I will get to your email here in just a moment.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I've noticed that Charlie seems to be doing his hair
more like he's coming in. He seems to be putting
a little more effort into his appearance. I think he's
going up, is he? Do you think that's what it is?
I come in with the BedHead, and now he is
putting some product in there, parting that hair. He looks
(02:11):
looks like a male model almost.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
But he isn't to offset his face and all this
scraggly hair that's going on.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Does he want you to now? Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (02:25):
No.
Speaker 7 (02:25):
I told you guys a month ago, I got my
haircut and they did a different So I'm putting stuff
in it.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
So when they does it not go the way that
you want it to go, like the way you said
that they did it different?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Does that I got totally different cut? I said.
Speaker 7 (02:39):
I went in because remember, like you know, I've had
the same haircut my whole life.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
So it was like early spring.
Speaker 7 (02:47):
I went into a barbershop and said, have at it,
and they gave me that fade.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Did not look good. He didn't like that did not
look right in my head.
Speaker 7 (02:57):
And then I went to another barber shop around here,
closer to here, and I said, the same thing. Do
whatever you want, this is your this is yours, your canvas.
Fix this And then they've they did something just they
did different they've cut it different. I know it doesn't
look like much, but it is different than I normally get.
And then they put they gave me some goop to
(03:18):
put in, and now I'm a goop guy.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I'm just gonna put goop in every morning.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I went in the back room, he was there for
a couple of minutes, came out, had some goop in
his hands, rubbed it through Charlie's hair as a woman.
But yeah, okay, you got it from a guy. I
assume I think it looks better. I think I think
this looks better than what he was, than what you
had before.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Charlie, do you like this or not?
Speaker 6 (03:43):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah, no, it's Good's all right. I think I have
to get it cut again. I think it's too long.
I'm not sure exactly. I don't know if I'm even
styling it correctly. I don't know what I'm doing. I'm
not used to using combs.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yeah, when you.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
When you call me here, do you find like the
natural party in your hair?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
The way you your hair like? Actually parts?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I think on the one side, I think what you
got going on right now I think is.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Really it looks pretty good. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I think I think you have going on here, Jeffrey
Jeffrey has it looks like he was you ever seeing
a dog put their head out the side window when
the car is going seventy miles per hour. That's what
his hair looks like. It's blown pack straight up.
Speaker 8 (04:22):
No, because it's it's when I had my haircut recently.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I had him do like try to do a fade,
but he did try to find you were trying to
trying to.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Try to comb it back because my hair is since
I've had my last haircut, my hair has grown out,
grown out a little. He went in and you said,
a guy that I really love. He had a picture
of me. I think, No, wasn't my friend? Okay, who
wasn't Who is the picture of Originally? I wanted to
(04:52):
try for the brock lester look.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Oh different guy.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Okay, yeah, and you didn't get be cut short enough originally.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
So that's why. So when I go back in, I'm
gonna track for that same hairstyle a lot. It's grown up.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
The last time you had a haircut, it's probably been
a couple of months.
Speaker 7 (05:13):
No, it's been like one month. I think it's been recent.
It was so quick. Oh, his beard is his beard
is filling in nicely. He's got grown quite the beard
over here. I'm I'm getting a little. I don't like
this man. This is too much here, Yeah it is,
(05:33):
I think, Yeah, I don't think so.
Speaker 9 (05:37):
Also when he stuck his head out the window and
maybe he fell out because his arm is all road rashed.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
Oh yeah, the right, your right shoulder, Jefferies, looks looks
really fresh.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Oh what happened there? It's got a bunch of looks
like he fell in a tar pit.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
What No, it's it's black paint.
Speaker 8 (05:55):
I tried to I wandered this song with the weekend
and apparentially couldn't.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Get the paint out. Did you need a laundry come out?
What did you did this the other night?
Speaker 10 (06:05):
What night? Let me think hit over the weekend? And
I met that I didn't meet over the weekend. I met, Uh,
I did actually get it Tuesday night?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Oh okay, Tuesday last night? Wait last night? Wait a second,
you couldn't remember doing it?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
You did not thought it was over the weekend, but
then he realized last week.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I take that back, I take that back, my mistake.
I actually get it. Monday night, Monday, okay, Monday night,
is Monday. This past Monday night, I do my laundry
to do it Sunday. Yeah, I'm sure I didn't do
it Sunday because that was my day to rest from
our trip. Oh okay, all right.
Speaker 8 (06:43):
We didn't get back until we get back to almost.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Uh eight pm. I know, because you took a thirteen
hour ride back. He would have gotten back at about
I don't know, noon or something, if you would have
just taken a direct route.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
But he got back at eight pm. Where could you
go in thirteen hours? Oh? My god, I could fly
to Japan or something.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
I mean thirteen hours.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I mean where could you Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
If you were to drive thirteen hours and try to
get somewhere, where could you go? Oh I'm assuming I
mean from home down to Miami Beach.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I think is about a twenty hour drive.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
So I'm guessing you get somewhere down into like South
Carolina after thirteen hours, roughly. Take I tried Charlotte First
on the freeway, Charlotte's for nine hours, Yeah, Charlotte's. Charlotte's
only eight So you still could you make it?
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Me?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I might be able to get all the way to
the Floridajackson could.
Speaker 9 (07:42):
He make it to Jacksonville, Florida, because like Florida's had
a six or eight hours long yeah stretch.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Thirteen hours and twenty three minutes. Yeah, that's the equivalent
that he drove. He could have driven drove to Jacksonville, Florida. Basically,
my wife's whole idea, my wife's whole thing is like,
like we took the freeway going to Rochester's we had
to be there to certain we had to be there
and you know, a certain time.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
But but coming back.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Though, she always once told me, this is a long
time ago that a lot of times it's not so
much your destination, it's the adventure of getting there. Yeah, okay,
and you guys are taking the adventure thirteen hours.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Well why not next.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Time go through, Like if you're coming back, if you
go back to Rochester for another wrestling match or something,
why not go through Jacksonville on the way home.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
It's too far out of my way.
Speaker 7 (08:32):
Or if you're going to do the adventure on the road,
maybe see some of the roadside sites, like.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I don't know, Niagara Niagara Falls. When you drive through it,
you could stop off and take a peek.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
At that's the point of the adventure on that thirteen
hour scenic road trip, which he also said was his
the day of rest. Are you rested to me? Driving
that long as tiring? Its RESTful?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Well, when I got home, that's when I like, I
stayed it for about another half an hour and went
to bed. Okay, And anyways.
Speaker 8 (09:03):
We picked up US twenty west coming towards. When we
picked we were just north of Hamburg, New York.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Oh, that's interesting. Tell me more. We could just love
there about this. There's nothing more interesting. I'm just saying.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
I just reached to you last night. I retraced the
route that I took. Why with Riston, writes Yo Rover.
I tried yesterday on the text line, but I failed,
so I figured I'd give it another try. In honor
of Veterans Day, I would love to have a shout
out to my brother Danny. He served in the United
States Marine Corps. Two tourists, one in Iraq, one in Afghanistan.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Is a farm.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
As a family, we bond over the love of your show.
I can't think of a better way to say thank.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
You on this day. To get him on the show. Well,
there you go, thank you, Danny.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Oh there's a picture of them, thank you for serving
for your service.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Yes, I see these guys when they're over there.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Here he is in the middle of a desert, all dusty,
holding his weapon.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
And then I go.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I would last twenty seconds there. I would have to.
They dropped me off and I would have to. You know,
immediately I'd be like, what was the guy was a
clinger and Mash trying to get out? You know I
have a cross dresser or doing anything to try to
get out of the sectionary.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I mean, I would I would anything.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
What do they what do they hate in the military
now transgenders. I would immediately become transgender, gay, you know,
any anything that they don't like. I would immediately try
to flip to that. Do you think because I couldn't,
I wouldn't be able to last.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I just know myself.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Do you think boot camp?
Speaker 6 (10:36):
You would get to boot camp and try it and
then you would be transformed like eventually Klinger was transformed and.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
He was a soldier. Was I didn't watch this much,
but you know I was going to stay this. You
know what mash actually stands for.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
This is explaining to me when I was a kid
Mobile Army Surgical Hospital it's in the show.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah, do you think?
Speaker 8 (10:56):
But that's but but but we I used to watch
the TV show and we when I was a kid,
we had my mom's best friend and her husband lived
right across the street from us.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
We were over there.
Speaker 8 (11:07):
We were watching an episode of mash and her husband
asked me, you know, do you know what that says?
Speaker 7 (11:12):
Why?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I don't know, because I remember I was just a kid,
and he told me. And yeah.
Speaker 8 (11:16):
And by the way, November tenth was also the.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Happy Birthday shout out to the United States Marine Corps
because they just turned two hundred and fifty years old.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Anyway's birthday. Yep.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
My wife always likes to brag as she was born
on the Marine Corps birthday.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
And isn't that the fiftieth anniversary of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Edmond Fitzgerald's thinking and my wife's birthday.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
All this is fascinating, Okay, Curtis right. Rover said on
the air maybe a year ago, how radio stations say
call her X gets tickets to the back door boys
or whatever they are or whatever are lying. Huh, especially
(11:56):
if they are say call ninety three. No station actually
does that. We all know as soon as RMG ends,
everyone in the studio is taking off their headphones getting
ready to bolt. Dooge is already in the car by
the time the outro plays. So who sticks around after
(12:17):
the show and counts caller one, caller two all the
way up to call her thirty.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Well it's Crystal does that.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
And yes, yes, people do take off their headphones after
the show, just as we do when it's a commercial break.
It doesn't mean you immediately head for the exits. But yes,
Crystal does get all the way Jeffrey, can you verify that?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Do you hear her?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Or does she skip? Does she go call her one?
Caller two, call her thirty? She just goes right down
on caller one. You should go ARMG caller one, RMG
caller two, RMG call three, and so on. Told she
we just call her thirty and when that person is reached,
then she takes down all the pertinent information, puts it
into system, builds them a profile if they haven't if
they haven't won anything, or if they'd w anything.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yea to make sure that you did you say.
Speaker 7 (13:02):
When did you ever say anything about that? They don't
do that. I don't think you ever said that. Radio station.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I don't call saying that.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I don't know, but you know, they say caller ninety three.
I don't know, I mean I do remember. I mean,
they would have to be like a big prize if
you were going to be caller ninety three, because normally,
if you're ninety three point one or whatever, they wouldn't
every stupid contest they don't take ninety three callers.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
But by the way, it goes very quickly. It's not
like we're it's not.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Like she's answering one line back there and then you
have to wait for somebody else to call in. The
lines fill up, and so you can blow through that
in order to get the caller thirty. I'm guessing it
takes a less than sixty seconds. I mean, it's not
a tedious process.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Zach from Sarasota. Right, it's good morning. Doug.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Just got a new washer and dryer set. I'm wondering
how much you should tip on delivery of appliances. They
bring it in, install the new one, and remove the
old one. I always wondered if I am tipping enough. Well,
this is interesting because do you tip it all because
(14:16):
you are paying for delivery service? Oftentimes you know, sometimes
it's free, sometimes you're paying for it.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
I never know what to do in situations like that.
How do you determine who you tip how much you tip?
Speaker 7 (14:30):
I usually then that stuff I have so I don't
have to think about it.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
A washer dryer, I mean those things. A washer's heavy, Charlie. Yeah,
but pick it up, would you?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Really?
Speaker 7 (14:43):
And even for as soon as somebody says that when
they want to come in my house, I try to
figuring out a way for them to not come in
my house.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Oh you're kidding. See I'm the opposite.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
As soon as as soon as something says assembly required
or installation required, I immediately go, Can I just pay
you guys a little bit O bring that out?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
No? No, I I no. Never.
Speaker 7 (15:05):
If I don't know them, I don't want them in
my house because I got to clean up the house
and it's I don't want to do it.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I don't want to.
Speaker 9 (15:11):
When I got new appliances for the apartment, I just
had him drop them off in the living room and
because I put them in later, I said, just put
them here.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
And they all right? So did you tip them anything?
Or which they take and sell? So I take your
old does that does that go to It goes to them, uh,
to the drivers or to the company.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
You know a lot of times drivers make it on
the side. So let's just say I go to.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I don't know home depot when I buy a refrigerator
and they come, the people delivering it come and they
take my old refrigerator. You're telling me the drivers get
to keep my old refrigerator, and why would they want it?
Speaker 2 (15:55):
As a matter of if it's working this you can
sell it.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Well, so I just went through this.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
I had to pay one hundred dollars to have them
take it away. Oh so there is a fee to
have them remove it from your house.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
It was fifty dollars just through lows.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
Fifty dollars for the washer, of fifty dollars for the dryer.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
You can't it was two guys set that out on
the front lawn. Don't I need somebody to get rid
of it.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
I wanted it hooked up. They did everything they done again,
they hooked everything up.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
The money to take it away. No, well, I just
replaced my dad's water heater and we just set it
on the front lawn. Somebody, a guy will in a
truck will come grab that it's like not eventually, Oh no,
that'll be within an hour, that thing will be gone
because of.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
All the rare metals that are inside of it.
Speaker 8 (16:48):
That think if Diggy's figure itself is a scrapyard and
you get right for it, yeah, no way.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
And I did because I had to go. This was
on a Saturday. I bought it.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
I went to the grocery store because I don't have cash,
so I put forty dollars like you get at cash back.
I got two twenties and it was two guys. I
gave each twenty dollars. But there was one guy that
did mostly everything. The other guy really didn't do as much.
So felt kind of that, but I gave the one
guy forty bucks.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Some one time I tipped, and I, uh, I forget
even what it was.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
I don't know if I should have been distrusting.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
It was like two or three guys that came to
deliver something, and you know you want to tip at
the end, right, Well, they were packing up their materials
or whatever, you know, the boxes, whatever it was.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
I don't even remember what was being delivered.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
And the two the other guy or two guys, they
just like wrapped up and finished up and got in
the truck, and then the last guy came in to
have me, you know, sign the paperwork or whatever I
had to do. So I signed it and I gave
him the tip money for everybody, and I go, oh,
(17:57):
here you go, this is for all of you guys.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Now.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Then after he was left, I wondered, did he actually
give that to everybody? Or did he go that guy
was a cheap skate. He didn't tip me anything.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
What do you think happened?
Speaker 6 (18:14):
I wondered the same thing, because I gave it to
one guy, gave him two twenties, saved that for both
of you. Thank you balls for thank you both.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
So I don't know if that I don't know if
that's mean thinking that.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
In my pocket the one twenty and then just say
when he gets back in the truck, go oh, hey,
she gave me a twenty, so he got he got
change for this, give me a ten.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I mean, so he might Who knows.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
A piece of trash to rip off the guy that
you're with all day delivering stuff?
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Right, you would, But I just know a lot of
people are pieces of trash. And I thought when I
tipped that guy, I go. I wanted to do it
in front of everybody, you know, so that they knew.
Did I still hand it to one guy or whatever?
But they would all know, oh, here's the tip that
was handed. So I don't really know in situations like
(19:04):
that what you're supposed to tip or how much you're
supposed to tip. And let me see here, Matthew writes Rover.
He's talking about Australia and Antarctica. You could pull off
your last two continents on the same trip, but you
will need to do it in the winter, as our
winter is the austral summer. Several different tour companies offer
(19:28):
sight seeing flights from Australia to Antarctica that take less
than a day. You don't actually land, but you do
get to cross the Antarctic Circle and you get to
see the pack ice in Mount Arrevas.
Speaker 7 (19:41):
You don't land, though, you gotta set foot. You gotta
have to be cool to see. I'm not saying it
wouldn't be cool to fly over and see it. Of
course that'd be awesome, but you gotta least see a picture. Yeah,
I got to set your foot down on it.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
My tootsies have to have to Antarctica in the snow.
Let's see here, here is somebody.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Kareem? I think or I don't know what care.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Since Rover has had the place in Miami, has he
gotten lip injections?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
His bottom lip is wildly big?
Speaker 7 (20:21):
Now?
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Is it does look a little chapped?
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Oh? Chapped? I I will give you.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I always have chapped lips, and I've been man, I've
been drinking a lot of water. I've been trying to,
but for whatever reason, I don't know, but I always
seem to have chapped lips.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
And maybe I'm dehydrated. Maybe my my pee is the
right color.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
But you guys always tell me I don't drink enough water,
but maybe that has something to do with it.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Are you getting lip injections?
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Mmm? Yep, h filler? I think?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Is that what they put in there? I'm getting I'm
getting filler, I'm getting botox. I'm going in for a
facelift at the end of the year. You know, we'll
take a little time off, get a facelift. Okay, Jane writes,
My husband and I recently took a nine hour road
trip to be with my husband's dad and icee you.
(21:16):
On the way there, we were bored, so I paid
for RMG plus, we watched an old episode where Jeffrey
got his butthole wax. Holy crap. I can't believe what
I saw. I could have gone my whole life without
seeing that, but I can now picture Jeffrey's butthole. We
couldn't look away. We even pulled over to laugh at
(21:39):
what was going on. Also, my father in law is
doing much better and is now home from ICU. Jeffrey,
I love you, but don't ever show your butthole on
the show again. It is now burned in my brain.
So Jane can't get your butthole out of her mind.
Speaker 8 (22:00):
Had seen that or seen it live when that happened,
I don't think would be able to reset from there
on memory because it is seared.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
You know.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
The reason we waxed your butthole is because if I
remember correctly, that's when we I don't remember what we
were doing. That's why we had the ass had a mohawk.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
He called it.
Speaker 11 (22:25):
He goes, that is kind of that's kind of the rejoints,
and I was like, okay, yeah, he moved us for
something and he showed us and I could never seen
any ass hair like that.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
It was a straight up mohawk.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
It almost looked like that raccoon tail that Alexangelo used
to wear, but like it was like a tail coming
up out of his butt crack and then like curling
over it. It was, And I don't think it was
as curly as most you know, you'd think of ass hair.
I think his cheeks are totally bare, but then down
the crack is straight, look like a grease.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (23:01):
I have the original picture, not from the the waxing,
but the original, the original assal picture.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Oh no, oh no, yeah, there is come out top
of the head. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Speaking of alex Angelo, I think he did something for us. Charlie,
I forgot, Yeah, I talked to his dad.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Nice, I just.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Old boss.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Just sent it right now, all right, give me a
minute while I.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
Just remember that I talked to him. So I just
sent it to Charlie. He can pull it for us,
but will right Rover.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
I keep hearing Jeffrey say that his family was in
walking distance to the mall and Applebee's in Rochester. I
can tell you there are no hotels close enough to
walk from. The closest one is a motel that people
live in. If that's where John John put them up.
It's really sad. Jeffrey might now have New York bed
(24:06):
bugs that he can introduce to Ohio bedbugs. Look up
them all, then look up hotels. There are none around. Also,
there are no sidewalks in that area. It has an
extremely high volume of traffic, six to seven lanes in area.
I never see anyone walking near there, so the fact
(24:27):
that they were walking is crazy.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
So what's the name of the hotel, Jeffrey. It was
a kind of lodge of lodge, all right? So here's
I've sounds like that's legit and a cond of lodge.
I've heard of those before for people living in this hotel?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Or was it just see many cars in the parking
lot when we got there, nor during nor during the
night that we stayed there, there were other you know,
people staying there but not actually living.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
There all right, gone through the day, Jeffery, Is this
the o'condo?
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Here we go?
Speaker 7 (25:02):
I have the up here? Is the is the mall
where he was wrestling? Is the Ocono Lodge down the
street down here?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (25:10):
So it's like it was in a mile across the
street from seven to eleven.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Yeah, oh okay, I thought it the ways away yeah,
I thought it was closer. I thought I walked.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
I thought the Applebee's was almost next to the uh
A Kondo Lodge. All right, so yeah, it's a little
bit of a distance. Is that a little bit of
a high twenty five minute walk?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
All right? Do you actually hold this thought?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Do you have whatever the Alexandelo thing is that you
got from Beaumar or former program director? No, you didn't
get it, says Okay, Well, Dougie, double check with him,
coordinate and we'll be right back on Rover's Morning Glory.
Hang on in on the radio if you're Vanilla.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Rover's Morning Glory is back.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
All right, Charlie, what did do she's seen you from?
Speaker 12 (26:11):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (26:11):
This is from I guess from alex Angelo, be son.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Of our former program director. You remember him from many
years ago as a young kid he came into the
I mean, he wanted to be Justin Bieber, but we
used to goof on him a little bit more because
of his dad than him. He was a nice kid,
but you know we would goof on his dad Bomo
as he was called.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
What did you used to call alex Angelo, who's DJ
beat Boy before? What would you call him?
Speaker 4 (26:42):
All right's a long time.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
DJ meat boy Joy and I think that actually worked
out because he changed his name pretty pretty quick after that.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
I think he helped him out.
Speaker 7 (26:57):
I think Angelo is a much better name, the DJ
beat boy.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
The famously he was him and always parents I think
were very upset. There was a song that was created
because he had he had a song that he made
as a kid about I. You know, one of these
like a Justin Bieber young Justin Bieber kind of song,
and it was all like, oh, I want to be
with you and I like you.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
I like you not the band too.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
I Also he's saying, I also like you, you like me,
I like you like me, I like you too, And
we changed it to.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Uh, I like mano.
Speaker 12 (27:37):
Yeah, I think it was inappropriate. It was some of
our best work, a real true masterpiece. Uh anyway, so
all right, what do you have from him?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
He posted this on Instagram. Uh, there you go.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Angela writes, this is a little blurry because I was
trying to take it while driving, but I'm pretty sure
I was behind alex Angelo on the highway today as
you could see the what is that is that a
trailer hitch?
Speaker 2 (28:08):
What is this? Gusting? A raccoon tail. Yeah, a raccoontail.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
Hanging out of a So he played that, and then
we'll just jump out a bit where hanging off of
his like a belt loop or something.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Right, And guys, I'm just gonna say, we got to
bring these back.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
It's time. It's time. There he has it. He has
the tail on his.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
Pants, the WMMS jacket.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
That's sway. What kind of tail was that? It was
that like a squirrel tail. It was a gray tail
with a white tip.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Raccoontail.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
I think I think there are always raccoon tails, but
you might be right.
Speaker 7 (28:53):
I wonder if this is original, had to go buy
a new one to make this video, like a fox
would you even get?
Speaker 2 (28:59):
How would you.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yet one that fast? Like amazon? Same day raccoon tail?
I think he has this. I think he. I think
he perhaps he may be using this in his private
life and has this handy because he I don't think
he went out and grabbed one.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Well, good for him. So Jen says, that's a foxtail.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Are there? Gray foxes are there? I mean you've got
Arctic foxes. Oh okay, those are, but those are white.
There's different foxes. Okay, all right, I see red foxes
by by my house sometimes they are just cool to
They're cool to look at, like, I don't know, they
(29:42):
look different than like a cartoon fox.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Like they have longer legs than you would think. I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
They just I see him running around sometimes and they're
really they're really cool looking anyway, So good for him.
All right, Charlie, you said that you wanted to you
wanted to get in on this points game. You want
to get in on credit cards. Yeah, I've never warned you.
I've never had a credit card ever. Really, I mean,
(30:13):
the closest I ever came was I did get one
when I first started wanting to buy a house. I
got a credit card and had a three hundred dollars limit,
but it was even more than that. You had to
have you to give the bank three hundred dollars straight up,
but they would hold onto for you the entire time
you used it, to make sure that you'd pay it back.
(30:35):
And I never beyond that.
Speaker 7 (30:37):
I've never I think I returned that at some point,
So don't I don't have a credit card. No, I
have zero credit cards, so you still have no I'm curious.
I wonder, like if you ever check your credit score
because you have a mortgage, so you do have some
amount of credit history. What is your credit score like
compared to somebody that has credit cards, which they always
(30:59):
tell you all need these to build credit. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
You do it at the beginning, but just get rid
of it as soon as you can. I don't.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
You don't need it if you're paying your mortgage. I
have ATE seven ninety nine and seven ninety four. That's fantastic.
Good for you.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Oh that's that's a good score. Great, Yeah, you don't. Don't.
Speaker 7 (31:15):
I've never had one because I just knew I would
spend money I don't have, and I saw my friends
do it.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
I had other people do it growing up.
Speaker 7 (31:22):
They start getting credit cards for when we turned eighteen nineteen,
and I was like, I that I make enough mistakes.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
I don't need to add that to my pile of mistakes. Yeah,
I made that mistake.
Speaker 7 (31:32):
I never I've never spent anything I didn't have. I'd overdraft.
I would overdraft a lot. I would screw that up
a lot. But no, I've anti credit card.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
But I do like the idea that a young kid
I went probably about twenty or thirty thousand dollars a
credit card dead. I mean, it took me years to
clawn my way out of that debt. But you want
the points. You want a credit card that gives you
points rewards you want? Well, because since I was just
talking about his card yesterday, is and I'm still a
(32:04):
little confused.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
That's you spend money and then you get money back.
Speaker 7 (32:09):
But is it is it just actual dollars or is
it money that can only be used in Disney parks or.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Something or is it Disney one? I think it's this.
It's I'm on my wife's card. It's her card. I'm
on it.
Speaker 9 (32:20):
I know I do have a cash back one that
I used to pay that one, so I get double
you know all over the bus.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Good. Uh, that's actual cash. But the Disney with thing,
I think is just for Disney stuff. So you can
go to Disney stores every year anyway.
Speaker 7 (32:32):
So yeah, that's fine. I mean, yeah, you're paying your
trip throughout the year. Yeah, you're getting those points. That's awesome.
I see people have the.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
You want to get in on this, you want you Yeah,
I have, I have an airline card that I have.
I spend uh for all the business purchases. I put
on this airline card and then they, you know, I
basically can get I don't know, a million points and
this and that and upgraded level of They upgrade you
the first class all the time for free.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
That sounds awesome.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
I have another, My personal credit card has I don't know,
some sort of It has a bunch of perks and
a bunch of rewards and things like that. But all right,
so you want to get in on the game, you
might be a little bit late because a legal battle
has I did not know anything about this. This is
complete news to me, and I'm curious how this is
(33:24):
all going to shake out because there's been a legal
battle going on for more than twenty years. A lawsuit
was filed back in two thousand and five against merchants
versus Visa and MasterCard, and they said, we don't like
the fees that you are charging us. And you know,
(33:46):
every time that you use your credit card, if you
go to let's just say Walmart, for instance, you use
your credit card, your bill comes up to one hundred dollars.
When you check out, the credit card charges one hundred dollars,
puts one hundred dollars charge under your credit card, but
Walmart themselves only gets about ninety eight dollars and fifty cents,
(34:08):
so they are for the luxury of taking your credit card.
They are charged a fee, an interchange fee, two two
and a half percent, whatever the case might be. And
so these merchants were upset. They go, this is anti competitive,
this is a monopoly. Your charge you're gallaging us. This
(34:28):
is too much. And this is back in two thousand
and five that they filed this lawsuit. It still has
not been resolved twenty years later. If those same lawsuit,
I mean, this is the world's longest lawsuit.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
It has to be. It just goes on and on
and on and on.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
But now they have reached are very close to reaching
a settlement. And what this does is currently, if a
Walmart or a mom and pop store wants to accept
Visa credit cards, they have to not own they have
to accept any card with that Visa logo on there.
And depending on the kind of card that you have.
(35:05):
This is news to me, I did not know this.
Depending on the kind of card that you have, that
determines how much that merchant is.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Charged to accept that card.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
So some cards it will actually be more expensive for
the merchant to accept that card than other visa cards.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
I thought it was just a flat fee.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
I thought it was like two percent to and a
half percent, and it was that across the board no
matter what card was used.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
But it's not.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Somebody with a basic, no frills visa card they walk
into Walmart. Walmart might have to pay a two point
twenty five percent fee to accept that card. I go
in there with some card, or a Snitz goes in
with his Disney card where he's getting all his Disney
dollars as rewards.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Well, he pays for that same thing at Walmart.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Walmart is charged a two and a half percent that
fee for that, So it's slightly more. Now it's only
a slight difference, but it adds up to billions and
billions and billions of dollars per year.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
And this is the merchants want this so they can
get no. The merchants don't want The merchants don't want to.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
The credit card companies do that because the more rewards
that your credit card has, the more expensive it is.
You know, they have to provide you with those points
or those rewards or whatever what funds that the higher
interchange fee charged to a merchant funds that. So the
merchants don't like that. They say, we don't like that,
(36:38):
we're paying too much. So a deal is about to
be struck where merchants will no longer be required to
accept all Visa or all Master cards, so you can
walk into a store like you know how they have
the sign here, Visa accepted here, master Card accepted here,
American Express accepted here. Won't necessarily be the case. So
(37:02):
if they have Visa accepted here, that means you have
a visa card. You try to purchase it and it
will decline. I'll go, oh, sorry, now we don't accept
these kinds of visa cards. It doesn't We're not going
to take this card. You got to use something else.
And that will effectively ruin these rewards cards because all
(37:24):
these merchants, according to everything I've read, they go, we
pay too much for these rewards cards, the Disney card,
the United Airlines card, the whatever with all of these rewards,
the Chase Sapphire Reserve card that gives you access to
airport lounges, or this, that or the other. Nope, we're
(37:47):
not going to accept that category of cards. So this
could be extremely confusing when you walk into a store
you think you're gonna pay with your visa and they go, man,
we don't take we don't take those kinds.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
I mean, this is gonna be like the wilds.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Fact my debit card, no debit cards, completely unaffected.
Speaker 7 (38:07):
Wait all right, I don't care then, yes, I won't
just do it and well, just won't get one of
these credit cards.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Yeah, that's fine, forty it's not gonna get a bad
card new anyway. Yeah, that's not bad. This is bad
news for me though, Like I get all of these
rewards and frequent flyer miles and Snitzer, this is bad
news for you. You get all your Disney dollars and
in fact you're getting your Disney dollars, but then you're
using another card with cash back to pay your Disney
credit card bill off, So you kind of double dipping
(38:34):
there times.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Can you do that, Snitzer as much as you want? No?
I mean, could you also then get a third card? Yeah?
You could.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Why does everybody just do this and get an endless
loop and you buy get paid off eventually?
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Right?
Speaker 1 (38:46):
In other words, that they're mighty. They'll be paying you
just to buy stuff at some point.
Speaker 7 (38:51):
Yeah, but I'm saying you go ten cards deep you could, yeah,
if you could, and then you but the last card
the end of the train, you pay that off, sure,
and then you get all these points across.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Good.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
Well, that may be coming to a close because with
this new settlement now it hasn't been reached one hundred percent,
but it could be announced in the coming days. It's
going to be very very confusing for people when you
go into a store and we're all used to just
handing over your visa or your master card and that's it,
and you don't think twice about it. But now the
(39:24):
kind of card that you have, and they'll be broken
down into they gave there's like three I think they
have about three or four tiers of.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
These credit cards. Let me see here. I can't find it,
but they have three or four tiers.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
And so a merchant might reject the kind that is
a rewards card, or the kind that is a travel card,
or whatever the case may be, because they say that
the fees are too high. So it's going to get
very confusing and for anybody that is milking and not
even milking the system, but these are the rewards they offer.
(40:04):
This is what you get Snitzer is taking advantage of it.
You may soon be out of luck. Devin says, this
just happened to me last week at Costco. I tried
to pay with a master card, but it was declined
because they didn't accept it. I had to pay with debit.
I think they only accept it's a Costco. Somebody only
(40:25):
accepts one kind of card, and it might be Visa.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
I think it's maybe it is Costco. They only accept Visa.
Speaker 4 (40:31):
No, because I have a master card for my business and.
Speaker 6 (40:35):
They take it, take it, but you need to have.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (40:39):
I just went into a store, grocery store for an
order that I'm working on, and it is the master card.
Speaker 4 (40:46):
They now only take it with a pin.
Speaker 11 (40:48):
And it means that's debit, I think, right, So yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
Because Costco, I go there and I use my MasterCard.
Speaker 6 (40:54):
Debit card, right, so you have to have a pen
to get in now, So that's me.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Maybe if you had a credit card, a MasterCard, debit card,
maybe they would not accept that.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
I know that I did read in one of these
articles about this that some merchants like one only excepts Visa.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
They don't accept Master card. I go, that's crazy. Who doesn't.
Speaker 7 (41:13):
Well, there's one Brook for a while only just only
accepted Discover card.
Speaker 4 (41:19):
That's right, who and checks talking.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
About you do all the shopping, and you do all
your shopping, you'd forget every single time you get to
the end and they're like, you go and hand them
your card. They go, you don't take that? What are
you talking about cash? I mean door cash obviously they go.
What they're like, only Discover card. You're like, I've never
met this. I've never met mark.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Cards now except all cards. Now they finally did.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
I mean I might have been like a decade ago,
but you would it was way deep into the two.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
Thousands and you're still, who has a Discover card? I've
never even met an card. I would bring my check
book in. I would write checks there. Oh my cadro.
Speaker 1 (42:00):
Anyways, So so things could be changing there, which will
be it'll be interesting. Now some they're saying maybe there
won't be that big of a change because at least
with big merchants, because they are afraid that they will
lose sales if they stop taking some of the rewards
cards or whatever, and they don't want to lose out
on sales.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
So will everyone do this? I don't know. We'll see.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
There's a a commercial that Nike has put out.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
Apparently Nike is losing market share.
Speaker 1 (42:33):
I didn't know that. Did you guys know this? That
Nike their sales are slumping. They're losing market share to
Adidas and to Hokah. I guess, and they you're a
big Hoka fans, So they're they're losing market share. So
(42:54):
they're trying to do things in order to gain market share,
in order to stay relevant. Now they've been one of
these companies that is you know, they kind of go
out on I wouldn't even say they. I mean to
some extent they do. They go out in the the
social justice stuff to some extent. I know they would
(43:17):
rile people up from time to time. I remember something
I don't I don't was it something with Colin Kaepernick
or or was it something else I don't remember, but
people were burning their Nike shoes and their Nike shirts
and stuff like that. I took a dump on a
Nike shoe on yeah, so I paid for this. I'm
(43:40):
going to ruin it. Why he did that. I think
people were doing this in order because they were like
I don't want to. I don't want to advertise for
this company. I hate this company now for whatever reason.
And I don't remember if it was Colin Kaepernick taking
a knee or whatever the case might be, but they've
they've done a few things like that over the years. Nike,
they they would be what I would consider a progressive company.
(44:04):
I think we could all agree in that. So anyhow,
they are doing something to try to increase their market
share and stay relevant. And I want to play you
a commercial that they have now that they just created.
Speaker 2 (44:17):
Give me a minute, I'll get or I'll give you
a minute.

thinking of our board or our video guy, Anthony Snitzer.

I've noticed that Charlie seems to be doing his hair
more like he's coming in. He seems to be putting
a little more effort into his appearance. I think he's
going up, is he? Do you think that's what it is?
I come in with the BedHead, and now he is
putting some product in there, parting that hair. He looks
(02:11):
looks like a male model almost.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
But he isn't to offset his face and all this
scraggly hair that's going on.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Does he want you to now? Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (02:25):
No.
Speaker 7 (02:25):
I told you guys a month ago, I got my
haircut and they did a different So I'm putting stuff
in it.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
So when they does it not go the way that
you want it to go, like the way you said
that they did it different?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Does that I got totally different cut? I said.
Speaker 7 (02:39):
I went in because remember, like you know, I've had
the same haircut my whole life.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
So it was like early spring.
Speaker 7 (02:47):
I went into a barbershop and said, have at it,
and they gave me that fade.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Did not look good. He didn't like that did not
look right in my head.
Speaker 7 (02:57):
And then I went to another barber shop around here,
closer to here, and I said, the same thing. Do
whatever you want, this is your this is yours, your canvas.
Fix this And then they've they did something just they
did different they've cut it different. I know it doesn't
look like much, but it is different than I normally get.
And then they put they gave me some goop to
(03:18):
put in, and now I'm a goop guy.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I'm just gonna put goop in every morning.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I went in the back room, he was there for
a couple of minutes, came out, had some goop in
his hands, rubbed it through Charlie's hair as a woman.
But yeah, okay, you got it from a guy. I
assume I think it looks better. I think I think
this looks better than what he was, than what you
had before.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Charlie, do you like this or not?
Speaker 6 (03:43):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah, no, it's Good's all right. I think I have
to get it cut again. I think it's too long.
I'm not sure exactly. I don't know if I'm even
styling it correctly. I don't know what I'm doing. I'm
not used to using combs.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yeah, when you.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
When you call me here, do you find like the
natural party in your hair?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
The way you your hair like? Actually parts?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I think on the one side, I think what you
got going on right now I think is.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Really it looks pretty good. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I think I think you have going on here, Jeffrey
Jeffrey has it looks like he was you ever seeing
a dog put their head out the side window when
the car is going seventy miles per hour. That's what
his hair looks like. It's blown pack straight up.
Speaker 8 (04:22):
No, because it's it's when I had my haircut recently.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I had him do like try to do a fade,
but he did try to find you were trying to
trying to.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Try to comb it back because my hair is since
I've had my last haircut, my hair has grown out,
grown out a little. He went in and you said,
a guy that I really love. He had a picture
of me. I think, No, wasn't my friend? Okay, who
wasn't Who is the picture of Originally? I wanted to
(04:52):
try for the brock lester look.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Oh different guy.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Okay, yeah, and you didn't get be cut short enough originally.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
So that's why. So when I go back in, I'm
gonna track for that same hairstyle a lot. It's grown up.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
The last time you had a haircut, it's probably been
a couple of months.
Speaker 7 (05:13):
No, it's been like one month. I think it's been recent.
It was so quick. Oh, his beard is his beard
is filling in nicely. He's got grown quite the beard
over here. I'm I'm getting a little. I don't like
this man. This is too much here, Yeah it is,
(05:33):
I think, Yeah, I don't think so.
Speaker 9 (05:37):
Also when he stuck his head out the window and
maybe he fell out because his arm is all road rashed.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
Oh yeah, the right, your right shoulder, Jefferies, looks looks
really fresh.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Oh what happened there? It's got a bunch of looks
like he fell in a tar pit.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
What No, it's it's black paint.
Speaker 8 (05:55):
I tried to I wandered this song with the weekend
and apparentially couldn't.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Get the paint out. Did you need a laundry come out?
What did you did this the other night?
Speaker 10 (06:05):
What night? Let me think hit over the weekend? And
I met that I didn't meet over the weekend. I met, Uh,
I did actually get it Tuesday night?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Oh okay, Tuesday last night? Wait last night? Wait a second,
you couldn't remember doing it?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
You did not thought it was over the weekend, but
then he realized last week.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I take that back, I take that back, my mistake.
I actually get it. Monday night, Monday, okay, Monday night,
is Monday. This past Monday night, I do my laundry
to do it Sunday. Yeah, I'm sure I didn't do
it Sunday because that was my day to rest from
our trip. Oh okay, all right.
Speaker 8 (06:43):
We didn't get back until we get back to almost.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Uh eight pm. I know, because you took a thirteen
hour ride back. He would have gotten back at about
I don't know, noon or something, if you would have
just taken a direct route.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
But he got back at eight pm. Where could you
go in thirteen hours? Oh? My god, I could fly
to Japan or something.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
I mean thirteen hours.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I mean where could you Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
If you were to drive thirteen hours and try to
get somewhere, where could you go? Oh I'm assuming I
mean from home down to Miami Beach.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I think is about a twenty hour drive.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
So I'm guessing you get somewhere down into like South
Carolina after thirteen hours, roughly. Take I tried Charlotte First
on the freeway, Charlotte's for nine hours, Yeah, Charlotte's. Charlotte's
only eight So you still could you make it?
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Me?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I might be able to get all the way to
the Floridajackson could.
Speaker 9 (07:42):
He make it to Jacksonville, Florida, because like Florida's had
a six or eight hours long yeah stretch.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Thirteen hours and twenty three minutes. Yeah, that's the equivalent
that he drove. He could have driven drove to Jacksonville, Florida. Basically,
my wife's whole idea, my wife's whole thing is like,
like we took the freeway going to Rochester's we had
to be there to certain we had to be there
and you know, a certain time.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
But but coming back.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Though, she always once told me, this is a long
time ago that a lot of times it's not so
much your destination, it's the adventure of getting there. Yeah, okay,
and you guys are taking the adventure thirteen hours.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Well why not next.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Time go through, Like if you're coming back, if you
go back to Rochester for another wrestling match or something,
why not go through Jacksonville on the way home.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
It's too far out of my way.
Speaker 7 (08:32):
Or if you're going to do the adventure on the road,
maybe see some of the roadside sites, like.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I don't know, Niagara Niagara Falls. When you drive through it,
you could stop off and take a peek.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
At that's the point of the adventure on that thirteen
hour scenic road trip, which he also said was his
the day of rest. Are you rested to me? Driving
that long as tiring? Its RESTful?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Well, when I got home, that's when I like, I
stayed it for about another half an hour and went
to bed. Okay, And anyways.
Speaker 8 (09:03):
We picked up US twenty west coming towards. When we
picked we were just north of Hamburg, New York.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Oh, that's interesting. Tell me more. We could just love
there about this. There's nothing more interesting. I'm just saying.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
I just reached to you last night. I retraced the
route that I took. Why with Riston, writes Yo Rover.
I tried yesterday on the text line, but I failed,
so I figured I'd give it another try. In honor
of Veterans Day, I would love to have a shout
out to my brother Danny. He served in the United
States Marine Corps. Two tourists, one in Iraq, one in Afghanistan.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Is a farm.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
As a family, we bond over the love of your show.
I can't think of a better way to say thank.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
You on this day. To get him on the show. Well,
there you go, thank you, Danny.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Oh there's a picture of them, thank you for serving
for your service.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Yes, I see these guys when they're over there.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Here he is in the middle of a desert, all dusty,
holding his weapon.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
And then I go.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I would last twenty seconds there. I would have to.
They dropped me off and I would have to. You know,
immediately I'd be like, what was the guy was a
clinger and Mash trying to get out? You know I
have a cross dresser or doing anything to try to
get out of the sectionary.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I mean, I would I would anything.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
What do they what do they hate in the military
now transgenders. I would immediately become transgender, gay, you know,
any anything that they don't like. I would immediately try
to flip to that. Do you think because I couldn't,
I wouldn't be able to last.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I just know myself.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Do you think boot camp?
Speaker 6 (10:36):
You would get to boot camp and try it and
then you would be transformed like eventually Klinger was transformed and.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
He was a soldier. Was I didn't watch this much,
but you know I was going to stay this. You
know what mash actually stands for.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
This is explaining to me when I was a kid
Mobile Army Surgical Hospital it's in the show.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah, do you think?
Speaker 8 (10:56):
But that's but but but we I used to watch
the TV show and we when I was a kid,
we had my mom's best friend and her husband lived
right across the street from us.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
We were over there.
Speaker 8 (11:07):
We were watching an episode of mash and her husband
asked me, you know, do you know what that says?
Speaker 7 (11:12):
Why?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I don't know, because I remember I was just a kid,
and he told me. And yeah.
Speaker 8 (11:16):
And by the way, November tenth was also the.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Happy Birthday shout out to the United States Marine Corps
because they just turned two hundred and fifty years old.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Anyway's birthday. Yep.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
My wife always likes to brag as she was born
on the Marine Corps birthday.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
And isn't that the fiftieth anniversary of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Edmond Fitzgerald's thinking and my wife's birthday.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
All this is fascinating, Okay, Curtis right. Rover said on
the air maybe a year ago, how radio stations say
call her X gets tickets to the back door boys
or whatever they are or whatever are lying. Huh, especially
(11:56):
if they are say call ninety three. No station actually
does that. We all know as soon as RMG ends,
everyone in the studio is taking off their headphones getting
ready to bolt. Dooge is already in the car by
the time the outro plays. So who sticks around after
(12:17):
the show and counts caller one, caller two all the
way up to call her thirty.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Well it's Crystal does that.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
And yes, yes, people do take off their headphones after
the show, just as we do when it's a commercial break.
It doesn't mean you immediately head for the exits. But yes,
Crystal does get all the way Jeffrey, can you verify that?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Do you hear her?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Or does she skip? Does she go call her one?
Caller two, call her thirty? She just goes right down
on caller one. You should go ARMG caller one, RMG
caller two, RMG call three, and so on. Told she
we just call her thirty and when that person is reached,
then she takes down all the pertinent information, puts it
into system, builds them a profile if they haven't if
they haven't won anything, or if they'd w anything.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yea to make sure that you did you say.
Speaker 7 (13:02):
When did you ever say anything about that? They don't
do that. I don't think you ever said that. Radio station.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I don't call saying that.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I don't know, but you know, they say caller ninety three.
I don't know, I mean I do remember. I mean,
they would have to be like a big prize if
you were going to be caller ninety three, because normally,
if you're ninety three point one or whatever, they wouldn't
every stupid contest they don't take ninety three callers.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
But by the way, it goes very quickly. It's not
like we're it's not.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Like she's answering one line back there and then you
have to wait for somebody else to call in. The
lines fill up, and so you can blow through that
in order to get the caller thirty. I'm guessing it
takes a less than sixty seconds. I mean, it's not
a tedious process.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Zach from Sarasota. Right, it's good morning. Doug.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Just got a new washer and dryer set. I'm wondering
how much you should tip on delivery of appliances. They
bring it in, install the new one, and remove the
old one. I always wondered if I am tipping enough. Well,
this is interesting because do you tip it all because
(14:16):
you are paying for delivery service? Oftentimes you know, sometimes
it's free, sometimes you're paying for it.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
I never know what to do in situations like that.
How do you determine who you tip how much you tip?
Speaker 7 (14:30):
I usually then that stuff I have so I don't
have to think about it.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
A washer dryer, I mean those things. A washer's heavy, Charlie. Yeah,
but pick it up, would you?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Really?
Speaker 7 (14:43):
And even for as soon as somebody says that when
they want to come in my house, I try to
figuring out a way for them to not come in
my house.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Oh you're kidding. See I'm the opposite.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
As soon as as soon as something says assembly required
or installation required, I immediately go, Can I just pay
you guys a little bit O bring that out?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
No? No, I I no. Never.
Speaker 7 (15:05):
If I don't know them, I don't want them in
my house because I got to clean up the house
and it's I don't want to do it.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I don't want to.
Speaker 9 (15:11):
When I got new appliances for the apartment, I just
had him drop them off in the living room and
because I put them in later, I said, just put
them here.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
And they all right? So did you tip them anything?
Or which they take and sell? So I take your
old does that does that go to It goes to them, uh,
to the drivers or to the company.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
You know a lot of times drivers make it on
the side. So let's just say I go to.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I don't know home depot when I buy a refrigerator
and they come, the people delivering it come and they
take my old refrigerator. You're telling me the drivers get
to keep my old refrigerator, and why would they want it?
Speaker 2 (15:55):
As a matter of if it's working this you can
sell it.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Well, so I just went through this.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
I had to pay one hundred dollars to have them
take it away. Oh so there is a fee to
have them remove it from your house.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
It was fifty dollars just through lows.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
Fifty dollars for the washer, of fifty dollars for the dryer.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
You can't it was two guys set that out on
the front lawn. Don't I need somebody to get rid
of it.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
I wanted it hooked up. They did everything they done again,
they hooked everything up.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
The money to take it away. No, well, I just
replaced my dad's water heater and we just set it
on the front lawn. Somebody, a guy will in a
truck will come grab that it's like not eventually, Oh no,
that'll be within an hour, that thing will be gone
because of.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
All the rare metals that are inside of it.
Speaker 8 (16:48):
That think if Diggy's figure itself is a scrapyard and
you get right for it, yeah, no way.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
And I did because I had to go. This was
on a Saturday. I bought it.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
I went to the grocery store because I don't have cash,
so I put forty dollars like you get at cash back.
I got two twenties and it was two guys. I
gave each twenty dollars. But there was one guy that
did mostly everything. The other guy really didn't do as much.
So felt kind of that, but I gave the one
guy forty bucks.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Some one time I tipped, and I, uh, I forget
even what it was.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
I don't know if I should have been distrusting.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
It was like two or three guys that came to
deliver something, and you know you want to tip at
the end, right, Well, they were packing up their materials
or whatever, you know, the boxes, whatever it was.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
I don't even remember what was being delivered.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
And the two the other guy or two guys, they
just like wrapped up and finished up and got in
the truck, and then the last guy came in to
have me, you know, sign the paperwork or whatever I
had to do. So I signed it and I gave
him the tip money for everybody, and I go, oh,
(17:57):
here you go, this is for all of you guys.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Now.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Then after he was left, I wondered, did he actually
give that to everybody? Or did he go that guy
was a cheap skate. He didn't tip me anything.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
What do you think happened?
Speaker 6 (18:14):
I wondered the same thing, because I gave it to
one guy, gave him two twenties, saved that for both
of you. Thank you balls for thank you both.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
So I don't know if that I don't know if
that's mean thinking that.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
In my pocket the one twenty and then just say
when he gets back in the truck, go oh, hey,
she gave me a twenty, so he got he got
change for this, give me a ten.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I mean, so he might Who knows.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
A piece of trash to rip off the guy that
you're with all day delivering stuff?
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Right, you would, But I just know a lot of
people are pieces of trash. And I thought when I
tipped that guy, I go. I wanted to do it
in front of everybody, you know, so that they knew.
Did I still hand it to one guy or whatever?
But they would all know, oh, here's the tip that
was handed. So I don't really know in situations like
(19:04):
that what you're supposed to tip or how much you're
supposed to tip. And let me see here, Matthew writes Rover.
He's talking about Australia and Antarctica. You could pull off
your last two continents on the same trip, but you
will need to do it in the winter, as our
winter is the austral summer. Several different tour companies offer
(19:28):
sight seeing flights from Australia to Antarctica that take less
than a day. You don't actually land, but you do
get to cross the Antarctic Circle and you get to
see the pack ice in Mount Arrevas.
Speaker 7 (19:41):
You don't land, though, you gotta set foot. You gotta
have to be cool to see. I'm not saying it
wouldn't be cool to fly over and see it. Of
course that'd be awesome, but you gotta least see a picture. Yeah,
I got to set your foot down on it.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
My tootsies have to have to Antarctica in the snow.
Let's see here, here is somebody.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Kareem? I think or I don't know what care.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Since Rover has had the place in Miami, has he
gotten lip injections?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
His bottom lip is wildly big?
Speaker 7 (20:21):
Now?
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Is it does look a little chapped?
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Oh? Chapped? I I will give you.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I always have chapped lips, and I've been man, I've
been drinking a lot of water. I've been trying to,
but for whatever reason, I don't know, but I always
seem to have chapped lips.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
And maybe I'm dehydrated. Maybe my my pee is the
right color.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
But you guys always tell me I don't drink enough water,
but maybe that has something to do with it.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Are you getting lip injections?
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Mmm? Yep, h filler? I think?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Is that what they put in there? I'm getting I'm
getting filler, I'm getting botox. I'm going in for a
facelift at the end of the year. You know, we'll
take a little time off, get a facelift. Okay, Jane writes,
My husband and I recently took a nine hour road
trip to be with my husband's dad and icee you.
(21:16):
On the way there, we were bored, so I paid
for RMG plus, we watched an old episode where Jeffrey
got his butthole wax. Holy crap. I can't believe what
I saw. I could have gone my whole life without
seeing that, but I can now picture Jeffrey's butthole. We
couldn't look away. We even pulled over to laugh at
(21:39):
what was going on. Also, my father in law is
doing much better and is now home from ICU. Jeffrey,
I love you, but don't ever show your butthole on
the show again. It is now burned in my brain.
So Jane can't get your butthole out of her mind.
Speaker 8 (22:00):
Had seen that or seen it live when that happened,
I don't think would be able to reset from there
on memory because it is seared.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
You know.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
The reason we waxed your butthole is because if I
remember correctly, that's when we I don't remember what we
were doing. That's why we had the ass had a mohawk.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
He called it.
Speaker 11 (22:25):
He goes, that is kind of that's kind of the rejoints,
and I was like, okay, yeah, he moved us for
something and he showed us and I could never seen
any ass hair like that.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
It was a straight up mohawk.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
It almost looked like that raccoon tail that Alexangelo used
to wear, but like it was like a tail coming
up out of his butt crack and then like curling
over it. It was, And I don't think it was
as curly as most you know, you'd think of ass hair.
I think his cheeks are totally bare, but then down
the crack is straight, look like a grease.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (23:01):
I have the original picture, not from the the waxing,
but the original, the original assal picture.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Oh no, oh no, yeah, there is come out top
of the head. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Speaking of alex Angelo, I think he did something for us. Charlie,
I forgot, Yeah, I talked to his dad.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Nice, I just.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Old boss.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Just sent it right now, all right, give me a
minute while I.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
Just remember that I talked to him. So I just
sent it to Charlie. He can pull it for us,
but will right Rover.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
I keep hearing Jeffrey say that his family was in
walking distance to the mall and Applebee's in Rochester. I
can tell you there are no hotels close enough to
walk from. The closest one is a motel that people
live in. If that's where John John put them up.
It's really sad. Jeffrey might now have New York bed
(24:06):
bugs that he can introduce to Ohio bedbugs. Look up
them all, then look up hotels. There are none around. Also,
there are no sidewalks in that area. It has an
extremely high volume of traffic, six to seven lanes in area.
I never see anyone walking near there, so the fact
(24:27):
that they were walking is crazy.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
So what's the name of the hotel, Jeffrey. It was
a kind of lodge of lodge, all right? So here's
I've sounds like that's legit and a cond of lodge.
I've heard of those before for people living in this hotel?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Or was it just see many cars in the parking
lot when we got there, nor during nor during the
night that we stayed there, there were other you know,
people staying there but not actually living.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
There all right, gone through the day, Jeffery, Is this
the o'condo?
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Here we go?
Speaker 7 (25:02):
I have the up here? Is the is the mall
where he was wrestling? Is the Ocono Lodge down the
street down here?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (25:10):
So it's like it was in a mile across the
street from seven to eleven.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Yeah, oh okay, I thought it the ways away yeah,
I thought it was closer. I thought I walked.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
I thought the Applebee's was almost next to the uh
A Kondo Lodge. All right, so yeah, it's a little
bit of a distance. Is that a little bit of
a high twenty five minute walk?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
All right? Do you actually hold this thought?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Do you have whatever the Alexandelo thing is that you
got from Beaumar or former program director? No, you didn't
get it, says Okay, Well, Dougie, double check with him,
coordinate and we'll be right back on Rover's Morning Glory.
Hang on in on the radio if you're Vanilla.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Rover's Morning Glory is back.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
All right, Charlie, what did do she's seen you from?
Speaker 12 (26:11):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (26:11):
This is from I guess from alex Angelo, be son.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Of our former program director. You remember him from many
years ago as a young kid he came into the
I mean, he wanted to be Justin Bieber, but we
used to goof on him a little bit more because
of his dad than him. He was a nice kid,
but you know we would goof on his dad Bomo
as he was called.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
What did you used to call alex Angelo, who's DJ
beat Boy before? What would you call him?
Speaker 4 (26:42):
All right's a long time.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
DJ meat boy Joy and I think that actually worked
out because he changed his name pretty pretty quick after that.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
I think he helped him out.
Speaker 7 (26:57):
I think Angelo is a much better name, the DJ
beat boy.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
The famously he was him and always parents I think
were very upset. There was a song that was created
because he had he had a song that he made
as a kid about I. You know, one of these
like a Justin Bieber young Justin Bieber kind of song,
and it was all like, oh, I want to be
with you and I like you.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
I like you not the band too.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
I Also he's saying, I also like you, you like me,
I like you like me, I like you too, And
we changed it to.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Uh, I like mano.
Speaker 12 (27:37):
Yeah, I think it was inappropriate. It was some of
our best work, a real true masterpiece. Uh anyway, so
all right, what do you have from him?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
He posted this on Instagram. Uh, there you go.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Angela writes, this is a little blurry because I was
trying to take it while driving, but I'm pretty sure
I was behind alex Angelo on the highway today as
you could see the what is that is that a
trailer hitch?
Speaker 2 (28:08):
What is this? Gusting? A raccoon tail. Yeah, a raccoontail.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
Hanging out of a So he played that, and then
we'll just jump out a bit where hanging off of
his like a belt loop or something.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Right, And guys, I'm just gonna say, we got to
bring these back.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
It's time. It's time. There he has it. He has
the tail on his.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
Pants, the WMMS jacket.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
That's sway. What kind of tail was that? It was
that like a squirrel tail. It was a gray tail
with a white tip.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Raccoontail.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
I think I think there are always raccoon tails, but
you might be right.
Speaker 7 (28:53):
I wonder if this is original, had to go buy
a new one to make this video, like a fox
would you even get?
Speaker 2 (28:59):
How would you.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yet one that fast? Like amazon? Same day raccoon tail?
I think he has this. I think he. I think
he perhaps he may be using this in his private
life and has this handy because he I don't think
he went out and grabbed one.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Well, good for him. So Jen says, that's a foxtail.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Are there? Gray foxes are there? I mean you've got
Arctic foxes. Oh okay, those are, but those are white.
There's different foxes. Okay, all right, I see red foxes
by by my house sometimes they are just cool to
They're cool to look at, like, I don't know, they
(29:42):
look different than like a cartoon fox.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Like they have longer legs than you would think. I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
They just I see him running around sometimes and they're
really they're really cool looking anyway, So good for him.
All right, Charlie, you said that you wanted to you
wanted to get in on this points game. You want
to get in on credit cards. Yeah, I've never warned you.
I've never had a credit card ever. Really, I mean,
(30:13):
the closest I ever came was I did get one
when I first started wanting to buy a house. I
got a credit card and had a three hundred dollars limit,
but it was even more than that. You had to
have you to give the bank three hundred dollars straight up,
but they would hold onto for you the entire time
you used it, to make sure that you'd pay it back.
(30:35):
And I never beyond that.
Speaker 7 (30:37):
I've never I think I returned that at some point,
So don't I don't have a credit card. No, I
have zero credit cards, so you still have no I'm curious.
I wonder, like if you ever check your credit score
because you have a mortgage, so you do have some
amount of credit history. What is your credit score like
compared to somebody that has credit cards, which they always
(30:59):
tell you all need these to build credit. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
You do it at the beginning, but just get rid
of it as soon as you can. I don't.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
You don't need it if you're paying your mortgage. I
have ATE seven ninety nine and seven ninety four. That's fantastic.
Good for you.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Oh that's that's a good score. Great, Yeah, you don't. Don't.
Speaker 7 (31:15):
I've never had one because I just knew I would
spend money I don't have, and I saw my friends
do it.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
I had other people do it growing up.
Speaker 7 (31:22):
They start getting credit cards for when we turned eighteen nineteen,
and I was like, I that I make enough mistakes.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
I don't need to add that to my pile of mistakes. Yeah,
I made that mistake.
Speaker 7 (31:32):
I never I've never spent anything I didn't have. I'd overdraft.
I would overdraft a lot. I would screw that up
a lot. But no, I've anti credit card.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
But I do like the idea that a young kid
I went probably about twenty or thirty thousand dollars a
credit card dead. I mean, it took me years to
clawn my way out of that debt. But you want
the points. You want a credit card that gives you
points rewards you want? Well, because since I was just
talking about his card yesterday, is and I'm still a
(32:04):
little confused.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
That's you spend money and then you get money back.
Speaker 7 (32:09):
But is it is it just actual dollars or is
it money that can only be used in Disney parks or.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Something or is it Disney one? I think it's this.
It's I'm on my wife's card. It's her card. I'm
on it.
Speaker 9 (32:20):
I know I do have a cash back one that
I used to pay that one, so I get double
you know all over the bus.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Good. Uh, that's actual cash. But the Disney with thing,
I think is just for Disney stuff. So you can
go to Disney stores every year anyway.
Speaker 7 (32:32):
So yeah, that's fine. I mean, yeah, you're paying your
trip throughout the year. Yeah, you're getting those points. That's awesome.
I see people have the.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
You want to get in on this, you want you Yeah,
I have, I have an airline card that I have.
I spend uh for all the business purchases. I put
on this airline card and then they, you know, I
basically can get I don't know, a million points and
this and that and upgraded level of They upgrade you
the first class all the time for free.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
That sounds awesome.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
I have another, My personal credit card has I don't know,
some sort of It has a bunch of perks and
a bunch of rewards and things like that. But all right,
so you want to get in on the game, you
might be a little bit late because a legal battle
has I did not know anything about this. This is
complete news to me, and I'm curious how this is
(33:24):
all going to shake out because there's been a legal
battle going on for more than twenty years. A lawsuit
was filed back in two thousand and five against merchants
versus Visa and MasterCard, and they said, we don't like
the fees that you are charging us. And you know,
(33:46):
every time that you use your credit card, if you
go to let's just say Walmart, for instance, you use
your credit card, your bill comes up to one hundred dollars.
When you check out, the credit card charges one hundred dollars,
puts one hundred dollars charge under your credit card, but
Walmart themselves only gets about ninety eight dollars and fifty cents,
(34:08):
so they are for the luxury of taking your credit card.
They are charged a fee, an interchange fee, two two
and a half percent, whatever the case might be. And
so these merchants were upset. They go, this is anti competitive,
this is a monopoly. Your charge you're gallaging us. This
(34:28):
is too much. And this is back in two thousand
and five that they filed this lawsuit. It still has
not been resolved twenty years later. If those same lawsuit,
I mean, this is the world's longest lawsuit.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
It has to be. It just goes on and on
and on and on.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
But now they have reached are very close to reaching
a settlement. And what this does is currently, if a
Walmart or a mom and pop store wants to accept
Visa credit cards, they have to not own they have
to accept any card with that Visa logo on there.
And depending on the kind of card that you have.
(35:05):
This is news to me, I did not know this.
Depending on the kind of card that you have, that
determines how much that merchant is.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Charged to accept that card.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
So some cards it will actually be more expensive for
the merchant to accept that card than other visa cards.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
I thought it was just a flat fee.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
I thought it was like two percent to and a
half percent, and it was that across the board no
matter what card was used.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
But it's not.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Somebody with a basic, no frills visa card they walk
into Walmart. Walmart might have to pay a two point
twenty five percent fee to accept that card. I go
in there with some card, or a Snitz goes in
with his Disney card where he's getting all his Disney
dollars as rewards.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Well, he pays for that same thing at Walmart.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Walmart is charged a two and a half percent that
fee for that, So it's slightly more. Now it's only
a slight difference, but it adds up to billions and
billions and billions of dollars per year.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
And this is the merchants want this so they can
get no. The merchants don't want The merchants don't want to.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
The credit card companies do that because the more rewards
that your credit card has, the more expensive it is.
You know, they have to provide you with those points
or those rewards or whatever what funds that the higher
interchange fee charged to a merchant funds that. So the
merchants don't like that. They say, we don't like that,
(36:38):
we're paying too much. So a deal is about to
be struck where merchants will no longer be required to
accept all Visa or all Master cards, so you can
walk into a store like you know how they have
the sign here, Visa accepted here, master Card accepted here,
American Express accepted here. Won't necessarily be the case. So
(37:02):
if they have Visa accepted here, that means you have
a visa card. You try to purchase it and it
will decline. I'll go, oh, sorry, now we don't accept
these kinds of visa cards. It doesn't We're not going
to take this card. You got to use something else.
And that will effectively ruin these rewards cards because all
(37:24):
these merchants, according to everything I've read, they go, we
pay too much for these rewards cards, the Disney card,
the United Airlines card, the whatever with all of these rewards,
the Chase Sapphire Reserve card that gives you access to
airport lounges, or this, that or the other. Nope, we're
(37:47):
not going to accept that category of cards. So this
could be extremely confusing when you walk into a store
you think you're gonna pay with your visa and they go, man,
we don't take we don't take those kinds.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
I mean, this is gonna be like the wilds.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Fact my debit card, no debit cards, completely unaffected.
Speaker 7 (38:07):
Wait all right, I don't care then, yes, I won't
just do it and well, just won't get one of
these credit cards.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Yeah, that's fine, forty it's not gonna get a bad
card new anyway. Yeah, that's not bad. This is bad
news for me though, Like I get all of these
rewards and frequent flyer miles and Snitzer, this is bad
news for you. You get all your Disney dollars and
in fact you're getting your Disney dollars, but then you're
using another card with cash back to pay your Disney
credit card bill off, So you kind of double dipping
(38:34):
there times.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Can you do that, Snitzer as much as you want? No?
I mean, could you also then get a third card? Yeah?
You could.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Why does everybody just do this and get an endless
loop and you buy get paid off eventually?
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Right?
Speaker 1 (38:46):
In other words, that they're mighty. They'll be paying you
just to buy stuff at some point.
Speaker 7 (38:51):
Yeah, but I'm saying you go ten cards deep you could, yeah,
if you could, and then you but the last card
the end of the train, you pay that off, sure,
and then you get all these points across.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Good.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
Well, that may be coming to a close because with
this new settlement now it hasn't been reached one hundred percent,
but it could be announced in the coming days. It's
going to be very very confusing for people when you
go into a store and we're all used to just
handing over your visa or your master card and that's it,
and you don't think twice about it. But now the
(39:24):
kind of card that you have, and they'll be broken
down into they gave there's like three I think they
have about three or four tiers of.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
These credit cards. Let me see here. I can't find it,
but they have three or four tiers.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
And so a merchant might reject the kind that is
a rewards card, or the kind that is a travel card,
or whatever the case may be, because they say that
the fees are too high. So it's going to get
very confusing and for anybody that is milking and not
even milking the system, but these are the rewards they offer.
(40:04):
This is what you get Snitzer is taking advantage of it.
You may soon be out of luck. Devin says, this
just happened to me last week at Costco. I tried
to pay with a master card, but it was declined
because they didn't accept it. I had to pay with debit.
I think they only accept it's a Costco. Somebody only
(40:25):
accepts one kind of card, and it might be Visa.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
I think it's maybe it is Costco. They only accept Visa.
Speaker 4 (40:31):
No, because I have a master card for my business and.
Speaker 6 (40:35):
They take it, take it, but you need to have.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (40:39):
I just went into a store, grocery store for an
order that I'm working on, and it is the master card.
Speaker 4 (40:46):
They now only take it with a pin.
Speaker 11 (40:48):
And it means that's debit, I think, right, So yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
Because Costco, I go there and I use my MasterCard.
Speaker 6 (40:54):
Debit card, right, so you have to have a pen
to get in now, So that's me.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Maybe if you had a credit card, a MasterCard, debit card,
maybe they would not accept that.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
I know that I did read in one of these
articles about this that some merchants like one only excepts Visa.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
They don't accept Master card. I go, that's crazy. Who doesn't.
Speaker 7 (41:13):
Well, there's one Brook for a while only just only
accepted Discover card.
Speaker 4 (41:19):
That's right, who and checks talking.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
About you do all the shopping, and you do all
your shopping, you'd forget every single time you get to
the end and they're like, you go and hand them
your card. They go, you don't take that? What are
you talking about cash? I mean door cash obviously they go.
What they're like, only Discover card. You're like, I've never
met this. I've never met mark.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Cards now except all cards. Now they finally did.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
I mean I might have been like a decade ago,
but you would it was way deep into the two.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
Thousands and you're still, who has a Discover card? I've
never even met an card. I would bring my check
book in. I would write checks there. Oh my cadro.
Speaker 1 (42:00):
Anyways, So so things could be changing there, which will
be it'll be interesting. Now some they're saying maybe there
won't be that big of a change because at least
with big merchants, because they are afraid that they will
lose sales if they stop taking some of the rewards
cards or whatever, and they don't want to lose out
on sales.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
So will everyone do this? I don't know. We'll see.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
There's a a commercial that Nike has put out.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
Apparently Nike is losing market share.
Speaker 1 (42:33):
I didn't know that. Did you guys know this? That
Nike their sales are slumping. They're losing market share to
Adidas and to Hokah. I guess, and they you're a
big Hoka fans, So they're they're losing market share. So
(42:54):
they're trying to do things in order to gain market share,
in order to stay relevant. Now they've been one of
these companies that is you know, they kind of go
out on I wouldn't even say they. I mean to
some extent they do. They go out in the the
social justice stuff to some extent. I know they would
(43:17):
rile people up from time to time. I remember something
I don't I don't was it something with Colin Kaepernick
or or was it something else I don't remember, but
people were burning their Nike shoes and their Nike shirts
and stuff like that. I took a dump on a
Nike shoe on yeah, so I paid for this. I'm
(43:40):
going to ruin it. Why he did that. I think
people were doing this in order because they were like
I don't want to. I don't want to advertise for
this company. I hate this company now for whatever reason.
And I don't remember if it was Colin Kaepernick taking
a knee or whatever the case might be, but they've
they've done a few things like that over the years. Nike,
they they would be what I would consider a progressive company.
(44:04):
I think we could all agree in that. So anyhow,
they are doing something to try to increase their market
share and stay relevant. And I want to play you
a commercial that they have now that they just created.
Speaker 2 (44:17):
Give me a minute, I'll get or I'll give you
a minute.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
You can fire up our MGTV for free at roverradio
dot com or with the Rover Radio app on your phone,
your tablet, or your TV. I'll play this for you
when we come back. We also have the Hizzy coming
up the news. What do you have on the way?
Speaker 2 (44:31):
Do gee?
Speaker 6 (44:31):
I was up at one point thirty in the morning
and I checked my phone, couldn't sleep, and I was
thinking of our board or our video guy, Anthony Snitzer.
Speaker 4 (44:42):
In the middle of the night. I was thinking of
Anthony Snitzer.
Speaker 2 (44:45):
I mean, what are you doing in the middle of
the night. You have your hot dream.
Speaker 1 (44:49):
Yeah, your neglig on, your whatever you're wearing to be welcome.

the middle of the night.

Speaker 1 (44:59):
Okay, snit's your wife. I hope she's not listening to this.
She will be jealous. Okay, we'll be right back on
Rover this morning. Glory, hang on.

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.
