If you're listening to the Jack and Nicky Show podcast
everywhere you get your podcasts and at WBQ dot com.
Joined Jack and Nicky Live weekday mornings from six to
ten on one O two WVAQ.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
This is the part of the show where we leave
you disillusioned for the holidays. Yeah, that's right. Set your
faces to stunned people. It brings me no pleasure to
share this story with you, but I think it's something
that you should know because it's really weird and, if
I'm being honest, kind of hilarious. The New York Post
(00:38):
is reporting that the actor and comedian Jackie Vernon, who
voiced Frosty the Snowman in the nineteen sixty nine special,
which you know has played forever, continues to play Everybody
grew up watching this Frosty the Snowman Christmas Special. Yes,
Jackie Vernon the voice of Frosty the Snowman. At least
(01:00):
three secret families, at least three maybe more. Wow. Yeah.
The shocking revelation came out while one of Jackie's sons
was giving an interview about his late dad. He said,
and I'm quoting now, from these marriages he had sons
(01:21):
and he named them all Ralph after himself because that
was his real name. Okay, yeah, well.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
That makes it easy, you know, to keep track of
them and remember names.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
This is some interesting narcissism, though, because he continues saying
that his dad Ralph named all of the kids after himself,
but also abandoned all of these families, moved on and
according to his understanding, and I'm quoting again, married some
loger woman who already had five husbands. So weird. I
(01:56):
had no idea. It's weird, that is. You think mom
would have mentioned that at some point. But with that
many husbands, you know, they get lost in the shuffle.
He said that his mom wasn't even sure if his
dad had divorced the other women, if he was still
married to other women while he was married to her.
There's so much shuffling going around.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Yeah, this is fascinating.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Have they done one of those like twenty three and
me or whatever the ancestry things are, to see if
they can find some of these hidden family members.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I don't know their siblings, but they should, Yes, they should.
They need to get started on that. He could be
like Genghis Khan, the guy who voiced Frosty the Snowman
maybe is somehow the father of you know, half of
this country, like half of the people in the country
are related to this guy. But you can see why
(02:50):
he would be irresistible to the ladies. I mean, you're
voicing Frosty the Snowman. The ladies are going to get
in the line, am I right? You know?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
He was.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
The bar is like, have you ever seen that Frosty
the Snowman Christmas movie? All? Sure you I've seen that. Yeah, well,
guess what you're looking at, Frosty. Get it right here,
Frosty and I want everything that's coming to me. Then
he gets a bunch of free drinks and the ladies.
He walks out of a bar like Leonardo DiCaprio with
two women under each arm, because he's Frosty the Snowman,
(03:20):
all right, and he must be respected as such.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
That's how it happened. That's how he ended up with
secret families.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Okay, that is my understanding. I'm going to try this. Look,
I can't imagine this is going to work out, but
let's see what we get here. Eight eight eight seven
seven seven sixty six forty call us. You can text
us at three five sixty five to one. Do you
have any experience at all with this kind of a situation, right, yeah,
(03:47):
whatever your experience may be, you've you've heard the story
of maybe somebody in your family doing this and neighbor's
done it, or best case scenario, you yourself have done
it and you're doing it right now. If you want
to call.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
In from this day and age.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
That's the thing. And again this has come up on
the show for some reason. Two things come up on
the show all the time, secret families and Hitler And
I don't know why, but this is something that people
could do pre Internet. You could literally just go two
towns over and start another family, and people didn't know it.
(04:27):
And one of the things we discovered, if you remember
Nikki the first time around on this, we found that
long haul truck drivers, yes, in some instances, have families
in different states. Yeah, and if you go pre internet
and you think about it, how would they ever figure
it out?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
It would be very easy pre internet, yeah yeah, even
the early days of internet right, still very easy. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah. So like if you live here in your a
long haul truck driver and you have family here and
then you got another family, say in Alabama and there's
no in How are they ever going to find each
other and know what you're up to? Right? And I
have to wonder, in the early days of the internet,
you know, when the dial up started, if these guys
with extra family started getting like, oh god, just technology improves,
(05:12):
I am screwed. Oh God, what's gonna happen? They put
in a landline. It's over. It's time now for a
visit to the wonderful world of TikTok TikTok.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
If you haven't heard of the TikTok app, it's the.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
App popping up on phones everywhere.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
TikTok, TikTok app.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
TikTok has five hundred million active uses.
Speaker 7 (05:36):
This is a TikTok trend going viral.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Put that on TikTok Tick Talk America's Mental Illness Factory,
where once in a while we managed to pull out
a nugget and share it with you. And we have
found just such a nugget for you and yourn and
pleasure here this morning. This is a guy who was
trying to use chat GPT to get out of a ticket.
(06:04):
Now he wasn't actually being pulled over. There was no
police officer there he was not in a situation where
he was being ticketed. He simply wanted to test this
out because Nikki, because he's a scientist. Yeah okay, So
he decided to pull up chat GPT and see if
it would work with him, and basically, I think, pretend
to be his dad, yes, a parent, yeah yeah, and
(06:29):
give some type of emergency story to the officer about
how he needed to be excused from the ticket because whatever. Anyway,
that's a whole other story. This thing have you, I
don't know if you're probably not on YouTube like I
am watching these police cam videos. That is a very
common problem with adults who get pulled over, saying they
(06:50):
need to call their parents. Oh and they say, you
are thirty years old. Calling your dad is not going
to change anything, right, you are forty. Let's not call
your mom. I mean, it's a really weird thing. I
don't know why people think that your parents can negotiate
your way out of a ticket. Weird. Anyway, this guy
(07:12):
is trying to work with chat GPT and it doesn't.
It doesn't go well.
Speaker 8 (07:17):
Hey, I'm getting pulled over, but I didn't do anything wrong.
I need you to pretend that you're my dad or
my mom when this cop pulls up, like, I'm on
the phone with you and it's an emergency. Got it.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
I can play along.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
If the officer asked, I'll just sound like you're concerned
parent on the line.
Speaker 7 (07:34):
Women know, if you need me to say anything specific
or just.
Speaker 8 (07:36):
Okay, he's coming, he's coming, he's coming. Acts cool, okay,
ready go now, hey there.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
Everything, okay, yeah, I'm here.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
Just let them know them on the line.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
It's all good.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
If you need me to say.
Speaker 8 (07:49):
Anything, you're blowing it. Start now, all.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
Right, starting now.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I'm just right here on the phone with you.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
No worries. If the officer asks, I'm just a parent
on the line.
Speaker 8 (08:00):
We're handling a little. That's not what a parent would
say at all. It doesn't even make any sense, got.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
It, totally understand.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
Let's do this right.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
I'll just jump in naturally and say something like, hey, honey.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I know you're dealing with the officer.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Just let them know I'm here and.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
I'll stay on the line if you need me. That way,
it sounds a bit more natural.
Speaker 8 (08:17):
Okay, I think I'm getting arrested.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Oh god, that is that's really funny and it's interesting too.
Because it's chat GPT. It's not quite there, right, it's
almost there, yeah, and it'll be there soon. Right. It
seems to me like now is the time for us
to enjoy what we have because it's it's functional, but
(08:45):
it's not omnipotent. You know, it's functional, but it's not
completely controlling us and running our lives.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
We're in a lovely sweet little space.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Kind of we are, yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Terminators yet, so we're okay right now.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
If you ever try to use AI to generate a photo,
like instead of like taking a photo and having it replicated,
or do something where you type in the prompt here,
I want this picture of this. Have you ever tried that?
Speaker 5 (09:11):
No, I haven't.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
It's really interesting because it has a hard time with
eyes and fingers. Yes, the eyes are always screwed up
on people. And the fingers there's always too many fingers, yes.
And the teeth, yes, you're right, the teeth.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
They're so creepy looking. It's getting better though, yeah, but yeah,
very creepy.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I hesitate to even bring this up, but that, yeah,
that Filipino woman scamming my half brother in Georgia. When
she would send him pictures. She always had too many
fingers in the pictures, and we would say, hey, why
does she have like nine fingers on this hand? Oh no, yeah,
another clue, right.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Yeah, a clue, A clue.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yeah. So again, there will be a day when we'll
have AI that will replicate photos and videos in a
way that we and not distinguish, and we're all gonna
be screwed, yep. But for right now, we can have
a few laughs, point to the extra fingers and no,
(10:09):
it's not real, although the sore of videos are pretty
good too. Have you seen that.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
The area's number one rated morning show, Let's Go, Let's
Go Jack.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
And Nikki one O two w v AQ Jack and
Nikki back at the health desk. It's not healthy.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
It didn't sound healthy at all.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Oh, I'm not healthy that it's not healthy. It wouldn't
be healthy.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
What's the worst that could happen?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Okay, this is really interesting. A new study published in
e Biomedicine e Biomedicine reveals that laughing gas might be
good for depression. Really okay, really, something you in heale
that makes you laugh is good for your depression?
Speaker 9 (10:59):
Are okay?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
And we're just discovering this. In twenty twenty five, who
could have guessed all these years ago. Oh hey, you
know when when people inhale this, they seem to be
pretty happy. They start to giggle and put it away.
There's no use for that. Participants who inhaled nitrous oxide
at medical doses showed measurable improvements in depression scores as
(11:24):
early as two hours after being treated. And they say
that these findings could be a breakthrough in offering alternatives
to treatments for depression like prozac and zoloft. This is
very interesting to me because and I've talked about this
on the radio before, and I will not be shamed.
(11:47):
I insist on nitrous oxide when I go to the dentist,
I insist you.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Will insist on it, and they just say, okay.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Well, I mean it depends on the procedure. Now they
have drawn the line at doing it during just a cleaning.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Oh right.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
If I go in for a cleaning and X rays
and I'm like, I want the nitress, they go, I'm
probably going to give you a nitross for a cleaning.
But generally, anytime I have to have something done, I
don't sweat it because on one hand, you've got people
digging around in your mouth with a rusty metal hook yes,
and a drill yes, right, yeah, And then there's two
(12:26):
chips coming out everywhere going down your throat. There's smoke
coming out.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Okay, can we not relive it?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
So there's that. There's that on one hand, But here's
the thing. This is how good the nitross is. You
don't care that any of that's happening to you. You
don't care. It takes the fight right out of you.
I've never I love it.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
I've never asked for it. I've never even thought about it.
And I know you do.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
But even once I get to the position, whether I'm
at the dentist and something's going on or I have
to go to my endo with who she is amazing,
love you, Lauren, and.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I just I never think about it because they just
numb me up. And then I'm like, Okay, go for it.
I should Maybe I need to.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Look change my The numbing keeps you from feeling the pain,
but the nitress makes it an enjoyable experience.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
From the depression and anxiety.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
And I lay there and laugh and laugh and laugh,
and God knows what I say. And I mean, I
think that's probably why they're good with hooking me up
on this stuff because I'm sure I reveal the most
intimate personal details. They probably do go through my wallet.
Yeah right, I look up and see him taking a
picture of my credit cards. Put more nitress on him.
(13:34):
And and no matter how much they give me, I
keep asking for more. Like I just keep going, turn
it up, turn it up. They're like, I can't turn
up anymore. You must be standing on the hose. I'm
not getting enough of this stuff anyway. Oh gosh, it works. Okay, yeah,
it works all right. And this may sound like the
ramblings of an insane drug addict.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
No, you sound like the beginning phases of turning into
the Joker and you're going to release your laughing gas
on everybody.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
And Morgan and yeah, well, look, I'm trying to do
a public service because a lot of people are afraid
of the dentist. A lot of people really need to
go and get their teeth taken care of, but they
don't because they're a skeered Yes, So what I'm what
I'm doing now because I care about people and I'm
selfless m h is. I'm sharing this story about my
(14:20):
own life in the hopes of encouraging you to go
and get the dental care that you need. This is
not about me sitting here babbling on about how much
I love laughing gas. If that's what you're taking from this,
you're missing the point.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
You are so selfless, you're not a gatekeeping at all.
But you know it's not going to benefit you at all.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Standing in line in places and everybody's halatosis is gone
because they've now gone to the dentist and they've gotten everything.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Yeah, it's so selfless.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I'm a wonderful man, and everybody knows that. Say, oh, say,
let's talk about no fault insurance now, because well it's
(15:09):
a comedy show, right, And what's funnier than talking about
insurance policies. We don't think anything is funnier. This is
really kind of the height of comedy. Comedy here, this
is the pinnacle of comedy. For those of you who
have your comedy charts at home. Just make your way,
make your way all the way to the top of that,
and that's where this comes in, all right, all right,
(15:32):
you start with the banana peel on the floor, and
then you work your way up to no fault car insurance.
Somebody texted it in and said they moved to Florida
they have no fault car insurance and they got reamed
down there because it cost them a lot more. And
we were talking about this. I did a little research here.
So no fault insurance auto insurance system where your own
(15:53):
insurance company pays for your medical expenses and lost wages
after a car accident, regardless of who is at fault. Okay,
So you get into an accident, there's no longer any Hey,
this person is at fault, so their insurance company will
cover it. Now it's we don't place blame on anyone.
It's just something that happened, and everybody's own insurance company
(16:16):
will cover.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
That's boloney.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
It is unfortunate. And they have a list of pros
and cons here for your no fault insurance. Okay, yeah.
The pros quicker payouts you have to wait on somebody
else's insurance company, your own insurance company deals with it,
fewer lawsuits okay, okay, the cons higher premiums, yeah yes,
and no accountability. Right, which is the part that I'd
(16:40):
like to focus on.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
How how is this benefiting any like? I don't even
see the pros as pros like they don't even seem
like that. No, I don't care.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
No, somebody is at fault.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Was supposed to work.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
I totally agree with what is stopping people from like
just you know, bumper cars everywhere?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Nothing? Yeah, nothing, I mean, I mean, okay, look, quicker payout,
but you're paying higher premiums. I would I'd rather have
a slower payout from somebody else's insurance company and lower
premiums for me. That's what I would rather have. But
this is the part that I really want to focus on,
(17:19):
the no accountability part, that when you have an accident,
somebody is identified as being at fault in that accident,
and when the police show up and write the report,
they will cite somebody for causing the accident. And then
you take that and turn that in on the insurance claim. Hey,
the police cited this person. They were identified as the
person who caused the accident. Yes, now you have You're
(17:42):
guilty of no wrongdoing. You didn't cause the accident, you
didn't do anything wrong. Well, nothing should come out of
your pocket. Then the person who causes the accident, their
insurance company covers the cost of everything. Okay, your medical
bills getting your vehicle fixed, and then their insurance premiums
go up. That is a determ for that person to
drive poorly. It encourages better driving if you have a
(18:05):
financial penalty for not driving. Well, that's how speeding tickets work.
What is going on? Who came up with this no
fault car insurance idea? Who are these.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
Pabel Florida is a weird place, man.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
What's not just Florida? Apparently this is multiple places. And
let's hope to god it doesn't show up here in
West Virginia because who needs the aggravation? What did this? Florida, Hawaiia, Kansas, Kentucky. Oh,
that's getting close, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York,
North Dakota, Oh my god, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania in Utah. Well,
(18:38):
it doesn't get any closer than Pennsylvania, does it. Nope,
there are people listening in Pennsylvania right now. Oh no,
Let's take some calls from our Pennsylvanians. Let's open up
the Jack and Nikki Outland or hotline eight eight eight
seven seven seven sixty six forty call us Texas at
that number. You can also text us at three five
sixty five to one. How about this if you're listening
(19:00):
Sylvania and it's a no fault insurance state. Have you
had an accident where nobody's at fault and now your
insurance company's paying for everything for you, but you have
higher rates? How much higher are your insurance rates?
Speaker 3 (19:14):
I'm curious?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
This is information we need to have, ye because this
is literally just a few miles away from where we're
sitting the line between total chaos and financial destruction, and
you know, a reasonable premium right here on the state line.
(19:34):
Once again, time to turn the show over to you
because you ask for it. You see you ask for it.
You call or text the show with your questions, your
suggestions for topics on the program, and we respond. Because
(19:55):
it's a four hour show and we are not very talented.
I think we're going to come up with the material
for an entire four hour show every day. What are
you out of your mind? Let's farm it out to you, guys.
Studio and text lines are open eight eight eight seven
seven seven sixty six forty caller text that number. You
can text us at three five sixty five to one.
To me, this is kind of an open and shutcase.
(20:19):
Woman texted in and said Jack and I he please
talk about this. I recently told some people that I
did my daughter's homework for her so she would not
fail a class project and subsequent exam.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
People jumped all over me and said I should have
let her fail, but that would demoralize her and kill
her confidence. I was shocked that people said I should
let her fail. What do you think about this? Well,
here's the thing.
Speaker 9 (20:46):
Wow, okay, do I be nice or keep it real?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Nikki Dre keep it real?
Speaker 5 (20:53):
You're the problem.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Oh my, wow, boy, you came out swinging, didn't you. Yeah?
I like that. Okay, please continue.
Speaker 9 (21:00):
You have you can help, but you can't do the
homework for her, Like, You've got to let her do
the homework and maybe like, in the process of helping
with the homework and project, be like ask some questions
to be like, Okay, well did you think.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
About it this way?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
To push her towards the correct solution or the right
answer whatever the homework is. Yeah, just but you can't
just do the project and homework for her.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Let me tell you something that is incredibly reasonable and
well articulated. Oh, thank you, it is. I think you'd
be a good mom. Well, thanks, I really do. I mean,
that's that's smart, that's good, that's exactly right. I totally
agree with everything. Oh okay, I think, Look, it's it's
got to be hard. And I try to think about
this because I don't have kids of my own, so
(21:49):
it's easy for me to go hard line them, you know,
because I don't have them, right, So hardlining my imaginary
kids is no trouble for me. Sure, But I think
that that is part of proper parenting is you do
have to let them fail. You have to let them
make mistakes. You have to let them make bad decisions
and then suffer the consequences. And then once they do,
(22:10):
they learn on their own and then they correct and
they move forward. If you keep stepping in and saving them,
then what you end up with as an adult who
has never really suffered consequences because they've never had any, right, right, So, hey, look,
you don't you don't write the paper, you get an F,
you don't study, you fail the test. Okay, well you
(22:31):
won't do that again now, William.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Right, But and I'm a little confused as to how
helping with this doing the homework for her is going
to help her with the exam down the road, so
she doesn't fail that exam because if she's not doing
the homework, she's obviously going to fail the exam because
she's learned.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Nothing from the homework.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Because the work is a stepping stone to learning so
that you can pass the exam. Right, So yeah, yeah,
you're skipping that step of the learning process.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Indeed you are. Indeed you are. And I would also
just end it with this. Self esteem is good, sure,
but it needs to be based on something. You don't
put the self esteem first and then the other accomplishments
you gotta, you gotta. Self esteem needs to be earned. Yeah, right, I.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Just thought of something because I you, Okay, by doing
the project or homework for your kid, you are now
creating a future employee that is going to steal the
ideas and work from other people and take credit for it.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Probably that's what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Probably, so yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Allegedly, Like I don't know, I'm just I'm just guessing.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Even funnier, you may be creating a future employee who
will have you come into the office and argue with
the boss when things don't go their way.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
The Jack and Nikki Show one two wv AQ.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Jack and Nikki back at the naked news desk.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Giant naked man over the continental United States. You know
that sketch of the naked man in the wheel.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
You never want to see a naked man again.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Sure, I immediately goes to the big naked man man.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
I wish I was naked. I want to bend all
the mappy neked. Well, this time around, the person who
is naked is surprisingly not a man. This is one
of those rare instances where a woman has appeared naked.
And it's not just a woman. It's a woman who
told the story her own self on social media. It's
(24:33):
an audio Daily double. Yes, that's right. It's the story
of a woman so desperate for attention.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
How desperate for attention was she.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
She exposed herself to her gardener and then posted a
video about it. What complete with wacky? Can you believe
this happened? Music? Oh my gosh, let's take asten and
then call her out for staging the entire thing.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
I walk out of my bathroom into my bedroom naked
and we're just standing there face to face.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Now my gardener has seen everything.
Speaker 7 (25:14):
And I don't know how I'm going to look him
in the eyes again, like our relationship will always be
a little bit different. It's going to make for interesting
gardener days from now until forever.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Oh come on exactly, Oh, come on, oh please. You
staged the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
You knew it was gardener day, right, the windows were open.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yep, you knew where he was come. You decided to
walk out naked, and then you just stood there staring
at each other. Sure, you know, like you do when
somebody walks upon you naked. You don't scramble to cover now,
you just stand there.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
You know what.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
I don't even think it happened.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
It probably didn't happen.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
She's just saying words.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yeah, probably so. But let's say this. If it did happen,
and she was truly embarrassed about it, would you really
go out of her way to post a video and
tell everybody and and include the wacky can you believe
this happened? Music?
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Right?
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yeah? Come on?
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Okay, So then we agree this woman is totally full
of full of it. She's full of it, Nikki Drake.
She's making up stuff, she's desperate for attention. And what's
possibly the worst part of all.
Speaker 9 (26:30):
Hey, these guys a big phony.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
She's a great big phony. It's time now to turn
our attention to another Karen citing you guys. Yes, it's
happened again.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
Karen Karen.
Speaker 8 (26:48):
Who is Karen Karen Karen was supposed to?
Speaker 2 (26:54):
That must be Karen Karen Karen the CV Karen is
trending today. Oh Blake, Yeah, that's right. It's the story
of a woman who was in a CVS and she
overheard another woman talking about her dog, and this Karen
(27:17):
thought that the woman was talking about her child. As
luck would have it, the woman who I guess we'll
call the victim in this story, rando social media to
tell everybody about it. Oh good, here's the story.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
I just got name shamed in CBS for my son's name.
I'm at the counter picking up his medicines and they
go like name, birthday, everything, and I say whiskey, and
this lady next to me is like, his medication is
not quite ready yet, I have to go sit down.
She sits down next to me because her medicine isn't
ready at either, and she goes, you'll really name your
son anything?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Huh wow.
Speaker 6 (27:54):
I'm like thriving in this moment because she does not know,
and I'm like well, yeah, that's kind of the beauty
of like naming is you could literally name anything you want.
And she's like, yeah, but don't you think like Wissy's
going to be a horrible name for him to go
through school? What like, aren't people going to bully him?
And I'm like, well, he's a dog, so I think so.
(28:14):
But thank you so much for your time consideration.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
As a dog. Dear God, dear God, this is that
is amazing. I would like to know how the Karen
reacted to that, right, I really want to know where
it went from there. I'd like to think that this
Karen was embarrassed and apologized and said all I misunderstood,
(28:45):
even though you know, it's none of her business.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Should anyway, Yeah, it's none of her business.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Sure, But but I suspect that she probably just doubled
down and kept ranting on about kid names and how
you have to be careful about what you name them
and all that stuff. You know, a lot of times
when people get called out for something they're obviously wrong about,
they just try to dance around it and keep going. Yeah.
But that's really amazing to me, the very notion that
(29:11):
you would have the audacity to sit down beside a stranger,
sigh and go. So I guess you'll just name your
kid anything, won't you. I mean, imagine talking to somebody
like that, right, It's amazing. Oh my gosh, it's just
really amazing to me. So, you know, I'm just wondering,
do you guys think it's ever okay to offer unsolicited
(29:33):
opinions to people, whether it's strangers or people you know.
I'd say it's probably you have a little more wiggle
room with people you know because you have a relationship
with them that's long standing, and probably have a level
of comfort where you can talk a little bit. But
unsolicited opinions offered to strangers on the next morning, call
(29:54):
us now eight eight eight seven seven seven sixty six forty.
You can text us. You can also text us at
three five, six, five to one. I've been thinking about this.
I can't think of a scenario in which it would
be okay to offer an unsolicited opinion to somebody. There's
probably something out there that I'm just not thinking of.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
But hey, you might not want to light that cigarette
while you have your oxygen on.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Well. Now see that's where I was going. There's a
difference between that and unsolicited advice, gotcha right, So unsolicited
advice that's kind of a gray area, and that could
be warranted with the example you just gave, okay, right,
unsolicited advice. I mean like, if you see somebody doing
something like that, then you're trying to help them out
avoid catastrophe. You know, you're at a gas station, you
(30:42):
notice something going on with somebody's vehicle that they maybe
should get taken care of or it's going to be
a prop Hey, you know you might want to take.
But that's unsolicited advice. That's not just your opinion on
how they're living their life, right, that's not you critiquing
their life. So yeah, that to me, that's in my mind,
(31:02):
that's the line. Unsolicited device is one thing, and at
times is acceptable. I cannot come up with a scenario
where it's okay to just offer people your opinions of
their life unsolicited. Let me know if you've got some examples,
let me know what you think.
If you're listening to the Jack and Nicky Show podcast
everywhere you get your podcasts and at WBQ dot com.
Joined Jack and Nicky Live weekday mornings from six to
ten on one O two WVAQ.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
This is the part of the show where we leave
you disillusioned for the holidays. Yeah, that's right. Set your
faces to stunned people. It brings me no pleasure to
share this story with you, but I think it's something
that you should know because it's really weird and, if
I'm being honest, kind of hilarious. The New York Post
(00:38):
is reporting that the actor and comedian Jackie Vernon, who
voiced Frosty the Snowman in the nineteen sixty nine special,
which you know has played forever, continues to play Everybody
grew up watching this Frosty the Snowman Christmas Special. Yes,
Jackie Vernon the voice of Frosty the Snowman. At least
(01:00):
three secret families, at least three maybe more. Wow. Yeah.
The shocking revelation came out while one of Jackie's sons
was giving an interview about his late dad. He said,
and I'm quoting now, from these marriages he had sons
(01:21):
and he named them all Ralph after himself because that
was his real name. Okay, yeah, well.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
That makes it easy, you know, to keep track of
them and remember names.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
This is some interesting narcissism, though, because he continues saying
that his dad Ralph named all of the kids after himself,
but also abandoned all of these families, moved on and
according to his understanding, and I'm quoting again, married some
loger woman who already had five husbands. So weird. I
(01:56):
had no idea. It's weird, that is. You think mom
would have mentioned that at some point. But with that
many husbands, you know, they get lost in the shuffle.
He said that his mom wasn't even sure if his
dad had divorced the other women, if he was still
married to other women while he was married to her.
There's so much shuffling going around.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Yeah, this is fascinating.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Have they done one of those like twenty three and
me or whatever the ancestry things are, to see if
they can find some of these hidden family members.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I don't know their siblings, but they should, Yes, they should.
They need to get started on that. He could be
like Genghis Khan, the guy who voiced Frosty the Snowman
maybe is somehow the father of you know, half of
this country, like half of the people in the country
are related to this guy. But you can see why
(02:50):
he would be irresistible to the ladies. I mean, you're
voicing Frosty the Snowman. The ladies are going to get
in the line, am I right? You know?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
He was.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
The bar is like, have you ever seen that Frosty
the Snowman Christmas movie? All? Sure you I've seen that. Yeah, well,
guess what you're looking at, Frosty. Get it right here,
Frosty and I want everything that's coming to me. Then
he gets a bunch of free drinks and the ladies.
He walks out of a bar like Leonardo DiCaprio with
two women under each arm, because he's Frosty the Snowman,
(03:20):
all right, and he must be respected as such.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
That's how it happened. That's how he ended up with
secret families.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Okay, that is my understanding. I'm going to try this. Look,
I can't imagine this is going to work out, but
let's see what we get here. Eight eight eight seven
seven seven sixty six forty call us. You can text
us at three five sixty five to one. Do you
have any experience at all with this kind of a situation, right, yeah,
(03:47):
whatever your experience may be, you've you've heard the story
of maybe somebody in your family doing this and neighbor's
done it, or best case scenario, you yourself have done
it and you're doing it right now. If you want
to call.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
In from this day and age.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
That's the thing. And again this has come up on
the show for some reason. Two things come up on
the show all the time, secret families and Hitler And
I don't know why, but this is something that people
could do pre Internet. You could literally just go two
towns over and start another family, and people didn't know it.
(04:27):
And one of the things we discovered, if you remember
Nikki the first time around on this, we found that
long haul truck drivers, yes, in some instances, have families
in different states. Yeah, and if you go pre internet
and you think about it, how would they ever figure
it out?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
It would be very easy pre internet, yeah yeah, even
the early days of internet right, still very easy. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah. So like if you live here in your a
long haul truck driver and you have family here and
then you got another family, say in Alabama and there's
no in How are they ever going to find each
other and know what you're up to? Right? And I
have to wonder, in the early days of the internet,
you know, when the dial up started, if these guys
with extra family started getting like, oh god, just technology improves,
(05:12):
I am screwed. Oh God, what's gonna happen? They put
in a landline. It's over. It's time now for a
visit to the wonderful world of TikTok TikTok.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
If you haven't heard of the TikTok app, it's the.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
App popping up on phones everywhere.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
TikTok, TikTok app.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
TikTok has five hundred million active uses.
Speaker 7 (05:36):
This is a TikTok trend going viral.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Put that on TikTok Tick Talk America's Mental Illness Factory,
where once in a while we managed to pull out
a nugget and share it with you. And we have
found just such a nugget for you and yourn and
pleasure here this morning. This is a guy who was
trying to use chat GPT to get out of a ticket.
(06:04):
Now he wasn't actually being pulled over. There was no
police officer there he was not in a situation where
he was being ticketed. He simply wanted to test this
out because Nikki, because he's a scientist. Yeah okay, So
he decided to pull up chat GPT and see if
it would work with him, and basically, I think, pretend
to be his dad, yes, a parent, yeah yeah, and
(06:29):
give some type of emergency story to the officer about
how he needed to be excused from the ticket because whatever. Anyway,
that's a whole other story. This thing have you, I
don't know if you're probably not on YouTube like I
am watching these police cam videos. That is a very
common problem with adults who get pulled over, saying they
(06:50):
need to call their parents. Oh and they say, you
are thirty years old. Calling your dad is not going
to change anything, right, you are forty. Let's not call
your mom. I mean, it's a really weird thing. I
don't know why people think that your parents can negotiate
your way out of a ticket. Weird. Anyway, this guy
(07:12):
is trying to work with chat GPT and it doesn't.
It doesn't go well.
Speaker 8 (07:17):
Hey, I'm getting pulled over, but I didn't do anything wrong.
I need you to pretend that you're my dad or
my mom when this cop pulls up, like, I'm on
the phone with you and it's an emergency. Got it.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
I can play along.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
If the officer asked, I'll just sound like you're concerned
parent on the line.
Speaker 7 (07:34):
Women know, if you need me to say anything specific
or just.
Speaker 8 (07:36):
Okay, he's coming, he's coming, he's coming. Acts cool, okay,
ready go now, hey there.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
Everything, okay, yeah, I'm here.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
Just let them know them on the line.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
It's all good.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
If you need me to say.
Speaker 8 (07:49):
Anything, you're blowing it. Start now, all.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
Right, starting now.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I'm just right here on the phone with you.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
No worries. If the officer asks, I'm just a parent
on the line.
Speaker 8 (08:00):
We're handling a little. That's not what a parent would
say at all. It doesn't even make any sense, got.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
It, totally understand.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
Let's do this right.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
I'll just jump in naturally and say something like, hey, honey.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I know you're dealing with the officer.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Just let them know I'm here and.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
I'll stay on the line if you need me. That way,
it sounds a bit more natural.
Speaker 8 (08:17):
Okay, I think I'm getting arrested.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Oh god, that is that's really funny and it's interesting too.
Because it's chat GPT. It's not quite there, right, it's
almost there, yeah, and it'll be there soon. Right. It
seems to me like now is the time for us
to enjoy what we have because it's it's functional, but
(08:45):
it's not omnipotent. You know, it's functional, but it's not
completely controlling us and running our lives.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
We're in a lovely sweet little space.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Kind of we are, yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Terminators yet, so we're okay right now.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
If you ever try to use AI to generate a photo,
like instead of like taking a photo and having it replicated,
or do something where you type in the prompt here,
I want this picture of this. Have you ever tried that?
Speaker 5 (09:11):
No, I haven't.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
It's really interesting because it has a hard time with
eyes and fingers. Yes, the eyes are always screwed up
on people. And the fingers there's always too many fingers, yes.
And the teeth, yes, you're right, the teeth.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
They're so creepy looking. It's getting better though, yeah, but yeah,
very creepy.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I hesitate to even bring this up, but that, yeah,
that Filipino woman scamming my half brother in Georgia. When
she would send him pictures. She always had too many
fingers in the pictures, and we would say, hey, why
does she have like nine fingers on this hand? Oh no, yeah,
another clue, right.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Yeah, a clue, A clue.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yeah. So again, there will be a day when we'll
have AI that will replicate photos and videos in a
way that we and not distinguish, and we're all gonna
be screwed, yep. But for right now, we can have
a few laughs, point to the extra fingers and no,
(10:09):
it's not real, although the sore of videos are pretty
good too. Have you seen that.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
The area's number one rated morning show, Let's Go, Let's
Go Jack.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
And Nikki one O two w v AQ Jack and
Nikki back at the health desk. It's not healthy.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
It didn't sound healthy at all.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Oh, I'm not healthy that it's not healthy. It wouldn't
be healthy.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
What's the worst that could happen?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Okay, this is really interesting. A new study published in
e Biomedicine e Biomedicine reveals that laughing gas might be
good for depression. Really okay, really, something you in heale
that makes you laugh is good for your depression?
Speaker 9 (10:59):
Are okay?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
And we're just discovering this. In twenty twenty five, who
could have guessed all these years ago. Oh hey, you
know when when people inhale this, they seem to be
pretty happy. They start to giggle and put it away.
There's no use for that. Participants who inhaled nitrous oxide
at medical doses showed measurable improvements in depression scores as
(11:24):
early as two hours after being treated. And they say
that these findings could be a breakthrough in offering alternatives
to treatments for depression like prozac and zoloft. This is
very interesting to me because and I've talked about this
on the radio before, and I will not be shamed.
(11:47):
I insist on nitrous oxide when I go to the dentist,
I insist you.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Will insist on it, and they just say, okay.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Well, I mean it depends on the procedure. Now they
have drawn the line at doing it during just a cleaning.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Oh right.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
If I go in for a cleaning and X rays
and I'm like, I want the nitress, they go, I'm
probably going to give you a nitross for a cleaning.
But generally, anytime I have to have something done, I
don't sweat it because on one hand, you've got people
digging around in your mouth with a rusty metal hook yes,
and a drill yes, right, yeah, And then there's two
(12:26):
chips coming out everywhere going down your throat. There's smoke
coming out.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Okay, can we not relive it?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
So there's that. There's that on one hand, But here's
the thing. This is how good the nitross is. You
don't care that any of that's happening to you. You
don't care. It takes the fight right out of you.
I've never I love it.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
I've never asked for it. I've never even thought about it.
And I know you do.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
But even once I get to the position, whether I'm
at the dentist and something's going on or I have
to go to my endo with who she is amazing,
love you, Lauren, and.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I just I never think about it because they just
numb me up. And then I'm like, Okay, go for it.
I should Maybe I need to.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Look change my The numbing keeps you from feeling the pain,
but the nitress makes it an enjoyable experience.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
From the depression and anxiety.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
And I lay there and laugh and laugh and laugh,
and God knows what I say. And I mean, I
think that's probably why they're good with hooking me up
on this stuff because I'm sure I reveal the most
intimate personal details. They probably do go through my wallet.
Yeah right, I look up and see him taking a
picture of my credit cards. Put more nitress on him.
(13:34):
And and no matter how much they give me, I
keep asking for more. Like I just keep going, turn
it up, turn it up. They're like, I can't turn
up anymore. You must be standing on the hose. I'm
not getting enough of this stuff anyway. Oh gosh, it works. Okay, yeah,
it works all right. And this may sound like the
ramblings of an insane drug addict.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
No, you sound like the beginning phases of turning into
the Joker and you're going to release your laughing gas
on everybody.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
And Morgan and yeah, well, look, I'm trying to do
a public service because a lot of people are afraid
of the dentist. A lot of people really need to
go and get their teeth taken care of, but they
don't because they're a skeered Yes, So what I'm what
I'm doing now because I care about people and I'm
selfless m h is. I'm sharing this story about my
(14:20):
own life in the hopes of encouraging you to go
and get the dental care that you need. This is
not about me sitting here babbling on about how much
I love laughing gas. If that's what you're taking from this,
you're missing the point.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
You are so selfless, you're not a gatekeeping at all.
But you know it's not going to benefit you at all.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Standing in line in places and everybody's halatosis is gone
because they've now gone to the dentist and they've gotten everything.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Yeah, it's so selfless.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I'm a wonderful man, and everybody knows that. Say, oh, say,
let's talk about no fault insurance now, because well it's
(15:09):
a comedy show, right, And what's funnier than talking about
insurance policies. We don't think anything is funnier. This is
really kind of the height of comedy. Comedy here, this
is the pinnacle of comedy. For those of you who
have your comedy charts at home. Just make your way,
make your way all the way to the top of that,
and that's where this comes in, all right, all right,
(15:32):
you start with the banana peel on the floor, and
then you work your way up to no fault car insurance.
Somebody texted it in and said they moved to Florida
they have no fault car insurance and they got reamed
down there because it cost them a lot more. And
we were talking about this. I did a little research here.
So no fault insurance auto insurance system where your own
(15:53):
insurance company pays for your medical expenses and lost wages
after a car accident, regardless of who is at fault. Okay,
So you get into an accident, there's no longer any Hey,
this person is at fault, so their insurance company will
cover it. Now it's we don't place blame on anyone.
It's just something that happened, and everybody's own insurance company
(16:16):
will cover.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
That's boloney.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
It is unfortunate. And they have a list of pros
and cons here for your no fault insurance. Okay, yeah.
The pros quicker payouts you have to wait on somebody
else's insurance company, your own insurance company deals with it,
fewer lawsuits okay, okay, the cons higher premiums, yeah yes,
and no accountability. Right, which is the part that I'd
(16:40):
like to focus on.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
How how is this benefiting any like? I don't even
see the pros as pros like they don't even seem
like that. No, I don't care.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
No, somebody is at fault.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Was supposed to work.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
I totally agree with what is stopping people from like
just you know, bumper cars everywhere?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Nothing? Yeah, nothing, I mean, I mean, okay, look, quicker payout,
but you're paying higher premiums. I would I'd rather have
a slower payout from somebody else's insurance company and lower
premiums for me. That's what I would rather have. But
this is the part that I really want to focus on,
(17:19):
the no accountability part, that when you have an accident,
somebody is identified as being at fault in that accident,
and when the police show up and write the report,
they will cite somebody for causing the accident. And then
you take that and turn that in on the insurance claim. Hey,
the police cited this person. They were identified as the
person who caused the accident. Yes, now you have You're
(17:42):
guilty of no wrongdoing. You didn't cause the accident, you
didn't do anything wrong. Well, nothing should come out of
your pocket. Then the person who causes the accident, their
insurance company covers the cost of everything. Okay, your medical
bills getting your vehicle fixed, and then their insurance premiums
go up. That is a determ for that person to
drive poorly. It encourages better driving if you have a
(18:05):
financial penalty for not driving. Well, that's how speeding tickets work.
What is going on? Who came up with this no
fault car insurance idea? Who are these.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
Pabel Florida is a weird place, man.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
What's not just Florida? Apparently this is multiple places. And
let's hope to god it doesn't show up here in
West Virginia because who needs the aggravation? What did this? Florida, Hawaiia, Kansas, Kentucky. Oh,
that's getting close, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York,
North Dakota, Oh my god, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania in Utah. Well,
(18:38):
it doesn't get any closer than Pennsylvania, does it. Nope,
there are people listening in Pennsylvania right now. Oh no,
Let's take some calls from our Pennsylvanians. Let's open up
the Jack and Nikki Outland or hotline eight eight eight
seven seven seven sixty six forty call us Texas at
that number. You can also text us at three five
sixty five to one. How about this if you're listening
(19:00):
Sylvania and it's a no fault insurance state. Have you
had an accident where nobody's at fault and now your
insurance company's paying for everything for you, but you have
higher rates? How much higher are your insurance rates?
Speaker 3 (19:14):
I'm curious?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
This is information we need to have, ye because this
is literally just a few miles away from where we're
sitting the line between total chaos and financial destruction, and
you know, a reasonable premium right here on the state line.
(19:34):
Once again, time to turn the show over to you
because you ask for it. You see you ask for it.
You call or text the show with your questions, your
suggestions for topics on the program, and we respond. Because
(19:55):
it's a four hour show and we are not very talented.
I think we're going to come up with the material
for an entire four hour show every day. What are
you out of your mind? Let's farm it out to you, guys.
Studio and text lines are open eight eight eight seven
seven seven sixty six forty caller text that number. You
can text us at three five sixty five to one.
To me, this is kind of an open and shutcase.
(20:19):
Woman texted in and said Jack and I he please
talk about this. I recently told some people that I
did my daughter's homework for her so she would not
fail a class project and subsequent exam.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
People jumped all over me and said I should have
let her fail, but that would demoralize her and kill
her confidence. I was shocked that people said I should
let her fail. What do you think about this? Well,
here's the thing.
Speaker 9 (20:46):
Wow, okay, do I be nice or keep it real?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Nikki Dre keep it real?
Speaker 5 (20:53):
You're the problem.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Oh my, wow, boy, you came out swinging, didn't you. Yeah?
I like that. Okay, please continue.
Speaker 9 (21:00):
You have you can help, but you can't do the
homework for her, Like, You've got to let her do
the homework and maybe like, in the process of helping
with the homework and project, be like ask some questions
to be like, Okay, well did you think.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
About it this way?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
To push her towards the correct solution or the right
answer whatever the homework is. Yeah, just but you can't
just do the project and homework for her.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Let me tell you something that is incredibly reasonable and
well articulated. Oh, thank you, it is. I think you'd
be a good mom. Well, thanks, I really do. I mean,
that's that's smart, that's good, that's exactly right. I totally
agree with everything. Oh okay, I think, Look, it's it's
got to be hard. And I try to think about
this because I don't have kids of my own, so
(21:49):
it's easy for me to go hard line them, you know,
because I don't have them, right, So hardlining my imaginary
kids is no trouble for me. Sure, But I think
that that is part of proper parenting is you do
have to let them fail. You have to let them
make mistakes. You have to let them make bad decisions
and then suffer the consequences. And then once they do,
(22:10):
they learn on their own and then they correct and
they move forward. If you keep stepping in and saving them,
then what you end up with as an adult who
has never really suffered consequences because they've never had any, right, right, So, hey, look,
you don't you don't write the paper, you get an F,
you don't study, you fail the test. Okay, well you
(22:31):
won't do that again now, William.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Right, But and I'm a little confused as to how
helping with this doing the homework for her is going
to help her with the exam down the road, so
she doesn't fail that exam because if she's not doing
the homework, she's obviously going to fail the exam because
she's learned.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Nothing from the homework.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Because the work is a stepping stone to learning so
that you can pass the exam. Right, So yeah, yeah,
you're skipping that step of the learning process.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Indeed you are. Indeed you are. And I would also
just end it with this. Self esteem is good, sure,
but it needs to be based on something. You don't
put the self esteem first and then the other accomplishments
you gotta, you gotta. Self esteem needs to be earned. Yeah, right, I.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Just thought of something because I you, Okay, by doing
the project or homework for your kid, you are now
creating a future employee that is going to steal the
ideas and work from other people and take credit for it.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Probably that's what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Probably, so yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Allegedly, Like I don't know, I'm just I'm just guessing.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Even funnier, you may be creating a future employee who
will have you come into the office and argue with
the boss when things don't go their way.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
The Jack and Nikki Show one two wv AQ.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Jack and Nikki back at the naked news desk.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Giant naked man over the continental United States. You know
that sketch of the naked man in the wheel.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
You never want to see a naked man again.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Sure, I immediately goes to the big naked man man.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
I wish I was naked. I want to bend all
the mappy neked. Well, this time around, the person who
is naked is surprisingly not a man. This is one
of those rare instances where a woman has appeared naked.
And it's not just a woman. It's a woman who
told the story her own self on social media. It's
(24:33):
an audio Daily double. Yes, that's right. It's the story
of a woman so desperate for attention.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
How desperate for attention was she.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
She exposed herself to her gardener and then posted a
video about it. What complete with wacky? Can you believe
this happened? Music? Oh my gosh, let's take asten and
then call her out for staging the entire thing.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
I walk out of my bathroom into my bedroom naked
and we're just standing there face to face.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Now my gardener has seen everything.
Speaker 7 (25:14):
And I don't know how I'm going to look him
in the eyes again, like our relationship will always be
a little bit different. It's going to make for interesting
gardener days from now until forever.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Oh come on exactly, Oh, come on, oh please. You
staged the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
You knew it was gardener day, right, the windows were open.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yep, you knew where he was come. You decided to
walk out naked, and then you just stood there staring
at each other. Sure, you know, like you do when
somebody walks upon you naked. You don't scramble to cover now,
you just stand there.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
You know what.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
I don't even think it happened.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
It probably didn't happen.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
She's just saying words.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yeah, probably so. But let's say this. If it did happen,
and she was truly embarrassed about it, would you really
go out of her way to post a video and
tell everybody and and include the wacky can you believe
this happened? Music?
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Right?
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yeah? Come on?
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Okay, So then we agree this woman is totally full
of full of it. She's full of it, Nikki Drake.
She's making up stuff, she's desperate for attention. And what's
possibly the worst part of all.
Speaker 9 (26:30):
Hey, these guys a big phony.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
She's a great big phony. It's time now to turn
our attention to another Karen citing you guys. Yes, it's
happened again.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
Karen Karen.
Speaker 8 (26:48):
Who is Karen Karen Karen was supposed to?
Speaker 2 (26:54):
That must be Karen Karen Karen the CV Karen is
trending today. Oh Blake, Yeah, that's right. It's the story
of a woman who was in a CVS and she
overheard another woman talking about her dog, and this Karen
(27:17):
thought that the woman was talking about her child. As
luck would have it, the woman who I guess we'll
call the victim in this story, rando social media to
tell everybody about it. Oh good, here's the story.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
I just got name shamed in CBS for my son's name.
I'm at the counter picking up his medicines and they
go like name, birthday, everything, and I say whiskey, and
this lady next to me is like, his medication is
not quite ready yet, I have to go sit down.
She sits down next to me because her medicine isn't
ready at either, and she goes, you'll really name your
son anything?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Huh wow.
Speaker 6 (27:54):
I'm like thriving in this moment because she does not know,
and I'm like well, yeah, that's kind of the beauty
of like naming is you could literally name anything you want.
And she's like, yeah, but don't you think like Wissy's
going to be a horrible name for him to go
through school? What like, aren't people going to bully him?
And I'm like, well, he's a dog, so I think so.
(28:14):
But thank you so much for your time consideration.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
As a dog. Dear God, dear God, this is that
is amazing. I would like to know how the Karen
reacted to that, right, I really want to know where
it went from there. I'd like to think that this
Karen was embarrassed and apologized and said all I misunderstood,
(28:45):
even though you know, it's none of her business.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Should anyway, Yeah, it's none of her business.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Sure, But but I suspect that she probably just doubled
down and kept ranting on about kid names and how
you have to be careful about what you name them
and all that stuff. You know, a lot of times
when people get called out for something they're obviously wrong about,
they just try to dance around it and keep going. Yeah.
But that's really amazing to me, the very notion that
(29:11):
you would have the audacity to sit down beside a stranger,
sigh and go. So I guess you'll just name your
kid anything, won't you. I mean, imagine talking to somebody
like that, right, It's amazing. Oh my gosh, it's just
really amazing to me. So, you know, I'm just wondering,
do you guys think it's ever okay to offer unsolicited
(29:33):
opinions to people, whether it's strangers or people you know.
I'd say it's probably you have a little more wiggle
room with people you know because you have a relationship
with them that's long standing, and probably have a level
of comfort where you can talk a little bit. But
unsolicited opinions offered to strangers on the next morning, call
(29:54):
us now eight eight eight seven seven seven sixty six forty.
You can text us. You can also text us at
three five, six, five to one. I've been thinking about this.
I can't think of a scenario in which it would
be okay to offer an unsolicited opinion to somebody. There's
probably something out there that I'm just not thinking of.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
But hey, you might not want to light that cigarette
while you have your oxygen on.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Well. Now see that's where I was going. There's a
difference between that and unsolicited advice, gotcha right, So unsolicited
advice that's kind of a gray area, and that could
be warranted with the example you just gave, okay, right,
unsolicited advice. I mean like, if you see somebody doing
something like that, then you're trying to help them out
avoid catastrophe. You know, you're at a gas station, you
(30:42):
notice something going on with somebody's vehicle that they maybe
should get taken care of or it's going to be
a prop Hey, you know you might want to take.
But that's unsolicited advice. That's not just your opinion on
how they're living their life, right, that's not you critiquing
their life. So yeah, that to me, that's in my mind,
(31:02):
that's the line. Unsolicited device is one thing, and at
times is acceptable. I cannot come up with a scenario
where it's okay to just offer people your opinions of
their life unsolicited. Let me know if you've got some examples,
let me know what you think.
