If you're listening to the Jack and Niki Show podcast
everywhere you get your podcasts and at WBQ dot com.
Join Jack and Nicky live weekday mornings from six to
ten on one O two WVAQ.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Join us, won't you as Nicky and I take just
a moment to think of the Children's studio lines are
open eight eight eight seven seven seven sixty six forty
call us textus at that number. You can also text
us at three five sixty five to one. As we
discussed the couple making international news for the name they
(00:40):
are considering for their baby. So let's be clear on
this kid hasn't even been named this yet. Right as
far as I'm concerned, the name is not outrageous, and
yet for some reason, people all over at the entire
planet are talking about this, okay, and we are now
among them. So here it is. This is according to
the Daily Mail, there is a couple and they are
(01:06):
considering naming their baby boy Elmo, Elmo Elmo.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Like as in ticklemy you got it?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Okay, now here's here's the reason for this. The husband
has a family tradition people and his family, unfortunately, I guess,
being named Elmo okay, And he says that it was
his great grandfather's name. Okay, And ironically, yes, his great
(01:36):
grandfather did grow up on Sesame Street, which is weird,
just odd coincidence. Can't make it up anyway. So his
wife is like, hang on, I know that this is
a tradition in your family and that was your grandpapa's name.
But you know, when our kid goes to school and
tells everybody's name is Elmo, people aren't going to go, oh, yeah,
like your grandfather. They're going to go, what like Sesame Street.
(02:00):
So they're concerned about a lot of teasing from the
other kids. Sure, and according to this article which I
didn't even know this, but I'm not in the business
of naming children. I guess since Sesame Street started with
the almost stuff, that name has plummeted in popularity.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Well that makes sense because it's now a muppet like.
That makes sense.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
It does, see, that's the thing. It does make sense.
But knowing how society actually operates, usually it would go
in the other direction. If there's a name of a
muppet and it's ridiculous, you wouldn't be surprised if people
would flock to it, right, I wouldn't surprise me.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I think I'm just saying with animated characters for sure.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I think because it's a Muppet, I think that's.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
You're suggesting it's more undignified if it's a muppet. Okay,
that's where the line is. Okay, if it's animated, if
it's something like a cartoon, fine, go with that. But
if it's a muppet, you know, too far sounds ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
That's just how my brain has now pieced it together.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
That maybe what it is. That may very well be.
The question now is should they name this kid Elmo
or not? In honor of the Grandpapa and let the
chips fall in the soup? Nikki Drake, what would you
do in this situation?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
A middle name?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Yeah, compromise middle name, yeah, you can have two middle names,
doesn't matter how many middle names you know, like, just
throw it in there in the middle.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
But not first name, not first name, not going first
name Almo.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I don't think I would be able to do that, Okay, yeah,
even for you know, the animals.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
What if the great grandfather starts spinning in his grave
to express displeasure, would that change anything?
Speaker 4 (03:47):
I would definitely go middle name to cause this so
that I could record it and go viral, because the
spinning in the grave is rare.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
That is true. Yeah, yeah, okay, this is why we
have a conversation eight eight eight seven seven seven sixty
six forty or text us again at that number. You
can text us at three five sixty five one. I
see we've got some phones ringing here. We'll see what
you guys have to say. I have a few thoughts
I'd like to toss in on this, and we will
do it next. The whole world has gone nuts over this,
(04:20):
and they're saying, look, Elmo is a family name. It
was the husband's great grandfather's name runs in that family.
So they're not naming the kid after Elmo from Sesame Street.
But they have enough sense to know that everybody will
think that that's where the name came from. When the
kid goes to school. Invariably people are going to hear
Elmo and think Sesame Street. Yes, So they're trying to
(04:44):
decide if this is wrong to name him Elmo, and
perhaps even as some have suggested a form of abuse,
which seems kind of strong. Wow, yeah right, very strong,
very strong. Let's go to your calls here and see
what you guys have to say. You're all with Jack
and Nikki. What do you think?
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Good morning Farsov. So I feel like the kid is,
you know, just being born, and kids these days, like
when he gets to like eight, nine, ten, eleven, they
don't really know Sesame Street. Like it's not popular. So
I don't feel like it's a bad thing, but it
(05:26):
is a little corny.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Let me let me ask you. Let me let me
ask you a clarifying question here. If kids at the
age of eight, nine and ten aren't watching Sesame Street, who.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Is I don't know, because I don't like my kid's eleven,
so he's he's seen Sesame Street, but he was never
like really exposed to it. He knows who Elmo is
because like when he was like three or four. Yeah,
he kind of like had that area where he knew
who Elma was only because of all the toys in
(05:57):
the store, not so much of watching Sesame Street.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
By the way, what is the target audience for Sesame Street.
It's younger than that, right, was like four or five?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah, it's younger.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yeah, but by the time you're raided nine yeah, okay, okay,
so by by the time you're Raider nine. You're you're jaded,
You're like Sesame Street. What a bunch of puppets? What
are you smoking? A secrette.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
So, I mean if it was like a kid, like
when I was young and I heard a kid named Elmo,
I probably would have laughed. I probably would have tried
to tickle them.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah, well, try to tickle it. Wow.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
You know what, I don't even think about that.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I think about the tickling. Oh that makes it even better.
I didn't consent to be touched. Yeah, okay, all right,
So you're saying, just avoid it, don't name a Melmo.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Yeah, maybe give them the middle name Elmo.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Okay, okay, all right, very good, thank you, I have
a great day. You two so pretty much in line
with your philosophy there.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Then yeah, yeah, middle name, I think that works.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Middle name Elmo sounds like some type of an investigative
series or something, code name Elmo. Okay. So here's what
I find interesting about all of this. I really do
find this very interesting because I think you could make
a couple of different arguments here, and I think they're
both acceptable. Okay, on one hand, if you want to
(07:17):
name your kid Elmo because that's a family name, and
it means something to you. You don't want to be
deterred from doing that or anything really in your life
because of the opinions of other people. That's not a
good way to go through life, right, sure, Because now
you are bending to the will of others, you're making
decisions in your life and the things that you want
(07:40):
to do with your life because you were concerned about
how other people are going to react to that. That's
not a good way to go through life. So I
think that's a good argument. On the other hand, you
don't want to purposely set your kid up for a
bunch of added hassles. Life is hard enough as it is.
Why throw in one additional roadblock? So I can see
(08:01):
that argument as well. And I think probably where I
come in on that is when you're making decisions for
yourself and your own life, you stick with the I'm
not going to be deterred by others opinions. But you
can't apply that to making a decision about somebody else's life,
a decision as big as their own name. Yeah, because
(08:23):
this kid isn't choosing to be named this, He's not
choosing that's a big responsibility, right, So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
so I think, I mean, I think you probably just
don't want to set your kid up to have a
bunch of hassles. Yeah, I agree, So I get that.
And you could also argue that teasing would make him
(08:45):
more resilient and add strength of character, because you know,
that's how muscles grow through resistance, and that's how the
mind grows as well. So because kid's going to have
I think, potentially a really strong sense of who he
is if he spends his child calihood to deal with this. Yeah, Yeah,
that's true, because you're not going to have a weak mind.
(09:06):
If you know yourself and how to defend yourself, you'll
be a much stronger adult. Yeah, because the path to
strength is not having no resistance.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
So again, there's a lot to consider here. There's a
lot to consider middle name and maybe I'm considering too much, Nikki,
and he text, you want to get too here before
I get to the calls. Okay. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
When picking my son's name, we thought about how it
could how could this name be twisted to be picked on?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
That's a yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
My friends when they were naming.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Their kids, absolutely we all sat around trying to make
fun of the name.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Sure, yeah. Yeah, and as a result, the kid ended
up having no name at all, and he's gone through
life nameless. Right, you can probably make a pretty good
joke out of about any name.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Just about yeah, which because you there's going to be something.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Right that adds to this then, right, I mean, because
you're everybody's kind of trying to find a work around
for this, but really, just about any name, you're gonna
get something.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
You can find it.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, you wouldn't believe what the kids used to do
with my name. It was pretty aggressive, I'm sure, and
I'm sure those of you who have a little bit
of imagination can think of some things. Right now, let's
go to the calls here, unless you had another text
you wanted to get to. Oh no, all right, you're
on with Jack and Nikki. What you got.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
I just wanted to comment on the name. Yes, I
just want to go with that name.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
That can always give him a nickname and just call
him th.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Okay, yeah, I mean that's a guy.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Yeah, just a suggestion, you know, that might not That
might work out as far as he's in school and
along that line.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
You know, it could be a first name, but then
call him by his middle name. M hm, you could,
so that way it stays with the family tradition.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Yeah, yeah, there are some workarounds here. Yeah, but you
know you can also you could name the kid legally,
as she said, Elmo, and then just use any nickname
you want that doesn't even have any association with my
I remember I went to school with the kid. They
called him Buck. I don't know what his name was.
(11:18):
I still don't know what his legal name was. I
just know, you know, once in a while he would
run off into the woods and get into fights with
the deer and he'd come back all scraped up. But yeah,
they called him buck, So you know that's I think
you're onto something there. Look at this, we're finding solutions.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
Yeah, look at this.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Well, we appreciate the call. Thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
Yeah you too.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Okay, studio lines continuing to light up here, Nikki. Unless
you have another text you want to go to, I'm
going right back to the phones. Let's hear your text.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Got tons of text same thing. Being named Sue made.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Johnny Cash tough, So I think young Elmo won't be
anyone's puppet. Wow.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Wow, that is I forgot about a boy named Sue.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Yeah, a lot of text coming in about it.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
That's wow, that's I can't believe I totally based on that.
That's that is That is a perfect example of what
I was talking about earlier. Yeah, about you know, building
resilience in life early on, you go through struggles, it
toughens you up.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Yeah, that's really interesting. I love a Johnny Cash reference. Okay,
there's a lot of people timing ino, sir, you get
the last word on this, off you go. Then what
you got.
Speaker 7 (12:36):
My side of it is the pride of being able
to carry on a family name. And more than likely,
as the child grows, he's probably going to develop a
nickname and he's going to be called Mo by everybody.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Sure, yeah, imagine.
Speaker 7 (12:51):
And but yeah, I mean just just a pride of
being able to carry my grandfather's name. Uh, I would
have taken that. And my grandfather's first name was Claude.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Claude, Okay, Claude.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
You know when you look at it now, I mean,
you don't hear of anybody being named Claude. M But yeah,
my grandfather's first name was Claude.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
You know what, When I was a kid, we had
there was some older guy in our family named Claude,
and I can't remember who he was, but we always
obviously instead of calling him Claude, we called him Claude
and we would.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
Yeah, yeah, so Claude or Claude.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah, yeah, where does Claude come from? Got out to
hear you Claude? You know they kind of talk.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
Yeah, but no, I'd be honored if I was him,
just to be able to carry my grandfather's name on.
He might resent it when he's young, Yeah, but like
I say, being able to just pick up a nickname
and then all the family would eventually just start calling
him Moe as well. You know, they wouldn't call him
by his first name.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
That's that's a fair point that we hadn't really thought about.
There could be a few tough years when you're younger
with the teasing, but then you grow into it and
you come to claim it and really like it. Yeah,
that's a good point. That's a good point. All right, man,
appreciate it. Ye be good, I see it. No promises.
Let me finish it with this, Okay, As we're talking
(14:13):
about how the kid, he could be named Elmo and
then have a nickname which may be Mo, or it
could be something else. Entirely unrelated to that. And that's
the example I'm going to give you right now. Okay, okay,
I went to school with a guy named JD. That
we all his name was JD. We called him JD. Okay, okay,
(14:35):
find out after we graduate years later that his real
name was otis.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
What does that have to do with JD?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
What?
Speaker 2 (14:43):
This is my point. Name him whatever you want, call
him whatever you want, and let's go home with our lives.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
The Jack and Nikki Show one two wv AQ.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Are you looking for a new dog for your family,
Not just any dog, but the kind of dog that
won't bite you in the face. Well, we'll tell you
which dog that is, because we have the most obedient
dog breed. Yes, and you will not be surprised to learn. Nikki,
(15:13):
would you like to take a guess, Well, it's a
Labrador Retriever.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Oh okay.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Labrador Retrievers have been crowned the most obedient dog breed. Yes.
They're known for their intelligence, strong will to please, and
kind nature. They are quick to learn, and they basically
they just want you to be happy. That's their goal
in life. And they make ideal family pets due to
(15:41):
their patient nature.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Conversely, if you want a pet that refuses to learn,
does not care what you think, and is often contemptuous
of your very existence, get a cat. Oh that's right,
it's another dog story. We're gonna make about cats, because
that's what we do. We start out saying nice things
(16:05):
about dogs, and then we always make our way over
to the cat community.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Yeah. I don't know why I didn't see that coming.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I'm curious about cat owners like us. I don't know.
I don't know what's wrong with us, because most people
like this story about Labrador retrievers. You see their description. Hey,
they're smart, they're eager to please, they want you to
be happy, they're patient with you and your kids. And
as a cat owner, you go. Not for me. I
(16:33):
want an animal that a challenge, has total disdain for me,
An animal that I have to beg to pay attention
to me that really just has no interest in me
at all. Oh my gosh, I don't know. I find
that so entertaining. With cats. I love the attitude they
just don't care what you think. They don't care, and
I find that entertaining. And also they're huge jerks. Just recently,
(16:55):
I had a friend put in a new litter robot. Okay, yes,
and her cat did not like the little robot was
kind of freaked out about it, and to express his displeasure,
the cat pooped in her bed. No, this is what
I'm saying about cats. Wow. Okay, first of all, let's
(17:18):
just admit it. That's hilarious. Okay. The cat did not
like the new litter pooped in her bed to send
a strong message.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
That is a very strong message.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Okay. Now, a few years ago, Jessica and I were
living in Jane lou and there was a flood and
our basement got flooded, and that just happened to be
where our cat's litter box was. It was down there.
So our ratcat at the time was walking down the stairs,
gets down there, sees i don't know, a couple of
(17:50):
inches of water in the floor, and like the litter
pan goes floating by. She went back upstairs and pooped
in our recliner. Went into the living room and pooped
in the recliner. Yep, yeah, not just hey, I'll poop
here on the steps. I'll go up and poop in
(18:11):
the corner somewhere. No, no, in the recliner. Sending the
message get this straightened out. I want the basement cleaned out,
I want the floor dry, I want the litter back
where it's supposed to be. And until my demands are met,
I'll be pooping in your recliner. This is life with
a cat. And you know what, for some reason, I
(18:31):
wouldn't have it any other way. I think that is
endlessly entertaining. This may seem odd to you, but a
lot of times my questions are so let's just get
on with it, and I want to toss this out.
We'll just begin with you, Nikki Drake. Okay, is it
(18:54):
some type of a thought crime to be attracted to
someone who looks almost exactly like your own mate?
Speaker 3 (19:03):
A thought crime?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Yeah? Now, I'll tell you how this came up. There
was a story, I think earlier this week that we
didn't get to. You know, we do triage, going through
preparing our material for the program, and sometimes it just
doesn't make the cut. Sure, okay, So we had other
things to talk about, but it was this guy and
he was telling his wife that he saw this really
(19:26):
beautiful woman in a store who looked exactly like her,
and they were kind of at an impasse. Because the
wife was like, wait a minute, you were looking at
another woman and you thought she was really beautiful and
you were and he was like, yeah, yeah, she was gorgeous,
but she looked exactly like you. Okay, She's like, so
you found her attractive? I did, but it's another woman, right,
(19:47):
but she looks exactly like you. Right, So in a
roundabout way, I'm saying you're beautiful, yeah, because this woman
looked like you. And so it was like, who's on
first routine?
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Right, and that the stranger, beautiful woman, stranger made him
think of his wife.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Yeah, because it so because she looks so much like her.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Not a thought crime?
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Okay? Is it? Would it be weird to you if
Dave was lusting in his heart perhaps for a woman
who looks exactly like you.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I doubt there would be lusting of the heart.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Well, you never know, he's a complicated man.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Sure.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Uh that's a that's deeper level though than just a
oh gosh, looks exactly like yeah, you know, my spouse.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Absolutely beautiful and you're attracted to that?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Would yeah? So you would rather than Dave be attracted
to women who look exactly like you than women who
look nothing like you.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Huh. You know, I've never thought about this before.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Why would you? It's insane eight eight eight seven seven
seven sixty six forty or text us. This is my
question to you, okay, because I will tell you that
that I am attracted to women who look like Jessica.
I definitely have a type. Okay, Yeah, well I wear
the ginger lover shirt. I like redheads. I do curly
(21:13):
red hair. It just it goes right through and I
love it. And so one time, a few years ago,
Jessica and I were at a store down near Beckley,
and I've never forgotten this. The woman who checked us
out looked very similar to Jessica, and they were standing
there talking to each other, and Jesse it looked over
(21:33):
me and I was like trembling, and I had tears
in my eyes and I was having trouble articulated. She
was like, what's wrong with you? What's happening? Was like,
are you having a stroke? I think I am? I
think stroke? So you know that that's kind of how
I am. I mean, it was an amazing thing to
(21:54):
see just two redheaded Barbie dolls.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Just gosh.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
So back to you, okay, what would you prefer I.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Don't think I have a preference.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Obviously, you don't care who Dave's attracted to as long
as that.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
You I mean, as long as he's still attracted to me. Yeah, absolutely,
But yeah, find somebody else attractive, like that's fine, that's yeah,
the wrong answer.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I don't think there is a wrong answer. I don't
even understand the question, and I'm the one posing it.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
But I don't think I could put boundaries on that.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
This just this whole conversation between this guy and his
wife just got me to thinking about how interesting that
is if your spouse comes home and they're like, hey,
I saw this beautiful person who looked exactly like you.
Oh okay, all right, studio and text lines are open.
What do you guys think you are on the Jack
(22:48):
and Nikki Show? What would you like to say?
Speaker 6 (22:52):
I don't think it's wrong to be attracted to people
that look like your significant others. I think it's wrong
when you act your attraction. For example, today's social media.
You know, is it okay if you're man likes other
girls pictures? Is it's not okay? How do you feel
about it? I've never cared about anything like that, as
long as I know where his heart is. Yeah, and
(23:15):
it's with me, then what can I get upset about?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Yeah, when you think about it, it seems pointless to
cheat on your spouse with someone who looks exactly like them,
doesn't it It does.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
It would make absolutely no sense to say, oh, okay, right,
it's the same person as.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Me, right right. It would just be so strange, anything wrong. Yeah,
I mean, at least if they cheat with somebody doesn't
look like you, they could make the argument. I was
looking for variety. I just wanted something different. But it
was like, yeah, this person looks exactly like me, Why
would you cheat? I don't know why. The lighting was dim,
(23:59):
I thought you. I don't know how it happened.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
His brain was dim.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
And the thing is, in today's world of like you know, gender, sostrality,
et cetera, et cetera, you don't even know what's considered
cheating anymore because you have these open relationships, you have this,
you have that every couple has their boundaries. So sometimes
you don't even know what's considered cheating anymore because, oh,
we don't know what goes on in that couple's relationships.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
I just had a great idea for a relationship with
very specific boundaries. Okay, Okay, you have an open marriage,
but your spouse can only cheat on you with people
who look exactly like you. Okay, how about that?
Speaker 3 (24:38):
That is a very specific boundary, very specific. That would
make things very difficult.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Right. And if you go they cheat there they you know,
they they're with somebody else and you look at the
person to go, their hair color is slightly different from
mind get out. That's not what we agreed to, all right, ma'am,
thanks for the call, Thank you. There's a man in
Nebraska who for some reason keeps having people show up
(25:06):
at his house because they think it's a taco bell. Yeah,
and he is making national news because of his unique
way of dealing with this. It's you. According to the story,
this man, Brian Bear, is struggling in particular with food
delivery drivers mistaking his home for a taco bell. And
(25:30):
it's like door dash drivers. They're getting an incorrect address
and they're being sent to his home to pick up
food to take to their customers. Ok. And when they
show up, he answers the door at his house, his house,
his home, his residence, that's right, And he explains to
these doordashers, clearly, this is not a Taco bell, and
(25:53):
they're like, yeah, great, do you have the order or
don't you and he says, no, I don't have the order.
This is this is my residents. This is not a
place of business, right all right, maybe you've seen a
taco bell. They usually have some signs up that read
Taco bell bell, glass windows, usually a drive through customers.
This is my home. Okay. So this has been going
(26:17):
on for a while and he cannot get these door
dashers to stop showing up at his house. So what
he did, oh boy, was he he got some Taco
bell bags and he filled them with cat poop. No,
so he would go and clean his cat litter box
out and put it in a Taco bell bag. And
(26:38):
when the door dashers would show up and say hey, yeah,
I've got an order here, blad Blight say yeah, here
you go, and he'd hand them a Taco bell bag
full of cat poop. Okay, Well, that didn't go over
very well. And I guess one of these door dashers
actually called the police on this guy, and so the
sheriff's office they showed up to talk to this man
(27:01):
about what is going on. Sure, and fortunately you know,
cameras are rolling, and we do have very interesting exchange
between this guy, Brian Bear and the police officer who
showed up to talk to him about handing out bags
of his own cat crap and Taco Bell bag. Here
you go.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
So we get a call from door Dash.
Speaker 7 (27:23):
Okay, he said he.
Speaker 6 (27:24):
Came here and picked up a Taco Bell package.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
But this isn't a Taco Bell.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
So he was really confused.
Speaker 7 (27:30):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
I tried calling Taco Bell.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
I tried calling gor Dash. They're like, sorry, dude.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Okay, well he's saying that you picked up this bag.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Yeah, I gave that to him.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
You gave this turn. So what's in the bag?
Speaker 7 (27:44):
Uh cat?
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Oh yeah, okay, all.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Right, I'm trying to solve this problem creating.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
Okay, well we'll get out of your hair.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Yeah, you're talking with us, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Absolutely, that's it. Okay, got the answer, going to walk
away now.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
I love this. This poor guy. He said he contacted
Taco Bell, he contacted door Dash, and he can't get
them to stop coming to his house to pick up food. Yeah,
so handsome bags full of cat poop and what's really
funny if somebody called the police. What did they think
the police would do? They're going to his house.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Yeah, you are loitering almost, it's the very least if
not trespassing.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Yeah, and in demanding product, and he's like, look, I'm
not running a taco bell. I think this is amazing.
First of all, I love the fact that he did this.
I like the way he handled it. As he said,
I'm trying to find a creative solution, right, Yeah, you know,
maybe they'll stop me.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I doubt it.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
How long would it take, like now that you have
you know, bags of you know, cat extcrement being you know,
trying to be delivered. Now, like, how long until they
actually fix the situation with door dash and taco bell?
Speaker 2 (29:11):
You know what I think? First of all, you and
I were talking about this off the air, and our
confusion is with these door dashers who pull into this
guy's driveway and see that it's a house and still
go up to the door and ask for the food.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
I mean, I don't know if this guy's in a
neighborhood or not, but if you start driving through a
development to try to get to a taco bell, like
there's a problem here.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Right, do you not have any context clues. Yeah, okay, again,
it's clearly not a restaurant, so there's that clearly. But
what I'm wondering is if this guy's gonna make his
situation even worse because these door dashers will now take
this bag of cat poop and deliver it and people like, Wow,
this is the best taco Bell ever had, this one,
(30:00):
not two.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Don't you mean to
If you're listening to the Jack and Niki Show podcast
everywhere you get your podcasts and at WBQ dot com.
Join Jack and Nicky live weekday mornings from six to
ten on one O two WVAQ.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Join us, won't you as Nicky and I take just
a moment to think of the Children's studio lines are
open eight eight eight seven seven seven sixty six forty
call us textus at that number. You can also text
us at three five sixty five to one. As we
discussed the couple making international news for the name they
(00:40):
are considering for their baby. So let's be clear on
this kid hasn't even been named this yet. Right as
far as I'm concerned, the name is not outrageous, and
yet for some reason, people all over at the entire
planet are talking about this, okay, and we are now
among them. So here it is. This is according to
the Daily Mail, there is a couple and they are
(01:06):
considering naming their baby boy Elmo, Elmo Elmo.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Like as in ticklemy you got it?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Okay, now here's here's the reason for this. The husband
has a family tradition people and his family, unfortunately, I guess,
being named Elmo okay, And he says that it was
his great grandfather's name. Okay, And ironically, yes, his great
(01:36):
grandfather did grow up on Sesame Street, which is weird,
just odd coincidence. Can't make it up anyway. So his
wife is like, hang on, I know that this is
a tradition in your family and that was your grandpapa's name.
But you know, when our kid goes to school and
tells everybody's name is Elmo, people aren't going to go, oh, yeah,
like your grandfather. They're going to go, what like Sesame Street.
(02:00):
So they're concerned about a lot of teasing from the
other kids. Sure, and according to this article which I
didn't even know this, but I'm not in the business
of naming children. I guess since Sesame Street started with
the almost stuff, that name has plummeted in popularity.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Well that makes sense because it's now a muppet like.
That makes sense.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
It does, see, that's the thing. It does make sense.
But knowing how society actually operates, usually it would go
in the other direction. If there's a name of a
muppet and it's ridiculous, you wouldn't be surprised if people
would flock to it, right, I wouldn't surprise me.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I think I'm just saying with animated characters for sure.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I think because it's a Muppet, I think that's.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
You're suggesting it's more undignified if it's a muppet. Okay,
that's where the line is. Okay, if it's animated, if
it's something like a cartoon, fine, go with that. But
if it's a muppet, you know, too far sounds ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
That's just how my brain has now pieced it together.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
That maybe what it is. That may very well be.
The question now is should they name this kid Elmo
or not? In honor of the Grandpapa and let the
chips fall in the soup? Nikki Drake, what would you
do in this situation?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
A middle name?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Yeah, compromise middle name, yeah, you can have two middle names,
doesn't matter how many middle names you know, like, just
throw it in there in the middle.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
But not first name, not first name, not going first
name Almo.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I don't think I would be able to do that, Okay, yeah,
even for you know, the animals.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
What if the great grandfather starts spinning in his grave
to express displeasure, would that change anything?
Speaker 4 (03:47):
I would definitely go middle name to cause this so
that I could record it and go viral, because the
spinning in the grave is rare.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
That is true. Yeah, yeah, okay, this is why we
have a conversation eight eight eight seven seven seven sixty
six forty or text us again at that number. You
can text us at three five sixty five one. I
see we've got some phones ringing here. We'll see what
you guys have to say. I have a few thoughts
I'd like to toss in on this, and we will
do it next. The whole world has gone nuts over this,
(04:20):
and they're saying, look, Elmo is a family name. It
was the husband's great grandfather's name runs in that family.
So they're not naming the kid after Elmo from Sesame Street.
But they have enough sense to know that everybody will
think that that's where the name came from. When the
kid goes to school. Invariably people are going to hear
Elmo and think Sesame Street. Yes, So they're trying to
(04:44):
decide if this is wrong to name him Elmo, and
perhaps even as some have suggested a form of abuse,
which seems kind of strong. Wow, yeah right, very strong,
very strong. Let's go to your calls here and see
what you guys have to say. You're all with Jack
and Nikki. What do you think?
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Good morning Farsov. So I feel like the kid is,
you know, just being born, and kids these days, like
when he gets to like eight, nine, ten, eleven, they
don't really know Sesame Street. Like it's not popular. So
I don't feel like it's a bad thing, but it
(05:26):
is a little corny.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Let me let me ask you. Let me let me
ask you a clarifying question here. If kids at the
age of eight, nine and ten aren't watching Sesame Street, who.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Is I don't know, because I don't like my kid's eleven,
so he's he's seen Sesame Street, but he was never
like really exposed to it. He knows who Elmo is
because like when he was like three or four. Yeah,
he kind of like had that area where he knew
who Elma was only because of all the toys in
(05:57):
the store, not so much of watching Sesame Street.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
By the way, what is the target audience for Sesame Street.
It's younger than that, right, was like four or five?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah, it's younger.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yeah, but by the time you're raided nine yeah, okay, okay,
so by by the time you're Raider nine. You're you're jaded,
You're like Sesame Street. What a bunch of puppets? What
are you smoking? A secrette.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
So, I mean if it was like a kid, like
when I was young and I heard a kid named Elmo,
I probably would have laughed. I probably would have tried
to tickle them.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah, well, try to tickle it. Wow.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
You know what, I don't even think about that.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I think about the tickling. Oh that makes it even better.
I didn't consent to be touched. Yeah, okay, all right,
So you're saying, just avoid it, don't name a Melmo.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Yeah, maybe give them the middle name Elmo.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Okay, okay, all right, very good, thank you, I have
a great day. You two so pretty much in line
with your philosophy there.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Then yeah, yeah, middle name, I think that works.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Middle name Elmo sounds like some type of an investigative
series or something, code name Elmo. Okay. So here's what
I find interesting about all of this. I really do
find this very interesting because I think you could make
a couple of different arguments here, and I think they're
both acceptable. Okay, on one hand, if you want to
(07:17):
name your kid Elmo because that's a family name, and
it means something to you. You don't want to be
deterred from doing that or anything really in your life
because of the opinions of other people. That's not a
good way to go through life, right, sure, Because now
you are bending to the will of others, you're making
decisions in your life and the things that you want
(07:40):
to do with your life because you were concerned about
how other people are going to react to that. That's
not a good way to go through life. So I
think that's a good argument. On the other hand, you
don't want to purposely set your kid up for a
bunch of added hassles. Life is hard enough as it is.
Why throw in one additional roadblock? So I can see
(08:01):
that argument as well. And I think probably where I
come in on that is when you're making decisions for
yourself and your own life, you stick with the I'm
not going to be deterred by others opinions. But you
can't apply that to making a decision about somebody else's life,
a decision as big as their own name. Yeah, because
(08:23):
this kid isn't choosing to be named this, He's not
choosing that's a big responsibility, right, So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
so I think, I mean, I think you probably just
don't want to set your kid up to have a
bunch of hassles. Yeah, I agree, So I get that.
And you could also argue that teasing would make him
(08:45):
more resilient and add strength of character, because you know,
that's how muscles grow through resistance, and that's how the
mind grows as well. So because kid's going to have
I think, potentially a really strong sense of who he
is if he spends his child calihood to deal with this. Yeah, Yeah,
that's true, because you're not going to have a weak mind.
(09:06):
If you know yourself and how to defend yourself, you'll
be a much stronger adult. Yeah, because the path to
strength is not having no resistance.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
So again, there's a lot to consider here. There's a
lot to consider middle name and maybe I'm considering too much, Nikki,
and he text, you want to get too here before
I get to the calls. Okay. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
When picking my son's name, we thought about how it
could how could this name be twisted to be picked on?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
That's a yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
My friends when they were naming.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Their kids, absolutely we all sat around trying to make
fun of the name.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Sure, yeah. Yeah, and as a result, the kid ended
up having no name at all, and he's gone through
life nameless. Right, you can probably make a pretty good
joke out of about any name.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Just about yeah, which because you there's going to be something.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Right that adds to this then, right, I mean, because
you're everybody's kind of trying to find a work around
for this, but really, just about any name, you're gonna
get something.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
You can find it.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, you wouldn't believe what the kids used to do
with my name. It was pretty aggressive, I'm sure, and
I'm sure those of you who have a little bit
of imagination can think of some things. Right now, let's
go to the calls here, unless you had another text
you wanted to get to. Oh no, all right, you're
on with Jack and Nikki. What you got.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
I just wanted to comment on the name. Yes, I
just want to go with that name.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
That can always give him a nickname and just call
him th.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Okay, yeah, I mean that's a guy.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Yeah, just a suggestion, you know, that might not That
might work out as far as he's in school and
along that line.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
You know, it could be a first name, but then
call him by his middle name. M hm, you could,
so that way it stays with the family tradition.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Yeah, yeah, there are some workarounds here. Yeah, but you
know you can also you could name the kid legally,
as she said, Elmo, and then just use any nickname
you want that doesn't even have any association with my
I remember I went to school with the kid. They
called him Buck. I don't know what his name was.
(11:18):
I still don't know what his legal name was. I
just know, you know, once in a while he would
run off into the woods and get into fights with
the deer and he'd come back all scraped up. But yeah,
they called him buck, So you know that's I think
you're onto something there. Look at this, we're finding solutions.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
Yeah, look at this.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Well, we appreciate the call. Thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
Yeah you too.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Okay, studio lines continuing to light up here, Nikki. Unless
you have another text you want to go to, I'm
going right back to the phones. Let's hear your text.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Got tons of text same thing. Being named Sue made.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Johnny Cash tough, So I think young Elmo won't be
anyone's puppet. Wow.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Wow, that is I forgot about a boy named Sue.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Yeah, a lot of text coming in about it.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
That's wow, that's I can't believe I totally based on that.
That's that is That is a perfect example of what
I was talking about earlier. Yeah, about you know, building
resilience in life early on, you go through struggles, it
toughens you up.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Yeah, that's really interesting. I love a Johnny Cash reference. Okay,
there's a lot of people timing ino, sir, you get
the last word on this, off you go. Then what
you got.
Speaker 7 (12:36):
My side of it is the pride of being able
to carry on a family name. And more than likely,
as the child grows, he's probably going to develop a
nickname and he's going to be called Mo by everybody.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Sure, yeah, imagine.
Speaker 7 (12:51):
And but yeah, I mean just just a pride of
being able to carry my grandfather's name. Uh, I would
have taken that. And my grandfather's first name was Claude.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Claude, Okay, Claude.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
You know when you look at it now, I mean,
you don't hear of anybody being named Claude. M But yeah,
my grandfather's first name was Claude.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
You know what, When I was a kid, we had
there was some older guy in our family named Claude,
and I can't remember who he was, but we always
obviously instead of calling him Claude, we called him Claude
and we would.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
Yeah, yeah, so Claude or Claude.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah, yeah, where does Claude come from? Got out to
hear you Claude? You know they kind of talk.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
Yeah, but no, I'd be honored if I was him,
just to be able to carry my grandfather's name on.
He might resent it when he's young, Yeah, but like
I say, being able to just pick up a nickname
and then all the family would eventually just start calling
him Moe as well. You know, they wouldn't call him
by his first name.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
That's that's a fair point that we hadn't really thought about.
There could be a few tough years when you're younger
with the teasing, but then you grow into it and
you come to claim it and really like it. Yeah,
that's a good point. That's a good point. All right, man,
appreciate it. Ye be good, I see it. No promises.
Let me finish it with this, Okay, As we're talking
(14:13):
about how the kid, he could be named Elmo and
then have a nickname which may be Mo, or it
could be something else. Entirely unrelated to that. And that's
the example I'm going to give you right now. Okay, okay,
I went to school with a guy named JD. That
we all his name was JD. We called him JD. Okay, okay,
(14:35):
find out after we graduate years later that his real
name was otis.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
What does that have to do with JD?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
What?
Speaker 2 (14:43):
This is my point. Name him whatever you want, call
him whatever you want, and let's go home with our lives.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
The Jack and Nikki Show one two wv AQ.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Are you looking for a new dog for your family,
Not just any dog, but the kind of dog that
won't bite you in the face. Well, we'll tell you
which dog that is, because we have the most obedient
dog breed. Yes, and you will not be surprised to learn. Nikki,
(15:13):
would you like to take a guess, Well, it's a
Labrador Retriever.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Oh okay.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Labrador Retrievers have been crowned the most obedient dog breed. Yes.
They're known for their intelligence, strong will to please, and
kind nature. They are quick to learn, and they basically
they just want you to be happy. That's their goal
in life. And they make ideal family pets due to
(15:41):
their patient nature.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Conversely, if you want a pet that refuses to learn,
does not care what you think, and is often contemptuous
of your very existence, get a cat. Oh that's right,
it's another dog story. We're gonna make about cats, because
that's what we do. We start out saying nice things
(16:05):
about dogs, and then we always make our way over
to the cat community.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Yeah. I don't know why I didn't see that coming.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I'm curious about cat owners like us. I don't know.
I don't know what's wrong with us, because most people
like this story about Labrador retrievers. You see their description. Hey,
they're smart, they're eager to please, they want you to
be happy, they're patient with you and your kids. And
as a cat owner, you go. Not for me. I
(16:33):
want an animal that a challenge, has total disdain for me,
An animal that I have to beg to pay attention
to me that really just has no interest in me
at all. Oh my gosh, I don't know. I find
that so entertaining. With cats. I love the attitude they
just don't care what you think. They don't care, and
I find that entertaining. And also they're huge jerks. Just recently,
(16:55):
I had a friend put in a new litter robot. Okay, yes,
and her cat did not like the little robot was
kind of freaked out about it, and to express his displeasure,
the cat pooped in her bed. No, this is what
I'm saying about cats. Wow. Okay, first of all, let's
(17:18):
just admit it. That's hilarious. Okay. The cat did not
like the new litter pooped in her bed to send
a strong message.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
That is a very strong message.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Okay. Now, a few years ago, Jessica and I were
living in Jane lou and there was a flood and
our basement got flooded, and that just happened to be
where our cat's litter box was. It was down there.
So our ratcat at the time was walking down the stairs,
gets down there, sees i don't know, a couple of
(17:50):
inches of water in the floor, and like the litter
pan goes floating by. She went back upstairs and pooped
in our recliner. Went into the living room and pooped
in the recliner. Yep, yeah, not just hey, I'll poop
here on the steps. I'll go up and poop in
(18:11):
the corner somewhere. No, no, in the recliner. Sending the
message get this straightened out. I want the basement cleaned out,
I want the floor dry, I want the litter back
where it's supposed to be. And until my demands are met,
I'll be pooping in your recliner. This is life with
a cat. And you know what, for some reason, I
(18:31):
wouldn't have it any other way. I think that is
endlessly entertaining. This may seem odd to you, but a
lot of times my questions are so let's just get
on with it, and I want to toss this out.
We'll just begin with you, Nikki Drake. Okay, is it
(18:54):
some type of a thought crime to be attracted to
someone who looks almost exactly like your own mate?
Speaker 3 (19:03):
A thought crime?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Yeah? Now, I'll tell you how this came up. There
was a story, I think earlier this week that we
didn't get to. You know, we do triage, going through
preparing our material for the program, and sometimes it just
doesn't make the cut. Sure, okay, So we had other
things to talk about, but it was this guy and
he was telling his wife that he saw this really
(19:26):
beautiful woman in a store who looked exactly like her,
and they were kind of at an impasse. Because the
wife was like, wait a minute, you were looking at
another woman and you thought she was really beautiful and
you were and he was like, yeah, yeah, she was gorgeous,
but she looked exactly like you. Okay, She's like, so
you found her attractive? I did, but it's another woman, right,
(19:47):
but she looks exactly like you. Right, So in a
roundabout way, I'm saying you're beautiful, yeah, because this woman
looked like you. And so it was like, who's on
first routine?
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Right, and that the stranger, beautiful woman, stranger made him
think of his wife.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Yeah, because it so because she looks so much like her.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Not a thought crime?
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Okay? Is it? Would it be weird to you if
Dave was lusting in his heart perhaps for a woman
who looks exactly like you.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I doubt there would be lusting of the heart.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Well, you never know, he's a complicated man.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Sure.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Uh that's a that's deeper level though than just a
oh gosh, looks exactly like yeah, you know, my spouse.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Absolutely beautiful and you're attracted to that?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Would yeah? So you would rather than Dave be attracted
to women who look exactly like you than women who
look nothing like you.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Huh. You know, I've never thought about this before.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Why would you? It's insane eight eight eight seven seven
seven sixty six forty or text us. This is my
question to you, okay, because I will tell you that
that I am attracted to women who look like Jessica.
I definitely have a type. Okay, Yeah, well I wear
the ginger lover shirt. I like redheads. I do curly
(21:13):
red hair. It just it goes right through and I
love it. And so one time, a few years ago,
Jessica and I were at a store down near Beckley,
and I've never forgotten this. The woman who checked us
out looked very similar to Jessica, and they were standing
there talking to each other, and Jesse it looked over
(21:33):
me and I was like trembling, and I had tears
in my eyes and I was having trouble articulated. She
was like, what's wrong with you? What's happening? Was like,
are you having a stroke? I think I am? I
think stroke? So you know that that's kind of how
I am. I mean, it was an amazing thing to
(21:54):
see just two redheaded Barbie dolls.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Just gosh.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
So back to you, okay, what would you prefer I.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Don't think I have a preference.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Obviously, you don't care who Dave's attracted to as long
as that.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
You I mean, as long as he's still attracted to me. Yeah, absolutely,
But yeah, find somebody else attractive, like that's fine, that's yeah,
the wrong answer.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I don't think there is a wrong answer. I don't
even understand the question, and I'm the one posing it.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
But I don't think I could put boundaries on that.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
This just this whole conversation between this guy and his
wife just got me to thinking about how interesting that
is if your spouse comes home and they're like, hey,
I saw this beautiful person who looked exactly like you.
Oh okay, all right, studio and text lines are open.
What do you guys think you are on the Jack
(22:48):
and Nikki Show? What would you like to say?
Speaker 6 (22:52):
I don't think it's wrong to be attracted to people
that look like your significant others. I think it's wrong
when you act your attraction. For example, today's social media.
You know, is it okay if you're man likes other
girls pictures? Is it's not okay? How do you feel
about it? I've never cared about anything like that, as
long as I know where his heart is. Yeah, and
(23:15):
it's with me, then what can I get upset about?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Yeah, when you think about it, it seems pointless to
cheat on your spouse with someone who looks exactly like them,
doesn't it It does.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
It would make absolutely no sense to say, oh, okay, right,
it's the same person as.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Me, right right. It would just be so strange, anything wrong. Yeah,
I mean, at least if they cheat with somebody doesn't
look like you, they could make the argument. I was
looking for variety. I just wanted something different. But it
was like, yeah, this person looks exactly like me, Why
would you cheat? I don't know why. The lighting was dim,
(23:59):
I thought you. I don't know how it happened.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
His brain was dim.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
And the thing is, in today's world of like you know, gender, sostrality,
et cetera, et cetera, you don't even know what's considered
cheating anymore because you have these open relationships, you have this,
you have that every couple has their boundaries. So sometimes
you don't even know what's considered cheating anymore because, oh,
we don't know what goes on in that couple's relationships.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
I just had a great idea for a relationship with
very specific boundaries. Okay, Okay, you have an open marriage,
but your spouse can only cheat on you with people
who look exactly like you. Okay, how about that?
Speaker 3 (24:38):
That is a very specific boundary, very specific. That would
make things very difficult.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Right. And if you go they cheat there they you know,
they they're with somebody else and you look at the
person to go, their hair color is slightly different from
mind get out. That's not what we agreed to, all right, ma'am,
thanks for the call, Thank you. There's a man in
Nebraska who for some reason keeps having people show up
(25:06):
at his house because they think it's a taco bell. Yeah,
and he is making national news because of his unique
way of dealing with this. It's you. According to the story,
this man, Brian Bear, is struggling in particular with food
delivery drivers mistaking his home for a taco bell. And
(25:30):
it's like door dash drivers. They're getting an incorrect address
and they're being sent to his home to pick up
food to take to their customers. Ok. And when they
show up, he answers the door at his house, his house,
his home, his residence, that's right, And he explains to
these doordashers, clearly, this is not a Taco bell, and
(25:53):
they're like, yeah, great, do you have the order or
don't you and he says, no, I don't have the order.
This is this is my residents. This is not a
place of business, right all right, maybe you've seen a
taco bell. They usually have some signs up that read
Taco bell bell, glass windows, usually a drive through customers.
This is my home. Okay. So this has been going
(26:17):
on for a while and he cannot get these door
dashers to stop showing up at his house. So what
he did, oh boy, was he he got some Taco
bell bags and he filled them with cat poop. No,
so he would go and clean his cat litter box
out and put it in a Taco bell bag. And
(26:38):
when the door dashers would show up and say hey, yeah,
I've got an order here, blad Blight say yeah, here
you go, and he'd hand them a Taco bell bag
full of cat poop. Okay, Well, that didn't go over
very well. And I guess one of these door dashers
actually called the police on this guy, and so the
sheriff's office they showed up to talk to this man
(27:01):
about what is going on. Sure, and fortunately you know,
cameras are rolling, and we do have very interesting exchange
between this guy, Brian Bear and the police officer who
showed up to talk to him about handing out bags
of his own cat crap and Taco Bell bag. Here
you go.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
So we get a call from door Dash.
Speaker 7 (27:23):
Okay, he said he.
Speaker 6 (27:24):
Came here and picked up a Taco Bell package.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
But this isn't a Taco Bell.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
So he was really confused.
Speaker 7 (27:30):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
I tried calling Taco Bell.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
I tried calling gor Dash. They're like, sorry, dude.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Okay, well he's saying that you picked up this bag.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Yeah, I gave that to him.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
You gave this turn. So what's in the bag?
Speaker 7 (27:44):
Uh cat?
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Oh yeah, okay, all.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Right, I'm trying to solve this problem creating.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
Okay, well we'll get out of your hair.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Yeah, you're talking with us, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Absolutely, that's it. Okay, got the answer, going to walk
away now.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
I love this. This poor guy. He said he contacted
Taco Bell, he contacted door Dash, and he can't get
them to stop coming to his house to pick up food. Yeah,
so handsome bags full of cat poop and what's really
funny if somebody called the police. What did they think
the police would do? They're going to his house.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Yeah, you are loitering almost, it's the very least if
not trespassing.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Yeah, and in demanding product, and he's like, look, I'm
not running a taco bell. I think this is amazing.
First of all, I love the fact that he did this.
I like the way he handled it. As he said,
I'm trying to find a creative solution, right, Yeah, you know,
maybe they'll stop me.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I doubt it.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
How long would it take, like now that you have
you know, bags of you know, cat extcrement being you know,
trying to be delivered. Now, like, how long until they
actually fix the situation with door dash and taco bell?
Speaker 2 (29:11):
You know what I think? First of all, you and
I were talking about this off the air, and our
confusion is with these door dashers who pull into this
guy's driveway and see that it's a house and still
go up to the door and ask for the food.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
I mean, I don't know if this guy's in a
neighborhood or not, but if you start driving through a
development to try to get to a taco bell, like
there's a problem here.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Right, do you not have any context clues. Yeah, okay, again,
it's clearly not a restaurant, so there's that clearly. But
what I'm wondering is if this guy's gonna make his
situation even worse because these door dashers will now take
this bag of cat poop and deliver it and people like, Wow,
this is the best taco Bell ever had, this one,
(30:00):
not two.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Don't you mean to
