Joined Jack and Nicky Live weekday mornings from six to
ten on one O two WVAQ.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Fascinating research for you. Now from the world of employment.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
You got fired?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
What?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Oh well, it's no wonder they finally caught you doing that?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
In here?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Working harder, hardly working? Am I?
Speaker 4 (00:28):
I thought you were working?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I'm working here?
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Are you gonna get me fired?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Are you kidding? I'm working? You regret offending my coworkers? Oh,
expected to work? I did.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
A lot of people work, and a lot of people
are sad about stuff, usually stuff at work. Let's take
a look and see if we can figure it out.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Yes, we need to.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
A recent study analyzing data from over a half a
million US workers found that people in community and social
services like police officers for example, social workers, so on,
had the highest rate of diagnosed depression at twenty point
five percent.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Yeah, it makes sense.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
This was followed by food prep and serving jobs at
twenty point one percent.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Yeah, also makes sense.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
It does. Yes, Now, what is the thing that these
types of jobs have in common?
Speaker 4 (01:21):
They're all seeing the worst of the worst.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
You got it. Yeah, being a police officer working the
fast food drive through, people are going to treat you
like garbage. Yeah, they're disrespectful, Huh, they're arrogant, they're demanding.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Yep, all of these things.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
All of these things. So if you are a police officer,
you are almost, you know, by definition, dealing with people
at their worst, because when the call comes in, you've
got to go deal with some knucklehead. Right, nobody calls
to say, hey, come and help the celebrate a kid's
birthday party. They should, right, Hey, come on over, we're
having a nice lunch. It's always somebody's done something stupid
(01:58):
and we need your help.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Come over and celebrate this kid's birthday party because a
dad took a bat and just started hitting everybody with it.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yeah, Penia Pinata, Smiata, Yeah, dad's weeen at everything almost
at Penia Colada.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Maybe those were involved too.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Moving on, So, if you are working fast food, and
I always say that is such a tough looking job.
I've never done it, and man, it just looks so hard,
it looks demanding, and it looks like it's not very rewarding.
And the people who go into these restaurants are just
the biggest jerks in the world. Yeah, you guys have
my sympathies. Moving on, so other industries with high levels
(02:38):
of depression. This is where it's going to get really
interesting breaking it down.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
You're ready for this, I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
The arts okay, entertainment, sports, media okay, food services, health,
social assistance, retail, Yeah that legal education and library jobs.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Library why library?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
You know that one's kind of surprising. You wouldn't think
you'd be too bummed out if you're a librarian unless
you can't get people to stop being loud.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
They're not paying attention to the sh.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, that seems to be the biggest battle librarian's face
whisper tak.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah, people just will not be quiet in a library
and it caused a lot of depressions.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Were you ever quiet in a library? I was, Yeah,
you followed the rules?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Sure, okay, good?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
You talk a lot, and I know as a youth
you got in trouble for talking.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Well, I was a troubled team and I did get
in trouble for talking too much. Again. My nickname was
Eminem is what they called me in That meant motormouth.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Yes, yes, that's why I had to ask.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
That's exactly right, that, of course, Captain Hairdoo. So breaking
this down though, people in entertainment, in the media and arts,
I think there's a lot of depression there because of
the duality required to do those jobs. And by duality
I mean big phonies. So it does it matter what
kind of a mood you're in when it's go time.
(04:04):
It's go time. Yes, that's difficult, right if you are
a thespian, when the curtain goes up, you got to
get out there. It doesn't matter what's going on in
your life. And I think of that sometimes if I'm
watching a play and somebody's out there performing, and I'm thinking,
you know, five minutes before this show, who knows what
was going on in their life, fighting with the spouse,
trouble with the kids, credit card debt, car got towed,
(04:26):
and they're out there doing a show. Right, that'll turn
you inside out, right, just like coming in here, you
and I working very hard pretending to have a good
time every day on the radio. Who knows what's going
on and are miserable stinking lives? Now, then let's talk
about people who are happy. Okay, coal miners, yeah, Construction,
(04:47):
agriculture and engineering jobs. These are the least depressed people.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Really, that would make me depressed.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah, Well, it depends on who you are and what
you do. There's something very rewarding about physical work, working
with your hands, accomplishing things like that. There's something that's
very cathartic about that. Sure, if you're a mechanic, you
fix something. If you're you're in construction, you build something.
I know Jessica's dad was a contractor as a carpenter,
(05:16):
and he would talk to me about what it felt
like at the end of a project to look and
see something standing there that didn't exist when they started.
And the only thing that I have to show at
the end of my workday is a bunch of angry people.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Well they didn't exist when we started, so.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
They were just in a better mood, all right, at.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Least something you should feel good about it.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Studio and text lines are open triple A, triple seven
sixty six forty. You could call this, you could text us.
You can also text us at three five sixty five
to one. You know, the two most important decisions you
make in your life are who you marry, and what
you do. These are the two biggest factors in how
happy you're going to be. What I want to know
is what do you do and how does it affect you? Yeah,
(06:00):
that's really what I want to know. I'm genuinely curious
about this. So just tell me what do you do
for a living and how does it affect you? Good? Bad? Otherwise?
What kind of impact does that have on your life?
This is something maybe we can all learn from and
grow and come together as people. Right, yes, yeah, what
do you do?
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
And how does it affect you? Talking about what you
do and how it affects you, because we have some
research here about jobs with the highest rates of depression
and then the jobs where people are actually happy, and
so that's what we want to know about you.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
What is it that you do and what effect does
it have on your life? Surprisingly to some working in
a coal mine, work in construction, agriculture, farming, these are
jobs where people are happier, lower rates of depression, which
I understand that. I get it. I know people who
farm and they love it. They wouldn't do anything else.
(07:00):
It does take very.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Satisfying Yeah, that does take a passion.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
It does. Yeah, and construction. I mean you accomplish things,
you work with your hands, you get things done. Coal mining,
I mean you know you're you're keeping the lights on,
you're providing energy for people. This is all admirable work.
And I could see how you would be satisfied by
that and you would feel good about it. And we're
seeing a lot of texts coming in here, and I've
(07:22):
got some people on the phones, and Nikki Drake, what's
on the text line.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
I make roof bolt plates for the mines. I keep
the miner safe and the lights on.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
See there you go?
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
So is he saying that is the texture fulfilled because
you know they're doing something and keeping people safe, or
are is the texter saying that the miners are happy
because of the roof bolt plates.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I would say it's probably a little from column A
colum B. I would And again, I don't know a
lot about mining, but I have to assume if you're
a miner and you go in and you see those
those roof bolt plates are there and the lights are on,
You're like, Okay, this makes me feel better about being
in here. Okay, Yeah, And whoever texted this in again,
you're helping people. It's an important job.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
It matters keeping them safe and contributing to their happiness.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
There you go, there you go.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Okay, this one's funny.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Most construction workers are too dumb to be sad. I
say that being married to a contractor.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Remember when I said the two most important decisions in
your life are what you do and who you married.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Right, Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Think I would probably take issue with that. I don't
think people in construction are really that dumb.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
I don't think so either.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
I think that takes some striff.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
It's still over my head, right, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
But there's engineering, you have to line things up. There's
a lot of masks. Yeah. I don't think you can
be stupid and due construction. I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Yeah. Yeah, there's a scrum master slash project manager working remotely.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
It's high pressure and high stress.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
When I'm working, but overall feel pretty good because I
have some schedule flexibility that helps the work life balance
a necessity with kids.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. Okay, I've got phones lighting up here, Nikki,
I'm gonna grab the calls unless you have another text
you need to get to you good? Yeah, all right,
you were on the jack and NICKI show what you got.
Speaker 7 (09:17):
Hey. So I've worked in several of the industries you've listed.
When I was in college, I was in the food industry, Yes,
and it is absolutely the worst, especially on Sundays after
church people come in.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
They treat you so poorly.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Really.
Speaker 7 (09:35):
Yeah, And then shortly after that, I decided I wanted
to find some way to help people. So I started
out as a security guard and wanted to be a
police officer, and that was I had mixed emotions about
that one. So it was bad you get hit and
spit on because that. I worked at a hospital, so
(09:56):
there were times I was exposed to things and had
to have shots and monitored. So I got out of
that and decided to go into human resources.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
And now that has been my career for the last
eleven years and I absolutely love it. I still get
to help people. I feel respected. It gives me satisfaction
to the things I'm doing. So I would highly recommend
human resources for people that are.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Considering a cur That's very nice. It's very nice to
have the kind of job that actually makes you feel
better about life in general, and you go home and
you feel happy and content.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Yeah, that's wonderful.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
Yeah. When I was in.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
The security industry, there was a lot of anxiety, depression
things like that.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
I will say the camaraderie among the officers was amazing
and I'm still friends with most of them. I go
on a golf trip every year with a couple of
these guys.
Speaker 7 (10:55):
So I missed that portion.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Of it, but not the physical of it. Well.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Sure, and you know, those high pressure situations also bond
you with the people around you. It's like going to
war together, you know.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, and a lot of those guys, do
you have a military background?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Yeah. Well it's really interesting because I hadn't thought about that.
But you were saying, like being a cop, you every
day you get hit, you get spit on, you get
cussed at. That's exactly like hosting a radio show. Yeah, ok, yeah,
at least that's been my experience over the years. Hey man,
appreciate it. The call. Good to hear from you.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
The area's number one rated morning show. Let's go. Let's
go Jack and Nikki one two w v AQ.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
We are going to the health desk right now. But
this is also technology related. Is almost every single thing
is in life now, it's not.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Healthy but it didn't sound healthy at all.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I'm not healthy, but it's not healthy. It wouldn't be healthy.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
What's the worst that could happen.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Well, the worst that could happen is you could die
in competence. A study from the University of Maine compared
AI generated responses to medical questions against human doctors in
the United States and Australia. AI consistently scored higher in
accuracy and professionalism.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Yeah, when you're trying to figure out what is wrong
with you, you tell AI and it gives you a
more accurate diagnosis and it's more professional than the humans. Yeah,
and they say that this is in alignment with expert
medical standards.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
My sister has done this. She's gone through AI. She
had because she was misagnosed for so many years. She
went ahead, put everything into AI and printed it out,
took it to a specialist and they were like, yep,
here we go.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Your AI is correct.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
She took that to a human and they went and finally,
good lord, I've been trying to figure this out for decades.
Thank god for them. Pewters. Yeah, yeah, okay. Well here's
the thing though, here's the thing. While AI is consistently
accurate and professional. The downside is AI fell short in
(13:16):
emotional connection and empathy with the patience.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Sure that makes sense, too, right, because it is AI,
so you don't expect it to be high in empathy.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Yeah, there's too many memes, so exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Turn your head and call memes worp. That poll up
is huge. Memesworp. You're going to die, yet no one
wants to hear that. No one wants to hurt. Although
I would suggest when the day comes, when they tell
me I'm dying, if you toss in a couple of
memes worps, that will help. Noted, that will ease the pain.
Thank you so much, because I assume, Nikki, you will
(13:51):
be at my deathbed, probably the one who put me
in it. While AI maintained a neutral tone and used
clinical terms like meabsorb, human response has showed more empathy
and person centered language. The study highlight of the importance
of integrating AI tools in healthcare while preserving the human
(14:14):
touch in patient interactions. So basically, the finding suggests AI
can enhance efficiency, but cannot botch your surgery and then
tell you you're dying in the same way that a
human can we need some help from you guys. Studio
and text lines are open triple eight, triple seven, sixty
(14:34):
six forty call us textus at that number. You can
text us at three five sixty five to one as well,
if you would like. Nikki's friend apparently has a stalker.
She's got a real situation on her hands. And we
want to tell you about this, and let's just see
where you would go with it, because it's this is
a tough spot to be in. It's it's tough, yeah
for sure.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Yeah. Okay.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
So my friend Jess, she lives in Florida, and she
recently made a new friend named Allie.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
It's hard to make friends as an adult.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Okay, so make friends in Florida too.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
I was very proud of her from making a new friend.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
This is my buddy Steve. Hey, that's an alligator.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
So they've been hanging out becoming closer. And Alie lives
an hour away from Jess.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Okay, and this is important.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Just went on vacation for a few days with her
family and needed a dog sitter. So she's like, hey, Ali,
can you like come stay with the dog while we're gone.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
We'll be back, you know.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
In so many days cool worked out. Ever since then,
things have gotten a little strange, all right, So, like
Allie's become clingy. I don't know how else to describe it.
So she started like overstaying her welcome. So when she
comes over to visit, and my friend Jess has a
couple of kids as well, so when it's bedtime, it's bedtime,
(15:49):
you know, like there's a schedule to maintain, but Allie's
just kind of overstaying that welcome.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
And even though the.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Kids are bathing and getting ready for bed, Allie's still
hanging out and that's awkward, right, yeah, yeah, And she's
also calling and texting at like all hours, and Jess
has started only picking up certain times because it's becoming
incessant and all of this stuff. And now Ali is
keeping track of Jess's travel plans, and these are the
(16:19):
ones shared before the creepy behavior started. So if Jess
was like, Hey, I'm going to Universal on this day,
I'm going to drive up to Orlando, I'm going to go,
you know, do some things up there, those are apparently
in Allie's calendar, and she's always trying to tag along,
to the point where Jess now has to Lie being like, oh, yeah,
I'm not going anymore.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
So it's all become very strange. And then more strange happened.
Allie has started just randomly showing up in the neighborhood. Again,
Allie lives an hour away.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
This is key, Yes, this is key. Yeah, this woman
lives an hour away and is just randomly showing up
in her neighborhood. So she bumps into her. She gets
for a walk or something and hey, what are you
doing here?
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Pretty, It's like it's just kind of strange. And they've
got like camera set up and everything.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
So she doing drive bys.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
They've caught her once driving past and they because they
weren't home, and they were just like, this is this
is weird behavior.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Does your friend have any bushes? This woman can lurk
in just that curiosity. No, okay, we're hanging out with
Steve the Alligator, right, all right, Well, clearly this is
a problem. But the question is how do you disentangle
from this situation. So she meets this woman and they
(17:42):
she thinks she's kind of striking up a new friendship.
But then this new friend turns out to be kind
of odd and clingy, and now she wants to kind
of back away, like Homer Simpson backing up through a hedge, right,
just wants to get out of it. Yeah, but if
somebody's crazy enough to start showing up in your neighborhood,
following you around, calling and texting at all hours, you
(18:06):
have to be really careful about how you deal with
that person because they're obviously a little bit off their rocker,
and you don't want to anger them because now it's
really going to go south on you. So you have
to figure out how to extricate yourself without That is
a very tough spot.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
It is a very unfortunate situation.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
This is why we have the open studio text lines
looking for any advice you may have. Maybe you've been
in the situation on either side of it. Maybe you're
the unreasonable stalker and you can call a text in
and go I'm nuts and here's what they did to
knock me back a few feet. And I did not
go insay in and attack their entire family. I mean,
maybe that's the angle. I'll just tell you I've had
(18:49):
a couple of situations like this and I handled both
of them poorly.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
So I'm coming up next.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
What not to do?
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yeah, the dos and do not do is with clingers.
What do you guys think here? Right now, we're wrapping
up Nicki's friend has a stalker, and we do have
some texts coming in from you guys. Studio text lines
open triple eight, triple seven, sixty six forty call us
textas You can also text us at three five sixty
(19:19):
five to one in a nutshell. Nicki's friend lives in
Florida befriended a woman. How long ago is this? When
did they start hanging out?
Speaker 5 (19:28):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Few, it's been I don't know, just several months.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
A few months. Yeah, she's been friends with this woman
for a few months. And now this woman has become
kind of clingy. And it's getting kind of weird because
this woman lives an hour away and is now just
kind of showing up in the neighborhood randomly.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
She doesn't work anywhere near the Yeah, driving by the house,
trying to attach herself and calling and texting at all hours.
Just yeah, she's just inserting herself in justice life for
no reason, just to be an issue.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
It's an issue, and so you look at and go, Okay, well,
how do you kind of disentangle and back away from
this without angering this person and causing even more problems.
We do have some text suggestions here that increase in magnitude.
Let's say a text or says call the police.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Okay, yeah, but you've got to have something.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
What are you going to tell the police? What are
you gonna tell them? Hey, this woman showed up in
my neighborhood and.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
She's allowed to drive through the marbor like, yeah, she
hasn't done anything.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
That's the problem.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
That's been documented, that's worthy of, you know, action.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Yeah, and the police are reactionary. Yeah, you know, you
can't call and say, hey, I think somebody's going to
kick in my front door and attack me. You have
to call after that happens. Text, get a restraining order.
And now again, I we're trying to not exacerbate things.
I think if you have this, have somebody handle a
(20:59):
restraining order to this woman, she's probably going to go
completely insane. But also, don't you need kind of like
calling the police. She needs some evidence to get somebody
to issue a restraining order?
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Correct, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Okay, And I don't know what that evidence threshold is,
but I don't know if she's meeting it. What are
you seeing over there? In the text line, I see
your eyes lighting up.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
There's a couple stories that just popped in and I'm
trying to read through them quickly. All let's see this
text says she could just ask for more space, or
even lie to make it softer, like, Hey, I've been
really stressed at work or whatever.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
I need a bit of space right now. I don't
know if.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
That would go over well if this person's are if
Alli's already at the point of tracking where Jess is
and driving through the neighborhood, I don't even think a
soft lie would help the situation.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Yeah. I think the problem is you're dealing with an
unreasonable person. Yeah, and it's hard to reason with the unreasonable.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
Yeah, yeah, it is.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
It is a difficult spot.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
Definitely document everything, even if it's just on a note page,
updates and times she comes by unannounced or is in
the neighborhood unplanned. That way, if your friend needs it,
she can show show the police. So start documenting now.
That way, you have even more later after she.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Attacked document now for court later. How about this text?
How about a midnight boat ride through alligator infested waters
that's escalating that is escalating for sure, and the ultimate solution.
Some would say, Okay, well, it is Florida, after all.
I mean, I know a lot of people solve their
(22:37):
problems down there by feeding other people to alligators. I mean,
that's it's kind of their way, right, Isn't that on
their sign? A man being devoured by an alligator while
another guy watches and smokes a cigar is what's on
their state side side?
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Welcome to Florida.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Welcome to Florida. Mind your own business. So long, sucker, Okay,
any more texts?
Speaker 5 (22:57):
Somebody here is answering your question. You need a threat
or intimidation. The closest she's going to get to a
stocking for training order.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Yeah yeah, okay, yeah again, it's tough, all right. I'll
just tell you this so just quickly. When I was
in high school, we had this dopey neighbor who would
not stop coming to the house. And he was kind
of he was older, he was my brother's age, and
every day I would get up and he would just
be sitting on the couch and it drove me insane
because I would wake up and I'd hear him out there,
(23:26):
and I'd go again. Every single day when I wake up,
this guy's in the house. And one day I just
opened the door as I was on my way to
the bathroom, you know, with a robe on, my hair
and rollers, and I said, why would you go home?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Please just go home?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
And that was confusing to him, as you can imagine.
And then the other the other time, when I was
in my twenties, I had a friend who kept showing
up to the house and he just would not beat it,
and he was weird and he cursed a lot, and
one day showed up with a crotch of his pants
ripped out. And what I did was I just stopped
talking him all together. I just ghosted the guy and
(24:03):
I haven't talked to him ever since. And I never
offered him an explanation, because I honestly didn't know how
to say, Look, you're annoying, I'm tired of the profanity,
and you can't show up here with the crotch torn
out of your pants in front of my wife. You
can't walk around in my house like that. How do
you even have that conversation with somebody?
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Right?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
So instead I just stopped talking to him altogether, and
we've never spoken since, and I hope to god he's
not listening to this. I hope not if I know
nothing else about the humans, and I don't. It's this
people like a dog's a lot of dog owners, Yes,
(24:43):
And if you own a dog, perhaps you've seen your
dog watching television and you thought, well, just passively watching TV.
Think again. New research from Auburn University reveals that dogs
don't just passively watch TV or see it as backg round.
They have specific preferences when watching television. Oh really, this
(25:05):
is surprising yet oh there eighty eight point three percent
of dogs actively watch tvka okay, and dogs like content
featuring other animals, in particular dogs.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
That makes sense.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
So the ugly truth has been revealed. Dogs are narcissists
who only think about themselves when watching TV. They're looking
for other dogs. If it doesn't feature a dog, they're
not interested. Terrible hyper dogs tend to follow movement on televisions,
while anxious dogs react more to human voices and doorbells.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
Right right, because we have the ring doorbell on the
commercial in a nuts Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
They found that annoying. Little yippie dogs like shows featuring
a small man with a Napoleon complex because they feel
they can relate to the character. Right, this very specific
sy all gets more specific breed breed factored into it
as well. Really yeah, yeah, they watch TV based on breed.
For example, smarter dogs like Border colleagues and German shepherds.
(26:11):
They prefer documentaries and murder mysteries.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Oh interesting.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Basset hounds and bulldogs prefer reality shows like The Bachelor
and Love Island. Yeah. Game shows like Wheel of Fortune
are also popular in the hound community. Okay, now it
should be noted a word of caution, please when choosing
a program for your German shepherd, stay away from documentaries
(26:35):
about World War II. Okay. They get really defensive over that,
and they will often seek revenge on their owners by
dragging their butts on the carpet. Yeah. So, if you've
been showing your German shepherd World War two documentaries and
then you find some stains, now you know they're sending
you a message. Yeah yeah, now you know. And I
hope that this has been useful information, very educational. Well
(26:57):
that's what we do, Nicky. We tried comedy for a while.
That didn't work. Work. So here we are Jack.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
And the Morn and.

If you're listening to the Jack and Nikki Show podcast

Joined Jack and Nicky Live weekday mornings from six to
ten on one O two WVAQ.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Fascinating research for you. Now from the world of employment.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
You got fired?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
What?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Oh well, it's no wonder they finally caught you doing that?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
In here?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Working harder, hardly working? Am I?
Speaker 4 (00:28):
I thought you were working?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I'm working here?
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Are you gonna get me fired?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Are you kidding? I'm working? You regret offending my coworkers? Oh,
expected to work? I did.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
A lot of people work, and a lot of people
are sad about stuff, usually stuff at work. Let's take
a look and see if we can figure it out.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Yes, we need to.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
A recent study analyzing data from over a half a
million US workers found that people in community and social
services like police officers for example, social workers, so on,
had the highest rate of diagnosed depression at twenty point
five percent.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Yeah, it makes sense.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
This was followed by food prep and serving jobs at
twenty point one percent.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Yeah, also makes sense.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
It does. Yes, Now, what is the thing that these
types of jobs have in common?
Speaker 4 (01:21):
They're all seeing the worst of the worst.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
You got it. Yeah, being a police officer working the
fast food drive through, people are going to treat you
like garbage. Yeah, they're disrespectful, Huh, they're arrogant, they're demanding.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Yep, all of these things.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
All of these things. So if you are a police officer,
you are almost, you know, by definition, dealing with people
at their worst, because when the call comes in, you've
got to go deal with some knucklehead. Right, nobody calls
to say, hey, come and help the celebrate a kid's
birthday party. They should, right, Hey, come on over, we're
having a nice lunch. It's always somebody's done something stupid
(01:58):
and we need your help.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Come over and celebrate this kid's birthday party because a
dad took a bat and just started hitting everybody with it.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yeah, Penia Pinata, Smiata, Yeah, dad's weeen at everything almost
at Penia Colada.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Maybe those were involved too.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Moving on, So, if you are working fast food, and
I always say that is such a tough looking job.
I've never done it, and man, it just looks so hard,
it looks demanding, and it looks like it's not very rewarding.
And the people who go into these restaurants are just
the biggest jerks in the world. Yeah, you guys have
my sympathies. Moving on, so other industries with high levels
(02:38):
of depression. This is where it's going to get really
interesting breaking it down.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
You're ready for this, I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
The arts okay, entertainment, sports, media okay, food services, health,
social assistance, retail, Yeah that legal education and library jobs.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Library why library?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
You know that one's kind of surprising. You wouldn't think
you'd be too bummed out if you're a librarian unless
you can't get people to stop being loud.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
They're not paying attention to the sh.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, that seems to be the biggest battle librarian's face
whisper tak.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah, people just will not be quiet in a library
and it caused a lot of depressions.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Were you ever quiet in a library? I was, Yeah,
you followed the rules?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Sure, okay, good?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
You talk a lot, and I know as a youth
you got in trouble for talking.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Well, I was a troubled team and I did get
in trouble for talking too much. Again. My nickname was
Eminem is what they called me in That meant motormouth.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Yes, yes, that's why I had to ask.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
That's exactly right, that, of course, Captain Hairdoo. So breaking
this down though, people in entertainment, in the media and arts,
I think there's a lot of depression there because of
the duality required to do those jobs. And by duality
I mean big phonies. So it does it matter what
kind of a mood you're in when it's go time.
(04:04):
It's go time. Yes, that's difficult, right if you are
a thespian, when the curtain goes up, you got to
get out there. It doesn't matter what's going on in
your life. And I think of that sometimes if I'm
watching a play and somebody's out there performing, and I'm thinking,
you know, five minutes before this show, who knows what
was going on in their life, fighting with the spouse,
trouble with the kids, credit card debt, car got towed,
(04:26):
and they're out there doing a show. Right, that'll turn
you inside out, right, just like coming in here, you
and I working very hard pretending to have a good
time every day on the radio. Who knows what's going
on and are miserable stinking lives? Now, then let's talk
about people who are happy. Okay, coal miners, yeah, Construction,
(04:47):
agriculture and engineering jobs. These are the least depressed people.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Really, that would make me depressed.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah, Well, it depends on who you are and what
you do. There's something very rewarding about physical work, working
with your hands, accomplishing things like that. There's something that's
very cathartic about that. Sure, if you're a mechanic, you
fix something. If you're you're in construction, you build something.
I know Jessica's dad was a contractor as a carpenter,
(05:16):
and he would talk to me about what it felt
like at the end of a project to look and
see something standing there that didn't exist when they started.
And the only thing that I have to show at
the end of my workday is a bunch of angry people.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Well they didn't exist when we started, so.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
They were just in a better mood, all right, at.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Least something you should feel good about it.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Studio and text lines are open triple A, triple seven
sixty six forty. You could call this, you could text us.
You can also text us at three five sixty five
to one. You know, the two most important decisions you
make in your life are who you marry, and what
you do. These are the two biggest factors in how
happy you're going to be. What I want to know
is what do you do and how does it affect you? Yeah,
(06:00):
that's really what I want to know. I'm genuinely curious
about this. So just tell me what do you do
for a living and how does it affect you? Good? Bad? Otherwise?
What kind of impact does that have on your life?
This is something maybe we can all learn from and
grow and come together as people. Right, yes, yeah, what
do you do?
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
And how does it affect you? Talking about what you
do and how it affects you, because we have some
research here about jobs with the highest rates of depression
and then the jobs where people are actually happy, and
so that's what we want to know about you.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
What is it that you do and what effect does
it have on your life? Surprisingly to some working in
a coal mine, work in construction, agriculture, farming, these are
jobs where people are happier, lower rates of depression, which
I understand that. I get it. I know people who
farm and they love it. They wouldn't do anything else.
(07:00):
It does take very.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Satisfying Yeah, that does take a passion.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
It does. Yeah, and construction. I mean you accomplish things,
you work with your hands, you get things done. Coal mining,
I mean you know you're you're keeping the lights on,
you're providing energy for people. This is all admirable work.
And I could see how you would be satisfied by
that and you would feel good about it. And we're
seeing a lot of texts coming in here, and I've
(07:22):
got some people on the phones, and Nikki Drake, what's
on the text line.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
I make roof bolt plates for the mines. I keep
the miner safe and the lights on.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
See there you go?
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
So is he saying that is the texture fulfilled because
you know they're doing something and keeping people safe, or
are is the texter saying that the miners are happy
because of the roof bolt plates.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I would say it's probably a little from column A
colum B. I would And again, I don't know a
lot about mining, but I have to assume if you're
a miner and you go in and you see those
those roof bolt plates are there and the lights are on,
You're like, Okay, this makes me feel better about being
in here. Okay, Yeah, And whoever texted this in again,
you're helping people. It's an important job.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
It matters keeping them safe and contributing to their happiness.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
There you go, there you go.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Okay, this one's funny.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Most construction workers are too dumb to be sad. I
say that being married to a contractor.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Remember when I said the two most important decisions in
your life are what you do and who you married.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Right, Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Think I would probably take issue with that. I don't
think people in construction are really that dumb.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
I don't think so either.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
I think that takes some striff.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
It's still over my head, right, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
But there's engineering, you have to line things up. There's
a lot of masks. Yeah. I don't think you can
be stupid and due construction. I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Yeah. Yeah, there's a scrum master slash project manager working remotely.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
It's high pressure and high stress.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
When I'm working, but overall feel pretty good because I
have some schedule flexibility that helps the work life balance
a necessity with kids.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. Okay, I've got phones lighting up here, Nikki,
I'm gonna grab the calls unless you have another text
you need to get to you good? Yeah, all right,
you were on the jack and NICKI show what you got.
Speaker 7 (09:17):
Hey. So I've worked in several of the industries you've listed.
When I was in college, I was in the food industry, Yes,
and it is absolutely the worst, especially on Sundays after
church people come in.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
They treat you so poorly.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Really.
Speaker 7 (09:35):
Yeah, And then shortly after that, I decided I wanted
to find some way to help people. So I started
out as a security guard and wanted to be a
police officer, and that was I had mixed emotions about
that one. So it was bad you get hit and
spit on because that. I worked at a hospital, so
(09:56):
there were times I was exposed to things and had
to have shots and monitored. So I got out of
that and decided to go into human resources.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
And now that has been my career for the last
eleven years and I absolutely love it. I still get
to help people. I feel respected. It gives me satisfaction
to the things I'm doing. So I would highly recommend
human resources for people that are.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Considering a cur That's very nice. It's very nice to
have the kind of job that actually makes you feel
better about life in general, and you go home and
you feel happy and content.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Yeah, that's wonderful.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
Yeah. When I was in.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
The security industry, there was a lot of anxiety, depression
things like that.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
I will say the camaraderie among the officers was amazing
and I'm still friends with most of them. I go
on a golf trip every year with a couple of
these guys.
Speaker 7 (10:55):
So I missed that portion.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Of it, but not the physical of it. Well.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Sure, and you know, those high pressure situations also bond
you with the people around you. It's like going to
war together, you know.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, and a lot of those guys, do
you have a military background?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Yeah. Well it's really interesting because I hadn't thought about that.
But you were saying, like being a cop, you every
day you get hit, you get spit on, you get
cussed at. That's exactly like hosting a radio show. Yeah, ok, yeah,
at least that's been my experience over the years. Hey man,
appreciate it. The call. Good to hear from you.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
The area's number one rated morning show. Let's go. Let's
go Jack and Nikki one two w v AQ.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
We are going to the health desk right now. But
this is also technology related. Is almost every single thing
is in life now, it's not.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Healthy but it didn't sound healthy at all.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I'm not healthy, but it's not healthy. It wouldn't be healthy.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
What's the worst that could happen.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Well, the worst that could happen is you could die
in competence. A study from the University of Maine compared
AI generated responses to medical questions against human doctors in
the United States and Australia. AI consistently scored higher in
accuracy and professionalism.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Yeah, when you're trying to figure out what is wrong
with you, you tell AI and it gives you a
more accurate diagnosis and it's more professional than the humans. Yeah,
and they say that this is in alignment with expert
medical standards.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
My sister has done this. She's gone through AI. She
had because she was misagnosed for so many years. She
went ahead, put everything into AI and printed it out,
took it to a specialist and they were like, yep,
here we go.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Your AI is correct.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
She took that to a human and they went and finally,
good lord, I've been trying to figure this out for decades.
Thank god for them. Pewters. Yeah, yeah, okay. Well here's
the thing though, here's the thing. While AI is consistently
accurate and professional. The downside is AI fell short in
(13:16):
emotional connection and empathy with the patience.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Sure that makes sense, too, right, because it is AI,
so you don't expect it to be high in empathy.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Yeah, there's too many memes, so exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Turn your head and call memes worp. That poll up
is huge. Memesworp. You're going to die, yet no one
wants to hear that. No one wants to hurt. Although
I would suggest when the day comes, when they tell
me I'm dying, if you toss in a couple of
memes worps, that will help. Noted, that will ease the pain.
Thank you so much, because I assume, Nikki, you will
(13:51):
be at my deathbed, probably the one who put me
in it. While AI maintained a neutral tone and used
clinical terms like meabsorb, human response has showed more empathy
and person centered language. The study highlight of the importance
of integrating AI tools in healthcare while preserving the human
(14:14):
touch in patient interactions. So basically, the finding suggests AI
can enhance efficiency, but cannot botch your surgery and then
tell you you're dying in the same way that a
human can we need some help from you guys. Studio
and text lines are open triple eight, triple seven, sixty
(14:34):
six forty call us textus at that number. You can
text us at three five sixty five to one as well,
if you would like. Nikki's friend apparently has a stalker.
She's got a real situation on her hands. And we
want to tell you about this, and let's just see
where you would go with it, because it's this is
a tough spot to be in. It's it's tough, yeah
for sure.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Yeah. Okay.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
So my friend Jess, she lives in Florida, and she
recently made a new friend named Allie.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
It's hard to make friends as an adult.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Okay, so make friends in Florida too.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
I was very proud of her from making a new friend.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
This is my buddy Steve. Hey, that's an alligator.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
So they've been hanging out becoming closer. And Alie lives
an hour away from Jess.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Okay, and this is important.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Just went on vacation for a few days with her
family and needed a dog sitter. So she's like, hey, Ali,
can you like come stay with the dog while we're gone.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
We'll be back, you know.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
In so many days cool worked out. Ever since then,
things have gotten a little strange, all right, So, like
Allie's become clingy. I don't know how else to describe it.
So she started like overstaying her welcome. So when she
comes over to visit, and my friend Jess has a
couple of kids as well, so when it's bedtime, it's bedtime,
(15:49):
you know, like there's a schedule to maintain, but Allie's
just kind of overstaying that welcome.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
And even though the.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Kids are bathing and getting ready for bed, Allie's still
hanging out and that's awkward, right, yeah, yeah, And she's
also calling and texting at like all hours, and Jess
has started only picking up certain times because it's becoming
incessant and all of this stuff. And now Ali is
keeping track of Jess's travel plans, and these are the
(16:19):
ones shared before the creepy behavior started. So if Jess
was like, Hey, I'm going to Universal on this day,
I'm going to drive up to Orlando, I'm going to go,
you know, do some things up there, those are apparently
in Allie's calendar, and she's always trying to tag along,
to the point where Jess now has to Lie being like, oh, yeah,
I'm not going anymore.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
So it's all become very strange. And then more strange happened.
Allie has started just randomly showing up in the neighborhood. Again,
Allie lives an hour away.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
This is key, Yes, this is key. Yeah, this woman
lives an hour away and is just randomly showing up
in her neighborhood. So she bumps into her. She gets
for a walk or something and hey, what are you
doing here?
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Pretty, It's like it's just kind of strange. And they've
got like camera set up and everything.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
So she doing drive bys.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
They've caught her once driving past and they because they
weren't home, and they were just like, this is this
is weird behavior.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Does your friend have any bushes? This woman can lurk
in just that curiosity. No, okay, we're hanging out with
Steve the Alligator, right, all right, Well, clearly this is
a problem. But the question is how do you disentangle
from this situation. So she meets this woman and they
(17:42):
she thinks she's kind of striking up a new friendship.
But then this new friend turns out to be kind
of odd and clingy, and now she wants to kind
of back away, like Homer Simpson backing up through a hedge, right,
just wants to get out of it. Yeah, but if
somebody's crazy enough to start showing up in your neighborhood,
following you around, calling and texting at all hours, you
(18:06):
have to be really careful about how you deal with
that person because they're obviously a little bit off their rocker,
and you don't want to anger them because now it's
really going to go south on you. So you have
to figure out how to extricate yourself without That is
a very tough spot.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
It is a very unfortunate situation.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
This is why we have the open studio text lines
looking for any advice you may have. Maybe you've been
in the situation on either side of it. Maybe you're
the unreasonable stalker and you can call a text in
and go I'm nuts and here's what they did to
knock me back a few feet. And I did not
go insay in and attack their entire family. I mean,
maybe that's the angle. I'll just tell you I've had
(18:49):
a couple of situations like this and I handled both
of them poorly.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
So I'm coming up next.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
What not to do?
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yeah, the dos and do not do is with clingers.
What do you guys think here? Right now, we're wrapping
up Nicki's friend has a stalker, and we do have
some texts coming in from you guys. Studio text lines
open triple eight, triple seven, sixty six forty call us
textas You can also text us at three five sixty
(19:19):
five to one in a nutshell. Nicki's friend lives in
Florida befriended a woman. How long ago is this? When
did they start hanging out?
Speaker 5 (19:28):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Few, it's been I don't know, just several months.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
A few months. Yeah, she's been friends with this woman
for a few months. And now this woman has become
kind of clingy. And it's getting kind of weird because
this woman lives an hour away and is now just
kind of showing up in the neighborhood randomly.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
She doesn't work anywhere near the Yeah, driving by the house,
trying to attach herself and calling and texting at all hours.
Just yeah, she's just inserting herself in justice life for
no reason, just to be an issue.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
It's an issue, and so you look at and go, Okay, well,
how do you kind of disentangle and back away from
this without angering this person and causing even more problems.
We do have some text suggestions here that increase in magnitude.
Let's say a text or says call the police.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Okay, yeah, but you've got to have something.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
What are you going to tell the police? What are
you gonna tell them? Hey, this woman showed up in
my neighborhood and.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
She's allowed to drive through the marbor like, yeah, she
hasn't done anything.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
That's the problem.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
That's been documented, that's worthy of, you know, action.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Yeah, and the police are reactionary. Yeah, you know, you
can't call and say, hey, I think somebody's going to
kick in my front door and attack me. You have
to call after that happens. Text, get a restraining order.
And now again, I we're trying to not exacerbate things.
I think if you have this, have somebody handle a
(20:59):
restraining order to this woman, she's probably going to go
completely insane. But also, don't you need kind of like
calling the police. She needs some evidence to get somebody
to issue a restraining order?
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Correct, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Okay, And I don't know what that evidence threshold is,
but I don't know if she's meeting it. What are
you seeing over there? In the text line, I see
your eyes lighting up.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
There's a couple stories that just popped in and I'm
trying to read through them quickly. All let's see this
text says she could just ask for more space, or
even lie to make it softer, like, Hey, I've been
really stressed at work or whatever.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
I need a bit of space right now. I don't
know if.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
That would go over well if this person's are if
Alli's already at the point of tracking where Jess is
and driving through the neighborhood, I don't even think a
soft lie would help the situation.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Yeah. I think the problem is you're dealing with an
unreasonable person. Yeah, and it's hard to reason with the unreasonable.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
Yeah, yeah, it is.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
It is a difficult spot.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
Definitely document everything, even if it's just on a note page,
updates and times she comes by unannounced or is in
the neighborhood unplanned. That way, if your friend needs it,
she can show show the police. So start documenting now.
That way, you have even more later after she.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Attacked document now for court later. How about this text?
How about a midnight boat ride through alligator infested waters
that's escalating that is escalating for sure, and the ultimate solution.
Some would say, Okay, well, it is Florida, after all.
I mean, I know a lot of people solve their
(22:37):
problems down there by feeding other people to alligators. I mean,
that's it's kind of their way, right, Isn't that on
their sign? A man being devoured by an alligator while
another guy watches and smokes a cigar is what's on
their state side side?
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Welcome to Florida.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Welcome to Florida. Mind your own business. So long, sucker, Okay,
any more texts?
Speaker 5 (22:57):
Somebody here is answering your question. You need a threat
or intimidation. The closest she's going to get to a
stocking for training order.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Yeah yeah, okay, yeah again, it's tough, all right. I'll
just tell you this so just quickly. When I was
in high school, we had this dopey neighbor who would
not stop coming to the house. And he was kind
of he was older, he was my brother's age, and
every day I would get up and he would just
be sitting on the couch and it drove me insane
because I would wake up and I'd hear him out there,
(23:26):
and I'd go again. Every single day when I wake up,
this guy's in the house. And one day I just
opened the door as I was on my way to
the bathroom, you know, with a robe on, my hair
and rollers, and I said, why would you go home?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Please just go home?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
And that was confusing to him, as you can imagine.
And then the other the other time, when I was
in my twenties, I had a friend who kept showing
up to the house and he just would not beat it,
and he was weird and he cursed a lot, and
one day showed up with a crotch of his pants
ripped out. And what I did was I just stopped
talking him all together. I just ghosted the guy and
(24:03):
I haven't talked to him ever since. And I never
offered him an explanation, because I honestly didn't know how
to say, Look, you're annoying, I'm tired of the profanity,
and you can't show up here with the crotch torn
out of your pants in front of my wife. You
can't walk around in my house like that. How do
you even have that conversation with somebody?
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Right?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
So instead I just stopped talking to him altogether, and
we've never spoken since, and I hope to god he's
not listening to this. I hope not if I know
nothing else about the humans, and I don't. It's this
people like a dog's a lot of dog owners, Yes,
(24:43):
And if you own a dog, perhaps you've seen your
dog watching television and you thought, well, just passively watching TV.
Think again. New research from Auburn University reveals that dogs
don't just passively watch TV or see it as backg round.
They have specific preferences when watching television. Oh really, this
(25:05):
is surprising yet oh there eighty eight point three percent
of dogs actively watch tvka okay, and dogs like content
featuring other animals, in particular dogs.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
That makes sense.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
So the ugly truth has been revealed. Dogs are narcissists
who only think about themselves when watching TV. They're looking
for other dogs. If it doesn't feature a dog, they're
not interested. Terrible hyper dogs tend to follow movement on televisions,
while anxious dogs react more to human voices and doorbells.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
Right right, because we have the ring doorbell on the
commercial in a nuts Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
They found that annoying. Little yippie dogs like shows featuring
a small man with a Napoleon complex because they feel
they can relate to the character. Right, this very specific
sy all gets more specific breed breed factored into it
as well. Really yeah, yeah, they watch TV based on breed.
For example, smarter dogs like Border colleagues and German shepherds.
(26:11):
They prefer documentaries and murder mysteries.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Oh interesting.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Basset hounds and bulldogs prefer reality shows like The Bachelor
and Love Island. Yeah. Game shows like Wheel of Fortune
are also popular in the hound community. Okay, now it
should be noted a word of caution, please when choosing
a program for your German shepherd, stay away from documentaries
(26:35):
about World War II. Okay. They get really defensive over that,
and they will often seek revenge on their owners by
dragging their butts on the carpet. Yeah. So, if you've
been showing your German shepherd World War two documentaries and
then you find some stains, now you know they're sending
you a message. Yeah yeah, now you know. And I
hope that this has been useful information, very educational. Well
(26:57):
that's what we do, Nicky. We tried comedy for a while.
That didn't work. Work. So here we are Jack.
