Joined Jack and Akey Live weekday mornings from six to
ten on one O two WVAQ.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
It's been said that the road to hell is paved
with good intentions, and I'd like to demonstrate that for
you now talking about an incident that happened yesterday in
Fairmount on Pay It Forward Day. Pay it Forward Day, Yes,
so you're trying to be nice message in here, Well,
people were trying to be nice until this guy ruined
it and now he's being chained and made to feel
(00:40):
guilty because he did not participate and pay it forward. Okay, okay.
So he texted in here and said he was in
a chain at he named the restaurant, but I'm not
going to in Paramoun's fast food restaurant, right, And he
said that he came rolling up in the cashier told
him that the pay it Forward chain was seventeen cars deep. Okay,
(01:05):
it's been going on for a while, and he was like,
I don't want to get involved in this. I'm not,
he said. Before he even pulled away, two women followed
him and started yelling, you ruined it for everyone?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
What uh huh?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
He adds, like I owed them something, He explained, This
is interesting. I didn't pay for the car behind me
because I don't know who those I don't know who
those people are. I don't know if they deserved a
free meal, what if they're rude or bad people?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Okay, And that's something that I think that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
People tend to kind of leave out of this paid
forward equation. You know, there are some people who maybe
don't deserve a free meal from you or anybody else.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
I am more shocked that it was seventeen cars deep.
When I use the mobile apps that obey can pay.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
For my meal and I can't pay for anybody else's.
So yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
That's something I didn't really consider because when I'm being
nice to somebody, I don't stop them and ask them
for a.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Rundown of how they what their behavior is.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Like, Like, I'm just hoping that if I hold the
door for somebody, then they will, in turn, you know,
go do something nice for somebody else, and that will
cause a ripple effect, like something as small as that show.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
You're saying during World War Two, you would have held
the door for Hitler your words.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
No, No, that is not what I.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Hitler.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
No, I'm just trying to be nice to pay it forward.
I don't really know what he's doing.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
No, there would have been a very invisible string that
would have pulled tight across the doorframe, and I would
have made sure that, you know, when I held the
door open, that was already in place. Somebody else was
holding that string, so he would have tripped on his
way through.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
But yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I think this is an interesting idea though, from the texter,
that maybe the people behind you are truly terrible people,
and maybe you don't want to do anything nice for
awful people.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
M M mean.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah, or it's interesting, yeah, or you know, I mean,
maybe you are just dead inside. Maybe your heart is
black and you were born without a soul and you
don't want to participate. This is really what it comes
down to. Should you be shamed into participating in paying
(03:29):
it forward, regardless of whether it's the pay it Forward
day that's at aside or not, a lot of people
do to pay it forward thing paying it forward. If
you are shamed into doing it, that makes it hollow.
I mean, this is supposed to come from the goodness
of your heart. It's supposed to be a gesture that
you make of your own free will because it's something
(03:53):
you want to do. If you are simply doing it
because you don't want to get yelled at, that's halfo then.
I mean, that's just like if you're in a relationship
with somebody and you tell them you love them and
you do things for them because if you don't, they're
going to get mad.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
At you, right right, So what.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Do you guys think here? Eight eight eight seven seven
seven sixty six forty call us text us at that number.
You can also text us at three five six five one.
Should people be shamed into paying it forward? And also,
how do you feel about maybe doing nice things for
people you don't know who could be terrible people? Does
that affect your decision at all? What kind of reaction
(04:34):
are we seeing Nikki on the textual line before we
get to the studio line eight eight eight seven seven
seven sixty six forty Off you go?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Then, okay, all right, I've done nice things for people
so many times that they have done bad things back
to me that I have trouble doing anything for people.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Oh, that's too bad.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Yeah, that is very sad.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
That is unfortunate, and that's that's really hard to keep
your chin up if you keep getting burned by people.
If it happens enough times, you do eventually go, well,
that's it. I'm gonna pull back on that.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
So maybe this person in Fairmount, maybe that's what happened
to them.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
They've been burned so many times.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
A guy texted in, Yeah, it has been burned a
few times. Just like people, you're on your own.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I have a text here from somebody
who works in the food service. Yes, I've worked food
service for twenty years. Pay it forward is such a
pain to do. Leave your change for the next car
to apply to their order, or tip the workers. Yeah yeah,
I think that's better, like leave your change for the
next person rather than paying for their entire meal, because
(05:38):
that just I think it's an easier way to do things,
obviously for the person working, as they have texted this
tip in. Yes, but also it takes the pressure off
the car behind you to pay for the next vehicle.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Yeah, I agree with that, And also I agree with
why don't you tip the drive through worker?
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah, I mean they probably appreciate that. Can you do that?
I mean, are are they allowed to accept tips?
Speaker 5 (06:02):
There's usually a jar.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah that's true. I have seen those jars. Yeah that's true. Okay,
all right, so tip them or at the very least,
don't drive off with their tip jar. At the very
at the very least, don't steal their tips. Yeah, okay,
anything else you want to hit before we go to
the funes here?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Oh gosh, there's a bunch of them here, a lot
a pay it forward chain shows who has bad character
because it stops with them.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
Poor character, shame him? He is selfish?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I don't know that it's poor character. I think it's
just maybe not as generous as other people. Perhaps maybe,
let's say on the thrifty side, maybe could be.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Maybe you know, it's not payday yet and they're going
to get their.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Value me on to get out of there there?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
What maybe they don't have it? How about that?
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I mean I told that charming story about to back
in the day when I was broke with my dope
friend and we went to McDonald's and it got a
burger for ninety nine cents and tore it in half. Yeah,
and split it because we only had one dollar between us.
What if a pay it forward line was going on
and I'm like, I can't pay for the people behind me,
and then a bunch of people start running up to
(07:18):
the car, going.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Hey, you pie craft, pay it forward. You're selfish.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah, you don't know other people's financial situations. And to
bring it back around, this is supposed to be about
the goodness of your heart, what you want to give,
not what you're forced to give. Yes, okay, let me
just try to move on here before people come in
and start to.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
A gosh, thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
I don't know what their problem is.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
People a bunch of taunting jerks. You are on the
Jack and Nikki Show, the only only good morning? Hell
are you fine? How are you? Oh?
Speaker 6 (08:03):
I'm good good Okay, I'm just the guy that's about
to pay it forward. Well, he's saying he didn't want
to pay for somebody behind him because he didn't know
if they were good people. So was he the car
in front of him? Did they pay for him? So
on asking because he said the people behind him, he
(08:26):
didn't know because they were good people, right, or if
they were good people right, so the car in front
of him, if they paid for him. Yeah, they didn't
know if he was the good people.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
I don't think he said if he accepted it or not,
because you can turn it down.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah, it's my understanding that they did pay for him,
because he said it stopped with him, So I guess
they did pay for him. But you're right, they they
don't know anything about him or what his character.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
Is, and they could judge doing something like that.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah, they took a chance on this guy, and maybe
they were wrong to do that.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
Yeah, people behind you, he didn't know.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Well, look, it's kind of it's a gamble, right, It's
it's a fifty to fifty proposition. The people behind you
may be great people, they may be horrible people. You
don't really have any way to know that. As Nikki said,
it's more about the gesture itself than about the people
who may or may not deserve it. Yeah, right, absolutely.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
If he didn't want to participate, he just let's say,
you know sorry, yeah right, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
You don't have to participate.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
You could just be like, you know what, no, I
don't want to let me just pay for my meal
and then whatever's already in the tank can be passed
on to the car behind.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Him or how about this. He could drive around with
a short questionnaire in his passenger seat, and anytime he
finds himself in this situation, he gets out and he
walks back to the car behind them, right, and he says, Hey,
I've been asked to participate and pay it forward. I'd
like to ask you a few questions. And then he
just runs down the battery of question and then he
determines whether or not they deserve to have their meal
(10:03):
paid for. What do you think about that?
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Hey, that's you know they were what there were seventeen cars.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
In line, well that had already gone through. I think
that's convenient. It is, in no way a huge waste
of everyone's time. It's not going to slow things down.
If you've got some jackass stanning around with the clipboard
pestering strangers with a series of questions. Yeah, all right,
you know what, I might start doing it, man, Thanks.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
For the Clay, appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
The Jack and Nikki Show one two w v AQ.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Time for a quick visit to the wonderful world of
TikTok TikTok.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
If you haven't heard of the TikTok app, it's the.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
App popping off on phones everywhere. TikTok, TikTok app.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
TikTok passed five hundred and million active music.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
This is a TikTok trend going viral.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Put that on TikTok.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Yes, America's mental illness factory where we search for nuggets
of gold, not unlike a prospector in California. Nick, That's
how it works, that's right. Yeah, you have to sift, Yes,
you got to sift through the garbage until you find
the good stuff. Obviously, we complain endlessly around here about
(11:23):
roads and road construction and terrible roads and traffic backups,
but there are worst things that can happen, like being
trapped in a waymo driverless car. And this is something
that's happened more than once. It has happened again, and
as luck would have it, the people who were trapped
(11:43):
in the way Moo did the right thing and ran
to TikTok to share their story. Here's how it went down.
This is the most insane thing.
Speaker 7 (11:52):
We're in a weimo here, it was going the wrong way.
We called customer support it stuff is right here and
would let us out of the car.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
There's no you can't talk to anybody and give directions.
Speaker 7 (12:03):
So then we're talking to customer support, which is who
knows where we're talking to someone. We were in the
car until five minutes and eleven seconds and I said,
I'm going live on TikTok if you don't love USULL
and it's still stopped.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
She's threatening to go to TikTok.
Speaker 7 (12:19):
And we kept saying, hey, we're on we're on a highway,
please let it like move the car. Cars kept honking
at us, and it would not move.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
It would not let us out.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
No one for customer support would actually move the way mo.
So now we were walking and our Waymou is still there.
This is insane WAVEMO. I know it's sound dramatic when
I'm saying cars are flying by us, but they were
flying by some hawking because it's right at the curve
the way.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Moo just stalks.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Wow. And they're dangerous pushing the driverless cars for convenience.
So this is part of the story that they leave
out right. Yeah, if the thing goes nuts while you're
in there, pretty much on your own, yeah, unless of course,
you contact WEAMO and threatened to.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Go live on TikTok.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
And people don't get a hold of this car. I'm
gonna blast you on TikTok. Sure quick, somebody dial into
the car, log in, get that thing stopped. Yeah, that
is pretty terrifying though. Honestly, if you're inside of a
vehicle that you don't have any control over it, you
can't get out. You can't get out, You're locked in.
It's gonna do whatever it wants to do. I guess
you're just kind of looking around going, well, hope there
(13:27):
are no lakes or rivers around here.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Right, yeah, and pending the day, like your climate control,
you may sweat to death, freeze to death?
Speaker 6 (13:37):
Right?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Who know you're on the line with wayiamo. Look, I
know the car's driving to my death, but can you
at least turn the air conditioning on it? Here, We've
got a story for you now about an angry mom
who is she angry with Sam's Club because, according to her,
(14:00):
they let her five year old daughter consume eight free
samples of an energy drink.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Yeah, that's right, Nikki. Wow is the correct reaction?
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Eight free samples of the energy drink?
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yeah? Now, to be fair, she said, this particular energy
drink is slightly healthier than other energy drinks, but still
contains two hundred milligrams of caffeine. Okay, I guess this
kid was bouncing off the wall after having eight samples.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
See how big are the samples?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Well that was going to be my first question. Okay,
fair enough, we got there. She ran to social media
to complain bitterly, as you do in current year, and
social media users are divided on whether this was the
responsibility of the worker to not give the child these samples,
(14:52):
or if it's the responsibility of the mom to look
out for the care and nurturing of her own child. So,
since she ran to social media to cry about it,
naturally I ran to the radio to cry about it
because we host a radio show, and this is where
we do all of our winging yes and prodding and
(15:15):
crying and questioning of the masses. Eight eight eight seven
seven seven sixty six forty. That is the number to
call and or text. You can also text us at
three five sixty five one. Let's get into it, Nikki Drake,
who is responsible the Sam's Club employee or the mother
of the child? Your witness?
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Mainly it's the mom she should be watching after her children.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Yeah, it's the mom.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
But my question, I guess how old was the kid?
Do we know?
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Let's see here five years old.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Who in their right mind would be giving samples of
an energy drink to a.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Five year old?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
See there you go in that, because that's why we
have the.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Debate, right right, Like I understand, like you know, they're
probably getting paid minimum wage. It's a part time job,
I'm sure I don't who knows, like, But at the
same time, like, it's an energy drink. It's more than coffee,
like for a full serving, so like nobody gives coffee.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
No, no, don't give the energy drink to the kids.
But also watch your kid.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Let me make sure I understand the argument you're making
here and correct me where I'm wrong. Okay, you're saying
that this employee, yeah, is standing there thinking I'm making
lousy wages. They won't put me on full time. Here
comes a five year old. I'm going to get back
at this company for what they're paying me and the
(16:40):
hours they're giving me. By juicing up this five year
old and setting her loose on the store and her
own mom, is that basically the argument that.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
I don't I don't know if that's exactly it.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Saying it's malicious I'm not saying it's malicious. I'm just
saying it was just like, eh, whatever, just take the samples.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Nobody else is taking them from me, So just here
have the sample.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Okay. This is really an interesting debate because, Okay, I
agree with you and where you started. If you're the parent,
it's up to you to take care of your own child. However,
if you are in a situation like this and your
child kind of wonders off in a store, there may
be an aisle or two away from you. They're five,
(17:23):
it's not a big panic situation. I mean, you know
that she's there close by somewhere. You just don't expect
a stranger to be, you know, filling her up with
energy drinks. That again, what what Any adult who encounters
a five year old should probably not agree to give
(17:46):
them samples of an energy drink. Maybe a single sample,
but even that at five I think is pushing it.
I think maybe any responsible adult would say, no, honey,
I'm afraid you're for this. I have one of your
parents come over. Yeah, So it seems like the correct
(18:06):
answer here is negligence on the part of both the
parent and the employee. Yes, it seems like This should
be a two tier system. It should be layered. Layer
number one. You're the parent, You're responsible for the child. However,
if that fails, layer number two, you're an adult. You
(18:28):
look out for children in general.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Yes, yes, right.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
It takes a village sometimes.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Sometimes it does.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
And let's just hope that that's not the village idiot.
Who is and they're making these decisions? We have spoken?
What say you? Let's get to the judgment that is
pouring in on the studio and textual lines after this
mom slammed Sam's Club on the internet for letting her
(18:55):
five year old daughter consume eight free samples of an
energy you drink. Who is it fault here, the mom
or the employee who handed out the samples? Nikki, what
are you seeing on the textual line?
Speaker 4 (19:07):
On the text line, let's see totally the mother's fault.
First of all, you only take one sample, not eight. Second,
you need to watch your child, what your child eats
and drinks and takes from a store.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Period.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Okay, so I would just interject in that starting out
totally the mother's fault. You take one sample, not eight,
But shouldn't the employee keep you from taking eight?
Speaker 5 (19:32):
You would think there would be a cutoff.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
But it's a five year old. So, like, how do
you like you still have to go? I guess, like.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
Back to the hey, go get your parent?
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Yeah situation.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Okay, I like. I like the solution that you and
I came up with, the two tiered system.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Two tiered system.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Yeah, the parents primarily responsible.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Got to have a backup plan.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
In a society, you have a secondary responsibility. Any adult
in any reasonably run society should be looking out for children. Yes,
so two tears, please continue.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
Okay, more texts here.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
The employee should have said to go get the parent,
and then if the mom says yes, that's on her,
not the employee.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
That's logical, It makes sense, and it's also a good
way to I think, maybe avoid some problems. Yeah, because
then if the kid spazzes out and starts climbing the walls,
you can go, well, the mom signed off on it.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Yeah right, Okay.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
Where was the mom?
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Good thing it wasn't a child with a peanut allergy
and peanut samples.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Ooh, yeah, where was the mom?
Speaker 2 (20:38):
That's again another fair point.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Yeah, that's a scary point.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yeah, this is why we take the calls and text.
Let's go to the studio line triple eight, triple seven,
sixty six forty. You are on the Jack and Nikki show,
which you got, Good morning Jack.
Speaker 8 (20:51):
Yes, it's the parent's responsibility.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Okay, they're the parents.
Speaker 8 (20:57):
Not going to say which Sam's Club that I have
employed at a Stams club? To answer one question, the
size of the sample would be less than two ounces, okay,
being a responsible adult. It's that station that is questionable
sometimes because I mean, that's the kind of job it is.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Right, Yeah, wait, you're saying it's not the kind of
job where they hire responsible adults. Is that on the application?
Are you a responsible adult? Check this box? I am not.
Speaker 8 (21:25):
Okay, it should be all right, But the bottom line is,
I don't know how many parents you've seen in retail
public situations, but there are many cases where if he
would have said no, you'd have had the parent over there.
Why aren't you giving my child a sample?
Speaker 2 (21:42):
You know, that's a good time, what it is, that's
a very good point. Yea. So maybe the employee was like,
I don't need the aggravation. I don't need a big
fight with a parent. Just kid, take whatever you want.
Speaker 8 (21:52):
Yeah, and plus the view of energy drinks, you know
they're not dangerous standards. Yeah, little kids, I think they
might be, but you know, very well drink them all
the time, so they're not thinking about while this kid's
gonna get bug.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
The employees not handing out for their kid. Yeah, samples
of whiskey. Okay, all right, I'm glad you called, man.
Thank you have a great day.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
You do you two?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
I hear a lot of ticket ticket tabbing going on
over there, NICKI drake, are you crunching caffeine numbers?
Speaker 4 (22:25):
I am crunching caffeine numbers because the caller said it's
usually less than a two ounce pore.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
So I went with a two ounce pore, okay, all right?
Speaker 4 (22:33):
And I looked up a common energy drink served at Samsung.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
Okay, is stocked there.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
So twelve flow ounces two hundred milligrams of caffeine. Okay,
So eight samples at two ounces, at sixteen ounces, that's
more than one can of the energy drink. So that's
two hundred and sixty six point seven milligrams of caffeine,
which is more than sixteen ounces of coffee caffeine. Coffee
(23:03):
caffeine would be one hundred and ninety for the two
cups of coffee.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
It was my understanding there would be no math.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
The Nerve Center of North Central West Virginia Jack Loger
and Nikki Drake on one O two WVAQ.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I have news. I do have news. What kind of news?
News that makes West Virginia look good out of South Carolina.
It's a woman who called nine to one one after
an alligator attacked her husband. How does this make West
(23:44):
Virginia look good? Well, because we don't have to put
up with alligator attacks around here, and now do we?
You can freely move about in your yard, you can
do whatever work you need to do, and not fight
off an alligator with a race. Now, I want you
to listen to how surprisingly calm this woman is during
(24:05):
this call, which indicates to me that alligator attacks are
something they're used to in the South. I mean, I
think around here, something anywhere near this happened, we would
be freaking out. I'm like, yeah, you know, it's an
alligator attack, it happens. Check this out.
Speaker 9 (24:20):
Hello, my husband's just been attacked by an alligator. He's
bleeding everywhere, his leg is a mess.
Speaker 10 (24:26):
Okay, and is he conscious and alert.
Speaker 9 (24:28):
Yeah, he's up and walking.
Speaker 10 (24:30):
Where is the wound? He says, on his leg and
his arms leg.
Speaker 9 (24:33):
And he had he had his arm in his mouth,
and I poked an alligator in his eye.
Speaker 10 (24:39):
Okay, so let's make sure we get a clean cloth
on top of that wound. Okay, Okay, I know it's
probably not gonna be able to do much, but let's
try to limit as much of the bleeding as we can. Okay,
how long will it take for somebody to be here?
We're getting them on the way lessons signs right now,
I need to just standing phone me okay, Okay, I've
got everybody coming to the legs and sirens.
Speaker 9 (24:57):
He's got a contusion on his head and he's arm.
It's his arm that the alligator had these mouths around.
Speaker 10 (25:03):
All right, So this occurred in the backyard. Is that crucs?
Speaker 9 (25:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (25:07):
Okay, all right, and so just some clear the alligator?
Is that present anymore? Is that cruck in the eye
and he.
Speaker 9 (25:13):
Finally let go.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
In the eye?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Yeah, that's right, Just just another day in South Carolina.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
That's how I get coworkers to leave the studio. I
just poke them in the eye and they walk out.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Fighting an alligator off of your husband while he's doing
some yard work another day in the South, right, Yeah,
it's interesting the way that call plays out too. When
she says, I poked the alligator in the eye, and
then he says, okay, well, let's get a cloth on
that wound. It sounds like he's saying, hey, treat the alligator. Okay,
let's make sure the alligator doesn't lose vision in that eye.
(25:45):
That's most important thing. But what about my husband?
Speaker 1 (25:47):
What about him?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
He'll be fine, all right, we have an ambulance comes
for him. Let's look out for the alligator. Yeah. Again,
life in the South, it's to me the alligator things terrifying.
I mean, Jessica and I have been down there many
times on vacation, and you do see random, wayward alligators, Yes,
crossing the street, walking through golf courses, just kind of
wandering around, and it's absolutely terrifying to me.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Yes, I agree, it's they're a part of the community.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
Weird.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah, I saw one of them was running a local
school board meeting and I said, okay, you know what,
this is too far. Why not play this for you guys.
This is a cat performing amazing grace with her owner. Okay, okay,
all right, so a duet between an owner and a cat.
It's amazing grace.
Speaker 11 (26:38):
Listen very carefully, ohmazzy, oh sweet see.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Like all right, that's adorable.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
That is very adorable.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Say there's your pets.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Now, here's the thing. I don't know if it's because
I have a wicked case of Toxoplasma.
Speaker 12 (27:14):
Godi a Tuxoplasma GANDHII.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
There it is. I don't know what it is, but
somehow I've been turned into a cat doormat over the years. Okay,
I think you're probably there with me, aren't you.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
I am a cat dormat, yes, yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
And do you think it's because we're infected.
Speaker 12 (27:28):
With Taxoplasma GANDHII.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
I cannot say. I have not been tested.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Something is not right here now, if you guys, if
you're not familiar.
Speaker 12 (27:39):
With Taxoplasma GANDHII.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Toxoplasma GANDHII, this is a parasite in cat litter that
affects humans and it's it's passed on obviously, and people
get this. And basically what it does is it kind
of turns you into a doormat for your cat and
and the effect that it has I think on like
(28:03):
mice and rats and stuff, is that they lose their
fear of cats and it makes it easy for cats
to hunt them. And that's basically how it works in nature.
But when the humans get it, then you just again
you become a cat dormat.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
I am a cat dormant, so maybe I am infected.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
I'm pretty sure I'm infected. Okay, So I don't know
what it is about a cat me out. It just
it just goes right through me. First of all, it
melts my heart. Number one melts my heart, and number two,
it sends me into a panic to take care of
the cat, like I have to whatever problem the cat
is having, I have to solve it, and I have
to solve it right now, you know. And so and
Jessica always jokes about how Penelope has meat wrapped around her.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Paul.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Basically, she's like she plays you like a fiddle. She
knows exactly what to do. Every time she sees you,
you're rushing to feed her, and you're rushing to try
to And that's true. I mean, it's Penelope comes into
the living room, it's like, now, what do you mean?
Justica's like you know what this is. Embarrassed Jack and
Nick and more.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
As well, not to don't you me and you
If you're listening to the Jack and Nikki Show podcast
everywhere you get your podcasts and at WBQ dot com.
Joined Jack and Akey Live weekday mornings from six to
ten on one O two WVAQ.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
It's been said that the road to hell is paved
with good intentions, and I'd like to demonstrate that for
you now talking about an incident that happened yesterday in
Fairmount on Pay It Forward Day. Pay it Forward Day, Yes,
so you're trying to be nice message in here, Well,
people were trying to be nice until this guy ruined
it and now he's being chained and made to feel
(00:40):
guilty because he did not participate and pay it forward. Okay, okay.
So he texted in here and said he was in
a chain at he named the restaurant, but I'm not
going to in Paramoun's fast food restaurant, right, And he
said that he came rolling up in the cashier told
him that the pay it Forward chain was seventeen cars deep. Okay,
(01:05):
it's been going on for a while, and he was like,
I don't want to get involved in this. I'm not,
he said. Before he even pulled away, two women followed
him and started yelling, you ruined it for everyone?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
What uh huh?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
He adds, like I owed them something, He explained, This
is interesting. I didn't pay for the car behind me
because I don't know who those I don't know who
those people are. I don't know if they deserved a
free meal, what if they're rude or bad people?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Okay, And that's something that I think that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
People tend to kind of leave out of this paid
forward equation. You know, there are some people who maybe
don't deserve a free meal from you or anybody else.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
I am more shocked that it was seventeen cars deep.
When I use the mobile apps that obey can pay.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
For my meal and I can't pay for anybody else's.
So yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
That's something I didn't really consider because when I'm being
nice to somebody, I don't stop them and ask them
for a.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Rundown of how they what their behavior is.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Like, Like, I'm just hoping that if I hold the
door for somebody, then they will, in turn, you know,
go do something nice for somebody else, and that will
cause a ripple effect, like something as small as that show.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
You're saying during World War Two, you would have held
the door for Hitler your words.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
No, No, that is not what I.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Hitler.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
No, I'm just trying to be nice to pay it forward.
I don't really know what he's doing.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
No, there would have been a very invisible string that
would have pulled tight across the doorframe, and I would
have made sure that, you know, when I held the
door open, that was already in place. Somebody else was
holding that string, so he would have tripped on his
way through.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
But yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I think this is an interesting idea though, from the texter,
that maybe the people behind you are truly terrible people,
and maybe you don't want to do anything nice for
awful people.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
M M mean.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah, or it's interesting, yeah, or you know, I mean,
maybe you are just dead inside. Maybe your heart is
black and you were born without a soul and you
don't want to participate. This is really what it comes
down to. Should you be shamed into participating in paying
(03:29):
it forward, regardless of whether it's the pay it Forward
day that's at aside or not, a lot of people
do to pay it forward thing paying it forward. If
you are shamed into doing it, that makes it hollow.
I mean, this is supposed to come from the goodness
of your heart. It's supposed to be a gesture that
you make of your own free will because it's something
(03:53):
you want to do. If you are simply doing it
because you don't want to get yelled at, that's halfo then.
I mean, that's just like if you're in a relationship
with somebody and you tell them you love them and
you do things for them because if you don't, they're
going to get mad.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
At you, right right, So what.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Do you guys think here? Eight eight eight seven seven
seven sixty six forty call us text us at that number.
You can also text us at three five six five one.
Should people be shamed into paying it forward? And also,
how do you feel about maybe doing nice things for
people you don't know who could be terrible people? Does
that affect your decision at all? What kind of reaction
(04:34):
are we seeing Nikki on the textual line before we
get to the studio line eight eight eight seven seven
seven sixty six forty Off you go?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Then, okay, all right, I've done nice things for people
so many times that they have done bad things back
to me that I have trouble doing anything for people.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Oh, that's too bad.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Yeah, that is very sad.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
That is unfortunate, and that's that's really hard to keep
your chin up if you keep getting burned by people.
If it happens enough times, you do eventually go, well,
that's it. I'm gonna pull back on that.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
So maybe this person in Fairmount, maybe that's what happened
to them.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
They've been burned so many times.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
A guy texted in, Yeah, it has been burned a
few times. Just like people, you're on your own.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I have a text here from somebody
who works in the food service. Yes, I've worked food
service for twenty years. Pay it forward is such a
pain to do. Leave your change for the next car
to apply to their order, or tip the workers. Yeah yeah,
I think that's better, like leave your change for the
next person rather than paying for their entire meal, because
(05:38):
that just I think it's an easier way to do things,
obviously for the person working, as they have texted this
tip in. Yes, but also it takes the pressure off
the car behind you to pay for the next vehicle.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Yeah, I agree with that, And also I agree with
why don't you tip the drive through worker?
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah, I mean they probably appreciate that. Can you do that?
I mean, are are they allowed to accept tips?
Speaker 5 (06:02):
There's usually a jar.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah that's true. I have seen those jars. Yeah that's true. Okay,
all right, so tip them or at the very least,
don't drive off with their tip jar. At the very
at the very least, don't steal their tips. Yeah, okay,
anything else you want to hit before we go to
the funes here?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Oh gosh, there's a bunch of them here, a lot
a pay it forward chain shows who has bad character
because it stops with them.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
Poor character, shame him? He is selfish?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I don't know that it's poor character. I think it's
just maybe not as generous as other people. Perhaps maybe,
let's say on the thrifty side, maybe could be.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Maybe you know, it's not payday yet and they're going
to get their.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Value me on to get out of there there?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
What maybe they don't have it? How about that?
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I mean I told that charming story about to back
in the day when I was broke with my dope
friend and we went to McDonald's and it got a
burger for ninety nine cents and tore it in half. Yeah,
and split it because we only had one dollar between us.
What if a pay it forward line was going on
and I'm like, I can't pay for the people behind me,
and then a bunch of people start running up to
(07:18):
the car, going.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Hey, you pie craft, pay it forward. You're selfish.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah, you don't know other people's financial situations. And to
bring it back around, this is supposed to be about
the goodness of your heart, what you want to give,
not what you're forced to give. Yes, okay, let me
just try to move on here before people come in
and start to.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
A gosh, thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
I don't know what their problem is.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
People a bunch of taunting jerks. You are on the
Jack and Nikki Show, the only only good morning? Hell
are you fine? How are you? Oh?
Speaker 6 (08:03):
I'm good good Okay, I'm just the guy that's about
to pay it forward. Well, he's saying he didn't want
to pay for somebody behind him because he didn't know
if they were good people. So was he the car
in front of him? Did they pay for him? So
on asking because he said the people behind him, he
(08:26):
didn't know because they were good people, right, or if
they were good people right, so the car in front
of him, if they paid for him. Yeah, they didn't
know if he was the good people.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
I don't think he said if he accepted it or not,
because you can turn it down.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah, it's my understanding that they did pay for him,
because he said it stopped with him, So I guess
they did pay for him. But you're right, they they
don't know anything about him or what his character.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
Is, and they could judge doing something like that.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah, they took a chance on this guy, and maybe
they were wrong to do that.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
Yeah, people behind you, he didn't know.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Well, look, it's kind of it's a gamble, right, It's
it's a fifty to fifty proposition. The people behind you
may be great people, they may be horrible people. You
don't really have any way to know that. As Nikki said,
it's more about the gesture itself than about the people
who may or may not deserve it. Yeah, right, absolutely.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
If he didn't want to participate, he just let's say,
you know sorry, yeah right, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
You don't have to participate.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
You could just be like, you know what, no, I
don't want to let me just pay for my meal
and then whatever's already in the tank can be passed
on to the car behind.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Him or how about this. He could drive around with
a short questionnaire in his passenger seat, and anytime he
finds himself in this situation, he gets out and he
walks back to the car behind them, right, and he says, Hey,
I've been asked to participate and pay it forward. I'd
like to ask you a few questions. And then he
just runs down the battery of question and then he
determines whether or not they deserve to have their meal
(10:03):
paid for. What do you think about that?
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Hey, that's you know they were what there were seventeen cars.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
In line, well that had already gone through. I think
that's convenient. It is, in no way a huge waste
of everyone's time. It's not going to slow things down.
If you've got some jackass stanning around with the clipboard
pestering strangers with a series of questions. Yeah, all right,
you know what, I might start doing it, man, Thanks.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
For the Clay, appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
The Jack and Nikki Show one two w v AQ.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Time for a quick visit to the wonderful world of
TikTok TikTok.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
If you haven't heard of the TikTok app, it's the.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
App popping off on phones everywhere. TikTok, TikTok app.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
TikTok passed five hundred and million active music.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
This is a TikTok trend going viral.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Put that on TikTok.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Yes, America's mental illness factory where we search for nuggets
of gold, not unlike a prospector in California. Nick, That's
how it works, that's right. Yeah, you have to sift, Yes,
you got to sift through the garbage until you find
the good stuff. Obviously, we complain endlessly around here about
(11:23):
roads and road construction and terrible roads and traffic backups,
but there are worst things that can happen, like being
trapped in a waymo driverless car. And this is something
that's happened more than once. It has happened again, and
as luck would have it, the people who were trapped
(11:43):
in the way Moo did the right thing and ran
to TikTok to share their story. Here's how it went down.
This is the most insane thing.
Speaker 7 (11:52):
We're in a weimo here, it was going the wrong way.
We called customer support it stuff is right here and
would let us out of the car.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
There's no you can't talk to anybody and give directions.
Speaker 7 (12:03):
So then we're talking to customer support, which is who
knows where we're talking to someone. We were in the
car until five minutes and eleven seconds and I said,
I'm going live on TikTok if you don't love USULL
and it's still stopped.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
She's threatening to go to TikTok.
Speaker 7 (12:19):
And we kept saying, hey, we're on we're on a highway,
please let it like move the car. Cars kept honking
at us, and it would not move.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
It would not let us out.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
No one for customer support would actually move the way mo.
So now we were walking and our Waymou is still there.
This is insane WAVEMO. I know it's sound dramatic when
I'm saying cars are flying by us, but they were
flying by some hawking because it's right at the curve
the way.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Moo just stalks.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Wow. And they're dangerous pushing the driverless cars for convenience.
So this is part of the story that they leave
out right. Yeah, if the thing goes nuts while you're
in there, pretty much on your own, yeah, unless of course,
you contact WEAMO and threatened to.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Go live on TikTok.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
And people don't get a hold of this car. I'm
gonna blast you on TikTok. Sure quick, somebody dial into
the car, log in, get that thing stopped. Yeah, that
is pretty terrifying though. Honestly, if you're inside of a
vehicle that you don't have any control over it, you
can't get out. You can't get out, You're locked in.
It's gonna do whatever it wants to do. I guess
you're just kind of looking around going, well, hope there
(13:27):
are no lakes or rivers around here.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Right, yeah, and pending the day, like your climate control,
you may sweat to death, freeze to death?
Speaker 6 (13:37):
Right?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Who know you're on the line with wayiamo. Look, I
know the car's driving to my death, but can you
at least turn the air conditioning on it? Here, We've
got a story for you now about an angry mom
who is she angry with Sam's Club because, according to her,
(14:00):
they let her five year old daughter consume eight free
samples of an energy drink.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Yeah, that's right, Nikki. Wow is the correct reaction?
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Eight free samples of the energy drink?
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yeah? Now, to be fair, she said, this particular energy
drink is slightly healthier than other energy drinks, but still
contains two hundred milligrams of caffeine. Okay, I guess this
kid was bouncing off the wall after having eight samples.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
See how big are the samples?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Well that was going to be my first question. Okay,
fair enough, we got there. She ran to social media
to complain bitterly, as you do in current year, and
social media users are divided on whether this was the
responsibility of the worker to not give the child these samples,
(14:52):
or if it's the responsibility of the mom to look
out for the care and nurturing of her own child. So,
since she ran to social media to cry about it,
naturally I ran to the radio to cry about it
because we host a radio show, and this is where
we do all of our winging yes and prodding and
(15:15):
crying and questioning of the masses. Eight eight eight seven
seven seven sixty six forty. That is the number to
call and or text. You can also text us at
three five sixty five one. Let's get into it, Nikki Drake,
who is responsible the Sam's Club employee or the mother
of the child? Your witness?
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Mainly it's the mom she should be watching after her children.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Yeah, it's the mom.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
But my question, I guess how old was the kid?
Do we know?
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Let's see here five years old.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Who in their right mind would be giving samples of
an energy drink to a.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Five year old?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
See there you go in that, because that's why we
have the.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Debate, right right, Like I understand, like you know, they're
probably getting paid minimum wage. It's a part time job,
I'm sure I don't who knows, like, But at the
same time, like, it's an energy drink. It's more than coffee,
like for a full serving, so like nobody gives coffee.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
No, no, don't give the energy drink to the kids.
But also watch your kid.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Let me make sure I understand the argument you're making
here and correct me where I'm wrong. Okay, you're saying
that this employee, yeah, is standing there thinking I'm making
lousy wages. They won't put me on full time. Here
comes a five year old. I'm going to get back
at this company for what they're paying me and the
(16:40):
hours they're giving me. By juicing up this five year
old and setting her loose on the store and her
own mom, is that basically the argument that.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
I don't I don't know if that's exactly it.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Saying it's malicious I'm not saying it's malicious. I'm just
saying it was just like, eh, whatever, just take the samples.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Nobody else is taking them from me, So just here
have the sample.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Okay. This is really an interesting debate because, Okay, I
agree with you and where you started. If you're the parent,
it's up to you to take care of your own child. However,
if you are in a situation like this and your
child kind of wonders off in a store, there may
be an aisle or two away from you. They're five,
(17:23):
it's not a big panic situation. I mean, you know
that she's there close by somewhere. You just don't expect
a stranger to be, you know, filling her up with
energy drinks. That again, what what Any adult who encounters
a five year old should probably not agree to give
(17:46):
them samples of an energy drink. Maybe a single sample,
but even that at five I think is pushing it.
I think maybe any responsible adult would say, no, honey,
I'm afraid you're for this. I have one of your
parents come over. Yeah, So it seems like the correct
(18:06):
answer here is negligence on the part of both the
parent and the employee. Yes, it seems like This should
be a two tier system. It should be layered. Layer
number one. You're the parent, You're responsible for the child. However,
if that fails, layer number two, you're an adult. You
(18:28):
look out for children in general.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Yes, yes, right.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
It takes a village sometimes.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Sometimes it does.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
And let's just hope that that's not the village idiot.
Who is and they're making these decisions? We have spoken?
What say you? Let's get to the judgment that is
pouring in on the studio and textual lines after this
mom slammed Sam's Club on the internet for letting her
(18:55):
five year old daughter consume eight free samples of an
energy you drink. Who is it fault here, the mom
or the employee who handed out the samples? Nikki, what
are you seeing on the textual line?
Speaker 4 (19:07):
On the text line, let's see totally the mother's fault.
First of all, you only take one sample, not eight. Second,
you need to watch your child, what your child eats
and drinks and takes from a store.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Period.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Okay, so I would just interject in that starting out
totally the mother's fault. You take one sample, not eight,
But shouldn't the employee keep you from taking eight?
Speaker 5 (19:32):
You would think there would be a cutoff.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
But it's a five year old. So, like, how do
you like you still have to go? I guess, like.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
Back to the hey, go get your parent?
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Yeah situation.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Okay, I like. I like the solution that you and
I came up with, the two tiered system.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Two tiered system.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Yeah, the parents primarily responsible.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Got to have a backup plan.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
In a society, you have a secondary responsibility. Any adult
in any reasonably run society should be looking out for children. Yes,
so two tears, please continue.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
Okay, more texts here.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
The employee should have said to go get the parent,
and then if the mom says yes, that's on her,
not the employee.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
That's logical, It makes sense, and it's also a good
way to I think, maybe avoid some problems. Yeah, because
then if the kid spazzes out and starts climbing the walls,
you can go, well, the mom signed off on it.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Yeah right, Okay.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
Where was the mom?
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Good thing it wasn't a child with a peanut allergy
and peanut samples.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Ooh, yeah, where was the mom?
Speaker 2 (20:38):
That's again another fair point.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Yeah, that's a scary point.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yeah, this is why we take the calls and text.
Let's go to the studio line triple eight, triple seven,
sixty six forty. You are on the Jack and Nikki show,
which you got, Good morning Jack.
Speaker 8 (20:51):
Yes, it's the parent's responsibility.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Okay, they're the parents.
Speaker 8 (20:57):
Not going to say which Sam's Club that I have
employed at a Stams club? To answer one question, the
size of the sample would be less than two ounces, okay,
being a responsible adult. It's that station that is questionable
sometimes because I mean, that's the kind of job it is.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Right, Yeah, wait, you're saying it's not the kind of
job where they hire responsible adults. Is that on the application?
Are you a responsible adult? Check this box? I am not.
Speaker 8 (21:25):
Okay, it should be all right, But the bottom line is,
I don't know how many parents you've seen in retail
public situations, but there are many cases where if he
would have said no, you'd have had the parent over there.
Why aren't you giving my child a sample?
Speaker 2 (21:42):
You know, that's a good time, what it is, that's
a very good point. Yea. So maybe the employee was like,
I don't need the aggravation. I don't need a big
fight with a parent. Just kid, take whatever you want.
Speaker 8 (21:52):
Yeah, and plus the view of energy drinks, you know
they're not dangerous standards. Yeah, little kids, I think they
might be, but you know, very well drink them all
the time, so they're not thinking about while this kid's
gonna get bug.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
The employees not handing out for their kid. Yeah, samples
of whiskey. Okay, all right, I'm glad you called, man.
Thank you have a great day.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
You do you two?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
I hear a lot of ticket ticket tabbing going on
over there, NICKI drake, are you crunching caffeine numbers?
Speaker 4 (22:25):
I am crunching caffeine numbers because the caller said it's
usually less than a two ounce pore.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
So I went with a two ounce pore, okay, all right?
Speaker 4 (22:33):
And I looked up a common energy drink served at Samsung.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
Okay, is stocked there.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
So twelve flow ounces two hundred milligrams of caffeine. Okay,
So eight samples at two ounces, at sixteen ounces, that's
more than one can of the energy drink. So that's
two hundred and sixty six point seven milligrams of caffeine,
which is more than sixteen ounces of coffee caffeine. Coffee
(23:03):
caffeine would be one hundred and ninety for the two
cups of coffee.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
It was my understanding there would be no math.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
The Nerve Center of North Central West Virginia Jack Loger
and Nikki Drake on one O two WVAQ.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I have news. I do have news. What kind of news?
News that makes West Virginia look good out of South Carolina.
It's a woman who called nine to one one after
an alligator attacked her husband. How does this make West
(23:44):
Virginia look good? Well, because we don't have to put
up with alligator attacks around here, and now do we?
You can freely move about in your yard, you can
do whatever work you need to do, and not fight
off an alligator with a race. Now, I want you
to listen to how surprisingly calm this woman is during
(24:05):
this call, which indicates to me that alligator attacks are
something they're used to in the South. I mean, I
think around here, something anywhere near this happened, we would
be freaking out. I'm like, yeah, you know, it's an
alligator attack, it happens. Check this out.
Speaker 9 (24:20):
Hello, my husband's just been attacked by an alligator. He's
bleeding everywhere, his leg is a mess.
Speaker 10 (24:26):
Okay, and is he conscious and alert.
Speaker 9 (24:28):
Yeah, he's up and walking.
Speaker 10 (24:30):
Where is the wound? He says, on his leg and
his arms leg.
Speaker 9 (24:33):
And he had he had his arm in his mouth,
and I poked an alligator in his eye.
Speaker 10 (24:39):
Okay, so let's make sure we get a clean cloth
on top of that wound. Okay, Okay, I know it's
probably not gonna be able to do much, but let's
try to limit as much of the bleeding as we can. Okay,
how long will it take for somebody to be here?
We're getting them on the way lessons signs right now,
I need to just standing phone me okay, Okay, I've
got everybody coming to the legs and sirens.
Speaker 9 (24:57):
He's got a contusion on his head and he's arm.
It's his arm that the alligator had these mouths around.
Speaker 10 (25:03):
All right, So this occurred in the backyard. Is that crucs?
Speaker 9 (25:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (25:07):
Okay, all right, and so just some clear the alligator?
Is that present anymore? Is that cruck in the eye
and he.
Speaker 9 (25:13):
Finally let go.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
In the eye?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Yeah, that's right, Just just another day in South Carolina.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
That's how I get coworkers to leave the studio. I
just poke them in the eye and they walk out.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Fighting an alligator off of your husband while he's doing
some yard work another day in the South, right, Yeah,
it's interesting the way that call plays out too. When
she says, I poked the alligator in the eye, and
then he says, okay, well, let's get a cloth on
that wound. It sounds like he's saying, hey, treat the alligator. Okay,
let's make sure the alligator doesn't lose vision in that eye.
(25:45):
That's most important thing. But what about my husband?
Speaker 1 (25:47):
What about him?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
He'll be fine, all right, we have an ambulance comes
for him. Let's look out for the alligator. Yeah. Again,
life in the South, it's to me the alligator things terrifying.
I mean, Jessica and I have been down there many
times on vacation, and you do see random, wayward alligators, Yes,
crossing the street, walking through golf courses, just kind of
wandering around, and it's absolutely terrifying to me.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Yes, I agree, it's they're a part of the community.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
Weird.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah, I saw one of them was running a local
school board meeting and I said, okay, you know what,
this is too far. Why not play this for you guys.
This is a cat performing amazing grace with her owner. Okay, okay,
all right, so a duet between an owner and a cat.
It's amazing grace.
Speaker 11 (26:38):
Listen very carefully, ohmazzy, oh sweet see.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Like all right, that's adorable.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
That is very adorable.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Say there's your pets.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Now, here's the thing. I don't know if it's because
I have a wicked case of Toxoplasma.
Speaker 12 (27:14):
Godi a Tuxoplasma GANDHII.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
There it is. I don't know what it is, but
somehow I've been turned into a cat doormat over the years. Okay,
I think you're probably there with me, aren't you.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
I am a cat dormat, yes, yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
And do you think it's because we're infected.
Speaker 12 (27:28):
With Taxoplasma GANDHII.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
I cannot say. I have not been tested.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Something is not right here now, if you guys, if
you're not familiar.
Speaker 12 (27:39):
With Taxoplasma GANDHII.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Toxoplasma GANDHII, this is a parasite in cat litter that
affects humans and it's it's passed on obviously, and people
get this. And basically what it does is it kind
of turns you into a doormat for your cat and
and the effect that it has I think on like
(28:03):
mice and rats and stuff, is that they lose their
fear of cats and it makes it easy for cats
to hunt them. And that's basically how it works in nature.
But when the humans get it, then you just again
you become a cat dormat.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
I am a cat dormant, so maybe I am infected.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
I'm pretty sure I'm infected. Okay, So I don't know
what it is about a cat me out. It just
it just goes right through me. First of all, it
melts my heart. Number one melts my heart, and number two,
it sends me into a panic to take care of
the cat, like I have to whatever problem the cat
is having, I have to solve it, and I have
to solve it right now, you know. And so and
Jessica always jokes about how Penelope has meat wrapped around her.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Paul.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Basically, she's like she plays you like a fiddle. She
knows exactly what to do. Every time she sees you,
you're rushing to feed her, and you're rushing to try
to And that's true. I mean, it's Penelope comes into
the living room, it's like, now, what do you mean?
Justica's like you know what this is. Embarrassed Jack and
Nick and more.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
As well, not to don't you me and you
