a New Year's Eve.
Speaker 5 (43:40):
In Los Angeles, so probably around nineteen, I don't know,
two thousand or somewhere around whatever year. I don't know
when the hell that was two thousand and one something,
I don't know. I do remember her being pretty buzzed.
But that's the last time I've ever seen it. I
mean that was Seriously, it's twenty fty five years. Yeah, yeah,
(44:04):
so all these times if she's out, oh I had
a few drinks.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
Oh, I drink glasses of wine at home.
Speaker 4 (44:09):
I do drink wine at home.
Speaker 1 (44:11):
It's a problem. It is, tell me off air, it's
a problem. Now I need to cut down.
Speaker 4 (44:15):
I feel bad.
Speaker 1 (44:17):
Uh, I've got to take a break.
Speaker 5 (44:18):
Our number is eight sixty six, you know, Rover eight
sixty six nine sixty seven six eight three seven. Valerie,
you're on Rover's Morning Glory. We're going to get to
the Shizzy in a few minutes, but first go ahead.
Speaker 12 (44:28):
Valerie, Hey, good morning. I just had an alternate theory
about the binge drinking study. I think when you're looking
at things like this, you have to take into consideration
the causation and the way at least that it sounds
like the study is presenting it is that the binge
drinking is causing the success, when I think it's probably
(44:50):
the success that's causing the binge drinking. And what I
mean by that is that they're they're these successful young people.
They probably have these very stressful jobs. They're working sixty
hours a week, and then they're going in binge drinking
on the weekend. So it's the job that's causing the drinking,
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (45:04):
And they have money to.
Speaker 5 (45:05):
Burn because they are successful, so they can pay for
the binge drinking. And then a guy who works a
menial job at a gas station, minimum wage or whatever,
he doesn't have the available funds to go out and
do that, so he doesn't binge drink. Therefore, the study
doesn't accurately reflect you know. Okay, so you're all right.
(45:28):
They're not saying it's causation. They are just saying there
is a correlation between binge drinking and success in your career. Now,
it probably doesn't cause it, but there's something there's a
very very strong correlation, and they said, it's definitely statistically
significant worth looking into. But Valerie may be right. They
(45:50):
also point out to some things like they have a
in this study. They were talking about a like a
some fancy university where maybe in England, Oxford University or something,
and they have this all male drinking club and they're like, yeah,
those people have turned out to be prime ministers and
presidents and stuff like that. Well, yeah, they're at a
(46:11):
super rich school that they're going to or whatever, and
they probably come from the families that have been around
for a thousand years and they happy to like to drink.
Speaker 1 (46:22):
It's not the.
Speaker 5 (46:22):
Drinking isn't causing their success, it's being who they are. Brandon,
you're on Rover's Morning, Gloria Born and Brandon.
Speaker 1 (46:32):
Hey, Rover.
Speaker 8 (46:36):
So, I am five years sober myself, but I went,
but I would consider myself I was a thing shrinker.
But it's uh, you know, I did my AA and
everything and I actually learned a lot about all different
kinds of alcoholics out there. Yeah, behind I have to itch.
(47:00):
You have the kinds that they are, the binges. You
have the kinds that are you know, the binges would
be like a little bit more frequent, and I like, oh,
I got nothing else to do, I want to go
a drink. Oh I'm bored, I drink. I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (47:15):
See.
Speaker 5 (47:15):
I never really felt that I was never drink. It
was more you know, you guys know how introverted I
and it gets me out of you.
Speaker 8 (47:27):
Yourself a social drinker, and you know socially you would
go and plan your drinks. Now Ben's drinker would be like,
I think I could do one, but after you have
that one, you can't stop. Now that is what the
beings drinking alcoholic tendency would.
Speaker 1 (47:45):
Come in effect.
Speaker 5 (47:47):
Well and congratulations on well, I have to take a break,
but congratulations five years being so where that's an accomplishment
and hopefully everything is going better for you now Brandon,
thank you. I've got to take a break. Eight six
six year Rover. We do have the Shizzy coming up.
In just a moment, the news will be right back.
Speaker 1 (48:06):

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
