Oh yeah, not only did John come bye, but he

And then here's a little food.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
All the women bothering him because he's you know, I
could barely get a he was signing stuff. You know,
John Bergen became plumbing supply. He's like a celebrity.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
So it was me and John Bergen and then the
rest of it was just a bunch of women staring
at him. Yeah, it was quite awkward, but anyway.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Oh so you're the ugly friend. Of course was always
a good looking one or a funny one that gets
the I don't like mine.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
So here's the thing. We going to use the restroom.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
We go.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
We can't do this, so we go out to his truck.
He has a Toto installed in his truck. That's what
he drives in, like instid of a driver's seat.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
He has the days.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
That's what I'm saying. John Bergen's truck has the Toto
for the driver's seat. That's how good these things are.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
It's pretty amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
You never ever to get out of your car.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
I'm for people to think I'm over selling that toilet.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
I am not.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
No BK pleming supply to it. It is the greatest
toilet of all anti.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Thank you for everybody. We will be gathering more school
supplies this Friday at Baronel's Pizza from ninety a m
Till noon. And by the way, you can start eating
pizza there. But this will go to uh children in
need in the Jaytown area.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yes, now, I was one of those kids because I
never had a pencil. My parents provided the pencils, but
I never had that can.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
I rewind real quick. And we also had a listener
come by and she was on our way to work
and she she dropped off a lot of school supplies.
I said, thank you so much, and I hugged her
and she said I had to do this because I
was one of those mothers.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Yeah that couldn't afford it.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Oh, now she can, all right, a couple of disappointing
stories and then I'll have my apology.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
It's all sorts of disappointment today.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
He is the real, the real recorder working in there
for when he gets his apology.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yes, recording. There are a few and far between. The
Saint Joe's Picnic is eighty sixteen. The fried chicken dinner.
What one hundred and seventy six years of fried chicken
dinners are not gonna happen this year.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
I don't know about you, but this sounds like something
that Big Hamburger might have a hand here, don't you
think so?

Speaker 1 (03:20):
All the restaurant people know my eighty six ing eighty
six the fried chicken.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
You can't say that anymore? Why oh, I can't.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
Okay, Instead of eating more chicken, it's eating enough. The
chicken's got the signs like the chicken.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yeah right, more good news. Yes, a month before schools
to set the start for JCPS, they need four hundred
positions to fill, with thirty days to go. Three hundred
and fifty of the four hundred are teaching positions, payal teachers,
mostly in middle school.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Gotshall hope this, goshall hope this doesn't cause the quality
of education to go down.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
That's a lot of jobs. If you're sitting at home,
need a job. I want to teach for the year.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
At Why did they start hiring teachers without degrees?

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Like, well, I think they already all right for me,
I've got you know, I think they already my wife's school.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
They last year they hired teachers who were still in
process of finishing their degrees.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
I don't mind, but I mean, like me, like, I
don't mind that I've not gotch them.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
I've got an eighth grade equivalency.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
I don't mind that.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
I don't could I teach seventh grade?

Speaker 1 (04:20):
What could you? But we could fill a show with
what you can't teach science.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
I want to teach science. Are one of those lab coats.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Here's how you get out of trouble. No, here's how
you smoke cigarettes and not get caught behind the trash
can behind Dawes High School. So you can coach wrestling.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
No, I want to teach science because I want one
of those white lab coats. And then every single day
we can make volcanoes that with baking soda.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
So that's not good news. Even worse to yesterday was
the shortest day in history. Scientific phenomenon is to lame phenomenon.
Earth is suddenly spinning faster as a result of the
Moon's position.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
To uh, he's dragging everybody down again.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
You're not gonna feel it speeding up?

Speaker 2 (05:16):
No I do. I'm very sensitive.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Can you're you're very sensitive to it? Okay? I could
feel it if in my more rambunctious days, I drank
too much and I had to lay on the ground
and I was like the Earth. I could feel the
Earth spinning. Uh, so it'll knock off just one point
six milliseconds from a typical twenty four hour day, but
it is the shortest day in recorded history. Another not

(05:43):
so good news. You know that Goliath VA Hospital that
they're finishing up on. It's just off the water Sit Express.
It is huge. I don't think anyone knew how big
that thing was gonna be. It's got its own water tower,
it has its own full size neighborhood water tower. They

(06:04):
are going to have. Not that there wasn't traffic on
those several exits Westport Road, Brownsboro Road, and then the
exit to seventy one. All of that is getting redone
to the tune of one hundred and thirty million dollars
over the next three years. Avoid that at all costs.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Now.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
That's the only way I can get on seventy one,
basically for my dentist is unless I drive up River
Road and come back. But that's that would be stupid.
But some days I do think it'll make sense. Here
are some more bad news, and then I'll get to
my apology, man, and I'll apologize for the show. Basically,
it's a it's a full apology. I didn't run this

(06:48):
by you all, but it's in a full apology for
a segment we did yesterday. But if you're having look
people work out of town, you're married, your wife goes
out of town, you're out of town. I think that
this is not unusual that you would if you would

(07:08):
FaceTime in a more intimate setting. Does that make sense? Sure?
Understand what I'm trying to allude to? Yes, yes, Well,
it seems now that the iPhone now knows when you are.
I saw this story the new update of the iOS
twenty six as Apple customers are reporting having intimate video

(07:32):
chats being frozen or interrupted with a warning label. The
warning label pops up onto the screen and it reads
audio and video are paused because you might be showing
something sensitive. So the phone knows you're undressing or in
an addressed undressed state on your FaceTime, so it's monitoring

(07:56):
your face time.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Well, again, this is what we know, This is.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
What we know. Correct? How long have they had that
technology and they're just saying it now or they're putting
this warning up. But we don't do that because we
don't trust that. We don't trust the FaceTime. We don't
trust that is that It's like no way, But I
know that a lot of people do because they miss
their wife or she misses you, and and that happens

(08:22):
because you've been away for three or four days, and
it's just like, hey, I'm lonely, you know whatever. It's
normal couple stuff. But I think it's concerning.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
It's very concerning. Plus, when I get home often it's
spring and summer, I'll go shirtless. So let's say I
pick up the phone, my wife facetimes me. They're going thing,
Oh my gosh, that lady has her shirt off. Look
at it because my body is really flabby. Yeah, and
it might freeze it up for no reason.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Man. Yeah, right, that's true. Apple promises it doesn't have
access to your photos or videos as.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
A result, wait, pinky promise.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
To the cloud. So if it goes to the cloud,
they have access to it.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
I want nothing to do with the cloud.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
I remember Jennifer Lawrence had videos taken from her phone.
Remember that, and they did very explicit. They were like
naughty of scale one to ten.

Speaker 4 (09:16):
Ten.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah, okay, so she had videos taking off her phone somehow.
So they Apple promises they don't have access to your
photos and videos. But now on FaceTime, if you're in
some sort of undress. It will stop the video and
give you a warning. Well, I assume that it lets
you go back to the video, But at that point,
who wants to go back to it?

Speaker 2 (09:37):
Does it? Does? Okay?

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Of a mood killer?

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Is it not? Okay? So I got the article here
because I pulled the exact same story and what they
tell you to make you feel better does not exactly
make you feel better. But getting back to where you say,
when it freezes up, can you go back to the video? Yes,
it have a red or a white slide where you
can slide back. But as far as them seeing what's

(10:03):
on your phone, this is what they said should make
you feel better. Oh, we don't see what's on your phone.
But your phone has an on device machine learning tool
to analyze all your photos and video attachments. So your
phone the AI thing, it's it's.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
I don't think other people can access it because you
know these cases whether they're like the FBI can't crack
the Apple phone. They say they can't. You've seen those
cases to where they're like, we need access to the phone,
that there's a ruling Supreme cord. Can they get the
access to the phone in this certain case? And a
lot of times it's I guess it's hard for anybody

(10:43):
else to hack into it. But Apple, Apple's got access
all right to the apology. So yesterday at eleven oh five,
we did a break mostly Dwight, and it made us sound.
I listened to it again today because I was concerned.
I was like, how did that make a sound? So

(11:05):
eleven oh five yesterday.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
It's just the introvert.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
The introvert break made all of us sound like a
Prima Donna movie star complaining, no, you know, nobody in
the room can I nobody can do eye level, don't
do not know, no one stare me in the eye.
I want water in a lemon people, you know, people
try to talk to me and it.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
Gets me upset.

Speaker 5 (11:29):
I got water and did people knock on my door?
And I hate, I hate when people knock on my door.
You will want to talk to me. I apologize for it.
It sounded it was twenty minutes of me, don't knock
on my door, big celebrity.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
And I don't want people jugging to me, and I
apologize for that. You're not gonna apologize.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
No, don't knock on my door, don't call me, text me.
I stand firm with everything I said.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Yes, it was deeper than don't text, don't It was
deeper than that, but it was. It's it made it
sound off. Don't knock on my door, don't talk to you,
no eye contact.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
No, I never said any of that.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
No, wonder must have a lemon in the room temperature.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
No, that's lime and you know it. Okay, get it right.
If you're gonna, if you're gonna throw my business out.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
There, I want to delete it from our podcast. You do, yeah,
I want to do it podcast. It's all I want to.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
A best of if we now it's not.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yeah, So listen, just this, just this morning, I thought, hey,
how great would it be if everybody in society had
a card, like almost like a playing card size. All right,
and you're having a conversation, somebody's talking, they're running, running
on and on and on. They just pull out that
card and show them you're not interested. But this is

(12:51):
a kind, this is a kind. Hey, just you know
I'm not interested in this conversation. And that way you
save your time and you that person's time. Yeah, I
wouldn't that be a polite Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yes, come up with it. It's a million dollar idea.
I'm just saying if if it John, if a celebrity
had these quotes in some sort of thing, you'd be
mocking it. You would be mocking it going listen to this, dude.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
I mean, you know, here's the thing though, Like entertainers,
doesn't matter if it's a you know, a music artist, comedian,
whatever may be. Anytime you're in this business, yeah you're
a weirdo. But whenever you're not on, as they say,
you kind of step back and maybe you want to
be more reserved. I think I think there's truth to
it for everybody in this sort of career field, whatever

(13:40):
you want to call it.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
I'm not talking about whether it's true or not. We
exposed ourselves to the Prima donna. Uh, I'm too good,
and that's not reflection on what we actually are.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
Tony just caught usself a celebrity.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Well, I mean, I am. You guys are working on it.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
I'm just a dude.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
There's just no doubt about it.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Just a dude. Just a dude doesn't want somebody knocking
on their door. We're in the right in the middle
of you know, Okay.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
I'm just saying the way it sounded. Man, you can
stick to the contest. I'm just saying the way it
sounded was awful, and if somebody else did it like
a celebrity, we would mock it. And we need to
mock ourselves, is what I'm saying. So I apologize for
the eleven oh five break. Do not seek it, do
not click on it, don't listen to it.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
But listen. Don't you think it was us mocking ourselves?
I think it was I I agree with because I'm
a weirdo. Man. I'm not saying it's normal. I'm just
confirming I'm a weirdo.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
You all are. It's self defense mechanisms to prove that
yourselves are right. That's what you're doing. You're avoiding that
someone else is telling you it sounded awful. But no,
you go with the No, we were mocking ourselves. We
were giving you see, you're going, you're going to the
Prima Donna thing I was giving. People were understanding and saying, no,
that's me too.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Thinking back, it's not me or John that caught ourselves
celebrities Madonna.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Mm hmm, France, let's do the joke of the day
or not?

Speaker 3 (15:11):
Oh gosh, are we doing it?

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah? We gotta do it. It's time, it's time, it's time.

say that word. I say that word.

Speaker 1 (15:35):

he's right.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Deny Hudson with you need a shirt with a QR code.
When they scan it, it says, don't talk to me.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
That's joke of the day, right there.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Hey this don't talk to me? All right? Here we go, boy,
I need that immunity music. I'm sorry, I'll start looking
for some better jokes.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Okay, yeah, I mean yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Uh hey, Fellas hay D. You know a new study
recently found the humans eat more bananas than monkeys.

Speaker 4 (16:08):
Wa.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
I thought to myself, you know what that is true.
I can't remember the last time I ate a monkey. Okay,
if that's not good, look okay, if that's not good.
I got some jokes about unemployed people.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Give me one.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
No, no, none of them ever won now, none of
them ever work.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
Oh, I'll give you that one.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
I'll give you that one that might have been even
better than the monkeys and in bananas.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
So did I dig myself out of the ditch? I'm
sorry slightly, I'll do better. Slightly, I'll do better, all right.
I may or may not have been phoning in the
jokes of the day, but here's why I will not. Oh.

He was a Wednesday Winter Value Tools Sales and located

(16:54):
at twenty five oh one Cristy Drive. Listen. If you
own a business, a construction business, or maybe or a
contractor remodel or whatever it might be, you got to
drop the theory that big box stores have better prices
and better quality. It is absolutely not true. But I
don't want you to take the guy on the radio's
word for it. Nope, I want you to go down

(17:16):
to Value Tool and Repair and see this. They have
better prices and better quality than the big box stores.

on the job and save on those bids and win
those jobs. Better prices, better quality, locally own the trusted
Value Tool Repair and Sales crit in and drive.

Nehere they are what I'm going to carry.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
A book home for when you get in trouble with
everyone's while, you want to bring a book home just
for you know the look. Well, Billy McFarland, the owner
of Fire Festival, he's got the brand up for sale
on eBay. If anybody wants to buy that brand, Hey,
you know what we're thinking about having a concert series.
Anybody got a brand that's just associated with massive fraud

(22:38):
and scandal. Anyway, if you want to buy the Fire
Festival logo and all the rights to it, you can.
You got to jump over to eBay. That's where he's
selling it to the highest bidder. McFarlane is offering up
the trademark, the ips, address, social media assets, everything belonging
to it as a writing bid right right now. Believe

(23:02):
it or not, the bid is up. Someone's willing to
pay two hundred eight two hundred thousand, eight hundred dollars
for it. Auction's gonna plawd number odd.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
Don't put eight hundred dollars on there and then I'll
sell it.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
No, I guess it's a bidding war. Oh okay, two
hundred thousand, eight hundred and one dollar.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
I said this on Nick Show this morning. He did
this story. If there's anybody that can take the fire
festival and make it something actually viable, it's it's Danny Wimmer,
who does too of the festival.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Why amen?

Speaker 3 (23:34):
I don't know if he would be interested.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Who did the story better me or Nick?

Speaker 3 (23:38):
I don't know. You should ask him?

Speaker 1 (23:40):
How many times in an auction do these rich people
pay too much for something just because they don't like
the other guy that's bid right have it? They don't.
They don't want that guy to have it. They don't
want to spend this much on whatever it is a
sculpture or a painting, but they don't want that guy.
Or the wife is elbowing the husband and going, don't

(24:02):
you let her get the peening?

Speaker 2 (24:05):
I never get like the you know, the weirdo stuff
like Elvis's toenail. Yeah, and they say okay, and he
goes up like thirteen million.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
You know what you do with it. Well they did.
They had a lock of his hair. A couple of
years ago. We did that story. I don't know how
much it went for it.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
Maybe the armpit hair is a little bit more expensive
than the hit hair.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
A fly from the Taylor Swift eras tour. I remember
seeing that a couple of years ago. What a dead
fly that was in a jar that someone killed at
the stadium for the Taylor Swift concert.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
No, I'm sorry on that case, and it's worth it
was his.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
Nosehars going back. Okay, so the McFarland brand Fire Festival,
it's connected. I just watched that documentary last week and which,
by the way, it's a great documentary, was for it,
and it's brutal. It's brutal. But the name is associated
with fraud and scandal and ripping people off. What would
be the advantage. I started thinking about other brand names

(25:00):
that the brand name took him down and the very
first one I thought of, and John, you'll be too
young for this. But in the seventies and eighties, there
was a weight loss supplement candy to help curb your appetite.
It was a powder, I thought, No, it was candy.
It was called AIDS.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
Right before the age epidemic as AYDS.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
It was called AIDS and it helped you lose weight.
And then later in the eighties.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
No, it was. It was pretty close like the product
came out.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
No.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
No, that's where I'm getting ready to say it, because
I thought the exact same thing. I thought the product
came out late seventies, early eighties. Yeah, it did not.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
It came out right before age That's what I thought.
It did not, And it was spelled differently.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
It's AYD yeah, yea yeah, okay, age candy, appetite suppress it.
Here's what's crazy. Here's where I'm going with this. It did.
In fact, when the AIDS disease came out.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
You lost weight.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
You lost weight with the disease, and it killed the brand,
you know, the AIDS brand. Here's my point. That candy
and that appetite the present. It had been around since
the nineteen forties. I did a little research on it
this morning.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
Well, so imagine that you're around, You're around for forty
plus years, and then a disease comes and it kills
the brand.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
I've watched there's a movie Matthew Modine is in it.
He plays a doctor for the CDC when the first
stages of AIDS came out, and they were the ones.
He was the one saying, you've got to test everybody
that gives blood, and they were and the everyone was
like that will it will make every it will make
the price astronomical for people donating blood. And he goes,

(26:45):
You're going to save millions of lives if you do this. Uh,
and now they test for everything when you when you
give blood.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
Well, yeah, that's what took out that poor child in Indianapolis.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
It was it was, it was sad. And let me
tell you, Johnny, it was an awful time to be
an American because we we the whole world treated people
that had age like leprosy like he didn't want to
be in the same room kids, kids that got it
from blood transfusions, couldn't go to school. When Rock Hudson
in France when when they they he knew he had it,

(27:17):
but he was in the hospital in France and they
identified him and that's how he got out. He had
to fly on a seven forty seven by himself.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
Oh wow.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
And it was hard to find people that would work
the plane.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
I remember it was a weird scene because that's when
we were starting to get active that way, or had
been already active that way. And you never do if
you just kissed a girl.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Oh no, yeah, you know. Well, I was working in
Key West as the day cook. I was in Key
West with it. I was a day cook at the
HOOKI low.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
I had a nice, safe job at a bath house.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
And I could imagine Magic Johnson how he was treated.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
He normalized it.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
And the name alone, I mean, come.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
On, he he normalized it. And then Princess Diana and
when he went in and picked that baby up that
had age, and that ran on every newspaper in the
world and it sort of helped with things. But before that,
it was it was really pariah. I mean, it was crazy.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
John Auden, you're a gen Z. I want to know
if you're going to take advantage of this. It's called
a brand new thing that your generation's doing. They're called
micro retirement, micro retirement, micro retirement. A lot of Gen
Z crowd is nervous that they'll never have the opportunity
to retire, so a lot of them are doing what

(28:36):
they call micro retirement.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
This be the whiniest generation kidding.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
It's funny I had. Whenever I was in college, there
was somebody who came and spoke to all of my
classes and they basically just straight up told us, like,
you guys will never retire.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
Somebody so stupid. It's so stupid. I mean, you'll get
you'll figure it out. Houses are three hundred grand, You'll
figure it out, dude.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
We did. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
Do you think in nineteen eighty eight, eighty nine, when
houses were one hundred and ten thousand dollars average price,
that was an astronomical number for eighty seven we figured
it out. Yeah, figure it out.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
Yeah. Before then they sold them for twelve raspberries.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
I would like to pay my mortgage in pitcoin.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
So what is this micro retirement? What is it?

Speaker 1 (29:21):
It's semi retirement? What is it?

Speaker 2 (29:23):
Okay, so it's basically screwing up your wife and here
we'll go into that here in a second. But basically,
there's different ways you can do a micro retirement, quitting
your job and then getting a new one whenever you're
ready to work again. How much savors did you get
up at that age? They did that, But I still
can't do that. I could.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
I don't have work enough to get enough money in
retirement to take three or four years off and then
go back to work. Yeah, oh, I don't know. I
think that's a bad or a month or a month
it does it's a bad idea. Well, how do you
say retirement, you're not promised tomorrow?

Speaker 2 (29:56):
How do you put it in for one k?

Speaker 1 (29:57):
Okay, but guess what, you're off for three four years
every ten years. I'll take that's not a bad idea.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Well, you're a stupid so nothing. Just surprised me that
you would go on one of those.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
See. I would have seen it as like when you
retire from your full time gig, you just go do
part time work until you're til you're done.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
No jedge, here are your twenties. How are you going
at a part time job.

Speaker 3 (30:18):
Like you're doing as somebody who's a twenty year old.

Speaker 4 (30:20):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, is your crowd? Yeah, we
had you're a daddy now it's true. Ten years ago
we had a salesperson. We were at the old building
and he was twenty seven. He had acquired over one
hundred thousand and his four oh one k already and
he said, you know what, I want to go hiking
in Colorado. He was rolling like he was. He was
one of the good ones. He was like he was
killing it. And he was like, I say, are you leaving?

Speaker 1 (30:42):
He goes, yeah, I'm just gonna take a couple of
years off go hiking in Colorado. Man. And I was
like no, no, and he was just like, no, that's
what I'm gonna do. Spent his four one So he
did this. He spent his four oh one for like
three or four years, went back to work.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
That's really smart, especially when you catch in your four
one k at that age to lose forty if they
can buy the forever machine, no right, live forever machine.
Here's another way they do it, setting up arrangement with
their boss that lets you take unpaid frequent work breaks. Okay,
they're been quitting your job, and then I'll get a
new one whenever I need money.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
You mean, uh, the business hires you in under the
understanding that you're going to take two or three months
off every other every year.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
So here's my pitch. I'd love to work for you,
mister bank president, but uh, you need to let me off.
Don't worry, it's without pay. Whenever I want, as long
as I want Okay.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
I will say this, they have finagled their way into
a better existence. Like the corporations have to sort of
kowtow to this generation with those situations because we would
never do that in a million years. But that generation
is like, no, no, no, They kind of have some
of these companies by the.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
At all because of noah. Okay, here's the last one,
and these these are micro retirements that the gen Zers
are doing.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
Okay, but who's smarter though? I mean, if you'd have
told us look, and they did, you're working the next
thirty six hours and you're making seven dollars an hour.
We did it because obviously this is the business you
want to be in when we were young. But but
we did anything and even the jobs we had before,
we would have done anything our boss told us to do.
But this generation has said, no, I'm not doing that.
Who's smarter?

Speaker 2 (32:22):
We are?

Speaker 3 (32:23):
Are we?

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (32:25):
Here's the argument for the gen Zers though, I'm doing
the same. If they take their quote unquote micro retirement
now and they go out, you know, hiking in Colorado
or whatever it may be, they're going to be healthy
enough to fully enjoy it instead of you know.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
That's what I'm saying, so you enjoy your retirement through
your life.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
Stop.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
I'm on the side of gen Z.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
Now on your crutches going up the mountain. Whatever.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
And notice how the gen Zers they just interrupt you
and they let me tell you your story.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
Especially we get somebody from the Fry Festival event coordinator
is coming in right now.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Oh really, Oh yeah, okay, let me explain it to you.
A gen Zer. Once upon a time there were two ants.
One little worker aunt. He worked all his life to
build up and save up food for the winner. Then
there was a slacker gen zer aunt micro retirement, It's
not kidding it, that would barely save anything, and then

(33:24):
came winner. You know what happened. You know what happened.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
What happened. He stole the other squirrels. Then the other squirrel.
The other squirrel was a socialist, and he said, I
know that you were tall summer long to get those nuts,
but I'm gonna tall. I think I deserve half those
nuts because it's the right thing to do.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
It was a murder squirrel.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
He was a socialist murder squirrel. Uh, I'm on the
side of gen Z on this one. You're enjoying your retirement,
while you can every couple of years on your in
your life. I'm not I'm not mad at this.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
Yeah. Then when you retire, you expect us to just
another person living off the taxpayer's back.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
But we're not retiring. That's the thing.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
No, you'll never retire, of course they will. The problem
is medical science is going to let you be healthy
and physically fit at like eighty five. Yeah, yeah, that's right.
I want to want I said, you're going to live
to be one hundred and ten. Bro, you know in healthy?

Speaker 2 (34:21):
You know what the smart squirrel and the smart ant
like to do. You want their favorite thing to do us?

Speaker 1 (34:25):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
They get in their smart or uh squirrel or at tower, Yeah,
and look down on the other ant from their Pella windows.
They're beautiful Pellow windows.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
It's a stretch.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
It's not a stretch either, Pello windows, baby house. Those
energy bills steep in the summer, steep in the winter.
It probably is your windows, your doors. Let's get beautiful
Pellow windows and doors. Why Pella, because they're the best.
Why am I saying that? Well? Quite frankly, the best
rate a number one in highest quality, number one for craftsmanship,

(34:57):
number one and highest value plus Pellow windows and yours
not just made in the USA, baby, one step further
made right here in Kentucky by your friends, your families,
your neighbors. You're gonna love your pillow windows. But don't
take the guy on the radio's advice. Go by and
see them yourself at their showroom in Factory Lane or
right now at work. Go to pell Alulva dot com.

(35:17):
And by the way, you Compella now hey later all right.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
Christian Brothers Roofing. I had my roof fixed yesterday by
Christian Brothers, and I said do I have to be there?
They're like, no, it's your roof. We got it. So
they came by yesterday, fixed my roof and took care
of it. It was perfect. That's how they roll, man.
They are family owned since ninety six. They are a
top notch locally family owned company. Christian Brothers Roofing. Go
