[SPEAKER_03]: Late night tonight.
[SPEAKER_02]: Where is she?
[SPEAKER_03]: A fellow cop leads pepper into a trap on police woman.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like Omera, radio entertainment.
[SPEAKER_03]: You can listen to the Michael Mery Show at MichaelMeryShow.com Wow, what a happy year.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a podcast.
[SPEAKER_01]: But I want to excitement, we have today.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's the Michael Mery Show with Michael Mery.
[SPEAKER_03]: And Rob Spiewack.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, here's Mike.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's for a lot.
[SPEAKER_11]: After all the feedback I've been getting lately, I wanted to start with a video.
[SPEAKER_11]: What?
[SPEAKER_11]: I wanted to start the show with a video today.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, I just put on.
[SPEAKER_11]: So, she'll maybe a too much of the last 24 hours.
[SPEAKER_08]: You know what, a lot of people might don't give you credit for... You're quite the wordsmith when you apply yourself.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I took a little care with that one last time.
[SPEAKER_11]: But I also reached out to our friend, Mr. Mark Soto, and I'd like to say thank you, Mark, for rejoining the fold, much appreciated, and I'd like to... You know, like I always say, if we have a personal exchange, it's nice to reach out.
[SPEAKER_11]: And now it's like, I'm on block that's sad so much.
[SPEAKER_11]: You can block, you know, you, you don't have anything to do.
[SPEAKER_11]: We don't coordinate our blockages.
[SPEAKER_08]: No, no, no, we don't.
[SPEAKER_11]: You can make anybody anywhere you want.
[SPEAKER_08]: But we coordinate our blockages at the hospital.
[SPEAKER_08]: But not on social media, right?
[SPEAKER_11]: And, you know, and so it is what it is.
[SPEAKER_11]: But I mean, that when you open up that Hornet since you get all the different feedback,
[SPEAKER_11]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I thought that someone asked me was that day sarcastic post or sardonic post.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think well, that's the very definition of sardonic as well.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, what I did on that post.
[SPEAKER_11]: And it suits my bleak outlook on life in general and my fellow human beings, which you know is expressed every day when I'm wearing this hat.
[SPEAKER_11]: Don't get happy.
[SPEAKER_11]: I love the society, you know.
[SPEAKER_08]: This is, you know, that's not a word we use on this show a lot bleak.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I like it.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, everybody, and then the naked trolls, and I think there, there was only one.
[SPEAKER_11]: So that's, I think we're doing really, really well.
[SPEAKER_11]: So I'm very happy when it's just one pure troll.
[SPEAKER_11]: And you can identify, if you ever worried about somebody who might be trolling you, you can usually, if you pop on their site, you can usually identify them by the last post they made was 1832.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's usually the way you can you can figure that also.
[SPEAKER_08]: I've found that a non-descript status photo is always a red flag for me.
[SPEAKER_08]: Like if it's a picture of a flower or a pig or something.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_08]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_11]: And the inanimate object.
[SPEAKER_11]: So Josh, I did send you a video and I'm curious.
[SPEAKER_11]: What did I caption it when I sent it to you?
[SPEAKER_11]: Because I want to send it to you.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's a good advice.
[SPEAKER_11]: some good advice uh... you know what it is good advice and i think we uh... we need that uh... it in this day and age so uh... please share that to with our listening audience right now here we go i think you'll enjoy a little bit of a reminder a word to the wise starting over again because you kind of visit at the beginning let's try one more he says it'll be a reminder yeah just a little bit of a reminder a word to the wise if you will
[SPEAKER_04]: Do not worry about the worries from yesterday, leave it in the past, move forward with confidence because there are so many new things to be experienced today, new joy to be had.
[SPEAKER_04]: So move forward, be strong, and have a good day.
[SPEAKER_11]: Why the tongue, the tongue is on the inside of me.
[SPEAKER_11]: The tongue makes it to the next level.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, it's a great accident.
[SPEAKER_11]: The tongue is, that's audio.
[SPEAKER_11]: See, people get enjoy that.
[SPEAKER_07]: The impression, you know, but I am creeped out of what is that guy's day job, like am I going to bump into him at a 7 11?
[SPEAKER_07]: Can we see it just one more time?
[SPEAKER_11]: Please, I can't help myself.
[SPEAKER_11]: I need to see that again.
[SPEAKER_11]: Forget how much I enjoy it.
[SPEAKER_04]: and work to the wise, if you will, do not worry about the worries from yesterday, leave it in the past, move forward with confidence, because there are so many new things to be experienced today,
[SPEAKER_04]: So move forward, be strong, and have a good re-receive update.
[SPEAKER_11]: And her smile to answer Josh's smile.
[SPEAKER_11]: I can't get that little piece of it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Say it's a wonderful piece of it.
[SPEAKER_11]: I still, I think.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think that his job is probably, he takes blood at a clinic.
[SPEAKER_08]: But he literally takes it.
[SPEAKER_08]: I love it.
[SPEAKER_08]: Now, I think that's a Spanish accent, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: You're the more of a dilution.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, though, I mean, it's a Spanish act.
[SPEAKER_08]: All right.
[SPEAKER_08]: Do you think the tongue has to do with the case still in the span?
[SPEAKER_11]: If you say, if it is, if you say that the Spanish dialect in many cases, or say, the Castilian pronunciation.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's Sabado, Sabado, Domingo, Domingo, they eat up on the tongue like that.
[SPEAKER_11]: I guess you're right.
[SPEAKER_11]: When of the, when of the, when of the, when of that,
[SPEAKER_08]: to get his, his lingua is an overachiever.
[SPEAKER_08]: I will say that.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think it's fantastic.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think it's a wonderful Chan and Fisher wants to know if he wears shoes or do they make him fall down?
[SPEAKER_11]: I do not know what to choose.
[SPEAKER_11]: They make me fall down.
[SPEAKER_11]: welcome to the show and yeah it's been it's been an interesting week it has been a very very interesting week but I always feel good when you know when at least to a certain extent I can reach out to somebody I didn't reach out to the other person they didn't reach out to me they chose to continue the you know the active not listening yes
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, so, you know, that's, that's, it is what it is.
[SPEAKER_11]: I do have one question and I will make it totally generic with no names.
[SPEAKER_11]: When someone says they've never been critical online, would you buy that necessarily from that other person?
[SPEAKER_07]: Was there a, was there a but or until now?
[SPEAKER_11]: It's just I think that Rob has a better memory than I have and I would like to think that there have been moments in the past.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think that the people that we're talking about or at least I theorize that we're talking about have been critical and I would say that anyone in the world that has ever been on Facebook has criticized something.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes, it's what it's an outlet.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's where you talk about show, but this show and I think me personally, and you know, I'm sure I know there have been the messages I think, but I didn't choose to do so.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, I don't think that I guess the point I'm trying to make is it doesn't come out of left field sometimes when I'm like, oh, God Yeah, where I do the eye role and all that but with the other with the originator not the case
[SPEAKER_11]: just kind of, you know, fun.
[SPEAKER_11]: And it was really a kind exchange.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I think that's good.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, I can choose one on one is always better.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: It is always better.
[SPEAKER_08]: And as a rule, our listeners are great.
[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, there are a few noisy outliers, but as a rule, everyone you meet, everyone you talk to is sensational.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't have to, you know, mention names.
[SPEAKER_11]: It doesn't matter,
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't feel as though I'm giving anything away, but I really thought, you know, I want people to know that, you know, there is a bit of a tone that I take when I, when I choose to reach out to somebody because I thought that, you know, it was, let me share it.
[SPEAKER_11]: This is work.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: This is a, this is a whole pocket of, of, of nicey nice here.
[SPEAKER_11]: All right.
[SPEAKER_11]: So I say hi person.
[SPEAKER_11]: I just wanted to say that I understand your frustration with the current state of the world.
[SPEAKER_11]: Please don't misconstrue my dialogue with Josh to be acceptance of the current Nazi regime.
[SPEAKER_11]: there.
[SPEAKER_11]: There are a lot of people that will enjoy that.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: I have read your recent posts and find them measured without hate and that's why I am reaching out.
[SPEAKER_11]: I know you are a long time listener and I just wanted to apologize for going off.
[SPEAKER_11]: I too am frustrated by the bigots and incompetence in our government and don't don't give me pop-ups.
[SPEAKER_11]: Josh and I co-exist because he and I make an effort to show respect to each other.
[SPEAKER_11]: That is not always easy, but I do try to give him a lame, and he knows that I need to vent as well.
[SPEAKER_11]: I hope you will reconsider your decision to bail on the show because I, like Dirk, really think you are a good guy.
[SPEAKER_11]: I wouldn't reach out if I didn't believe that.
[SPEAKER_11]: And then I mentioned somebody else's, but it heads with us on the show before, and has been preachy before, so that's a different case.
[SPEAKER_11]: The most important thing I wanted you to understand is that I feel your pain and understand your frustration.
[SPEAKER_11]: I just handle my show the way I feel I need to.
[SPEAKER_11]: I hope you give us another chance and believe me, I too want to stop with the politics for a while.
[SPEAKER_11]: Thanks for your support.
[SPEAKER_11]: And then very shortly thereafter.
[SPEAKER_11]: Hi, Mike.
[SPEAKER_11]: Thanks for reaching out.
[SPEAKER_11]: As I said on Facebook yesterday, I'm sorry for the manner in which I chose to express my frustrations.
[SPEAKER_11]: You're right.
[SPEAKER_11]: I should have addressed this directly with you.
[SPEAKER_11]: I may not
[SPEAKER_11]: have been as clear as I thought I was being when I mentioned politics, like Rob, I too long for the days when the gipper and tip would hash out political differences.
[SPEAKER_11]: It seems those days are over, would agree with that.
[SPEAKER_11]: And you know, you and I are Sympatico on our political positions.
[SPEAKER_11]: I do understand that you have to get along with Josh.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm glad you do, just like Josh and I agree on religion and our love of the orange and black.
[SPEAKER_11]: Baseball teams, you and Josh, no doubt, share a lot in common.
[SPEAKER_11]: We do as well as I've probably beaten this to death.
[SPEAKER_11]: But my frustration comes when I feel he's merely spewing
[SPEAKER_11]: false right wing talking points.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm told I'm told that's all I say.
[SPEAKER_11]: He absolutely has the right to speak his mind.
[SPEAKER_11]: But with what we're witnessing to our country right now, it's tough to hear things that seem like they were written by Stephen Miller.
[SPEAKER_11]: At times, I also would like to apologize for tagging sad into one right road.
[SPEAKER_11]: We're all passive aggressive.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, you're right when I have looked so it goes on and I but it was nice and what did you say at the end?
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm not going anywhere and look forward to my my giants beat your red socks in the world series this year again.
[SPEAKER_11]: Thanks for your kind words.
[SPEAKER_11]: Bam.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's how you do it.
[SPEAKER_08]: And if you want to hear Josh appreciate that for Mark.
[SPEAKER_08]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_08]: If you really want to hear Josh spout his rhetoric, watch our movie show.
[SPEAKER_08]: Hicks and sticks, but he's out of control.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm not quite sure that you know, I'm the thing that's interesting about Josh and I and Josh has said this.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think you've said this.
[SPEAKER_11]: Correct me if I'm wrong.
[SPEAKER_11]: You've gotten a
[SPEAKER_11]: You have gotten a lot of crap from like-minded people just like I've gotten yeah, yeah, I'm like my Yeah, and I'm there that don't like us having a dialogue.
[SPEAKER_07]: There there are it's just the climate we live in Yeah, but I think what people don't understand is you and I are more likely the fight and argue over baseball than politics Amen.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's true.
[SPEAKER_07]: We just come move on
[SPEAKER_11]: We move on and as far as the show is concerned, one of the reasons I don't dwell on it is a I really don't have that in me as much as I used to and and be.
[SPEAKER_11]: everybody's doing that.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's everywhere.
[SPEAKER_11]: And then you can get that in plenty of places that do it better than we do.
[SPEAKER_11]: And so, but with that said, and I think everybody on the show understands that I event, I like to vent.
[SPEAKER_11]: And it is interesting, I wrote this down when I was doing my show prep today.
[SPEAKER_11]: Let me see if I was talking to, we're taping two today, so I might have written it in the other place, but
[SPEAKER_11]: We've vent and I vent and I think one of the reasons we get the crap we do
[SPEAKER_11]: is because of, I like to think the accessibility of our personas.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think that, you know, an awful lot about us, and we do a lot of self on the analysis, a lot more than many, many more successful shows.
[SPEAKER_11]: You don't hear a lot of self analysis on, you know, even on Howard, and Howard has a very, very open show in an honest show.
[SPEAKER_11]: wall built a little higher than I do, but Howard's great at what he does, and Joe Rogan's great at what it is.
[SPEAKER_11]: But we kind of just, you know, in the same separate setting area, I think we do it more than a lot of people.
[SPEAKER_08]: I said yesterday, I think in the most recent years, we are more like ourselves on the show than we've ever been.
[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, this is really us.
[SPEAKER_08]: We're not putting anything on as a rule.
[SPEAKER_08]: And when people, when you let them in,
[SPEAKER_08]: Perhaps they feel like they have a little more importance or sway than they do, not to say that I don't love the listeners.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think they're great friends with all that.
[SPEAKER_11]: Darling, Matt, what is that?
[SPEAKER_11]: No.
[SPEAKER_11]: I heard like, do do do do do do.
[SPEAKER_07]: Like, no, I don't hear anything up here.
[SPEAKER_07]: No.
[SPEAKER_11]: There it is.
[SPEAKER_08]: I didn't even move when I heard it there because it's me.
[SPEAKER_11]: I was just doing it.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, okay, but yeah, but yeah, I mean, I mean, there's it's a very intimate medium and people, you know, they get closer to you than they have in other mediums and particularly now.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I just feel that, you know, it is one of the charming things about the show.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's one of the better things about the show.
[SPEAKER_08]: This is a pretty real show, folks.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: And politics don't come up to teach anyone or win an argument.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's just top of mind as we share who we are.
[SPEAKER_07]: I said, I did send Mike a guest request yesterday.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I do with him all.
[SPEAKER_11]: But I personally, I don't know who you were sending me, but you explained what it was.
[SPEAKER_11]: When I said, no, timing is everything.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, no, no.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's what I thought.
[SPEAKER_07]: I turned him down before even sending him over to you.
[SPEAKER_07]: Who is the, what is the, it was show.
[SPEAKER_07]: The Benny Show is like, it's a YouTube show.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's, or it's probably rumble show.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's probably not YouTube.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's probably rumble.
[SPEAKER_07]: And it is, um,
[SPEAKER_07]: It is, you know, a Fox News alternative, more even more maga, even more like one of the guys that can call Trump up any time to get him on the podcast with a film.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right.
[SPEAKER_07]: So can we can you bring up a picture of Benny?
[SPEAKER_11]: I'd like to see if I recognized Mike.
[SPEAKER_08]: I like the old days when we said the Benny show, we were freeing to Jack Benny on CBS.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's the Benny show.
[SPEAKER_08]: I like all Rochester.
[SPEAKER_11]: you know I go back and I look at that and I I that's one where I'm not sure I as time has passed whether I appreciate him more or not I'm not sure I a hundred percent do more okay I mean you do I mean you know I mean I've always held them in high regard but when you watch the way his show was constructed I think it's it's
[SPEAKER_11]: It's actually sort of sign-feldian because he plays the look to camera, you know, playing the camera, that, you know, that was very, very good.
[SPEAKER_11]: Let's talk about a TV recko that Rob, what do you want to see this guy?
[SPEAKER_11]: Is this the Benny Goat?
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, yeah, okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: This is the Benny guy that requests to come on the show.
[SPEAKER_11]: Leechy doesn't wrap himself in the flag.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, I mean, worse than 400 that flag my I'm wrote a back.
[SPEAKER_07]: I said keep up the good work.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's going to be a pass for us.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, that's good.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, getting back to Rob's reco.
[SPEAKER_11]: The show best medicine takes place in Maine.
[SPEAKER_11]: Rob indicated that it might take place like up near Bar Harbor and based on some of the fictitious names for the towns and places I said, oh yeah, this might be for me.
[SPEAKER_11]: And so when I had a moment, I decided let's let's dive in because I really like the star of the show because he was on the good wife and I forgot what his name is.
[SPEAKER_11]: He's another John Charles.
[SPEAKER_11]: Josh Charles.
[SPEAKER_11]: something that immediately disqualified that show for for me.
[SPEAKER_08]: What is that?
[SPEAKER_11]: Any pots?
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, but she's not being any pots.
[SPEAKER_11]: Very much.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, God, she's being every inch.
[SPEAKER_08]: No, no, when I think any pots, I think of her as the secretary and ghost posters.
[SPEAKER_08]: The receptionist and ghost posters.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's the Annie pots that you don't want.
[SPEAKER_11]: When I
[SPEAKER_11]: I, when I see your love for this and Josh, I, I know you're watching it too.
[SPEAKER_11]: I, I appreciate that, but this really, if I can just have a moment with, with my cohort, Mr. Speedwack here right now.
[SPEAKER_11]: This is why I really think you missed your calling.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think you should be a drag queen.
[SPEAKER_11]: I really, really don't know what this face is.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think I think that show, you would warn me, you said the Jive factor would be there and I couldn't, I couldn't survive it.
[SPEAKER_11]: I couldn't get past it.
[SPEAKER_11]: I couldn't get past the Jive with it.
[SPEAKER_11]: There's just not a lot to watch right now and I thought I'd take a risk of it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, man, what did you just, man, what did you do?
[SPEAKER_07]: You were cold.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, and you also, you started on episode four.
[SPEAKER_08]: You started on episode four.
[SPEAKER_08]: I did.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, with the guy coming out of the woods, what was his name?
[SPEAKER_08]: Brash or Slash or whatever?
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: So I had to head.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, then maybe I'm glad I did.
[SPEAKER_11]: Your opinion of that particular episode.
[SPEAKER_11]: Come on.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: Um, I liked it because it shows, I-
[SPEAKER_08]: Like North and exposure and shows like I think picket fences was a little bit like this, although I haven't watched this.
[SPEAKER_11]: I lots of supporting characters at the most recently released episode.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I am here to say that I did that's not giving.
[SPEAKER_11]: a show a fair shake with that be a weaker episode that I watched for I would say of the four that's not yet that's probably the weakest but I thought I liked it and I think I'm not going to begin and does a better job of introducing the town because yeah I'm not going to be able to make a judgment call on that you know what I plan to I plan to get another shot the contrivance with the food inspector well any positive if you can just the worst part of ghost busters
[SPEAKER_08]: If you can just compartmentalize any pots out of the show, the contrivens of the rest-drunk being investigated, I did not like that plot line.
[SPEAKER_08]: I didn't like that.
[SPEAKER_08]: That felt really contrived, but there are other plot lines in the first three episodes.
[SPEAKER_08]: The first three episodes that I think you will like.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: All right, you'll end then I, I'll be fair.
[SPEAKER_08]: And is it better than Bagonia?
[SPEAKER_08]: But going to the uh, the Emma Thompson movie, Mike, I, I misspoke when I said Emma Thompson is Emma Stone.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's another Emma.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, Emma Stone.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: You said Emma Thompson.
[SPEAKER_08]: I know I forgot.
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't, I'd be why I couldn't find the movie.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, Mike, I corrected it before we went on the radio.
[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, I just, I've said the wrong Emma.
[SPEAKER_08]: when we're talking to the pre-show now.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, you told us pre-show Emma Thompson, I've been told this pre-show.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, but I said that, but I googled it since then, right?
[SPEAKER_11]: You didn't, you, you said it before.
[SPEAKER_11]: And that's what I said.
[SPEAKER_11]: I totally agree with you.
[SPEAKER_07]: You did not take it before the show.
[SPEAKER_08]: All right.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, my apologies.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's still sucks.
[SPEAKER_08]: the movie, Bogonia.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't think Bogonia and the Emma Thompson movie are in the same ballpark at all.
[SPEAKER_11]: Emma Thompson's latest movie is Jive.
[SPEAKER_11]: Bogonia is weird.
[SPEAKER_11]: Too weird.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think I might agree with you.
[SPEAKER_11]: I didn't come in and give it a rave, but it's like, you know, when we're trying to get it, we need.
[SPEAKER_11]: I believe this discussion proves it.
[SPEAKER_11]: We need desperately a landman.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_11]: So everybody can get on the same page and share.
[SPEAKER_11]: And they're so hard to find now.
[SPEAKER_08]: It is, and it is you and far between.
[SPEAKER_11]: it is a real real wasteland out there right now it is like 10 minutes of looking through all the streamers and i will go so far as to tell you that uh... my algorithms on my uh... surfing on youtube you got to help me out here okay yeah
[SPEAKER_11]: I like watching a guy at a slot machine as much as the next.
[SPEAKER_11]: But you are just inundating me with this crap.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I cannot stand it.
[SPEAKER_11]: And by the way, another thing I want to mention, if I want to watch an execution, I want to watch an execution.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: You've been saying this for years, Mike.
[SPEAKER_11]: If I, you Rob knows that I get a kind of a kick out of watching Nazis execute it.
[SPEAKER_07]: I just don't think you can find that on YouTube.
[SPEAKER_11]: You're kind of a different app.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, you can.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, but I don't like those apps.
[SPEAKER_11]: Is that on rumble?
[SPEAKER_11]: Also, probably.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't like the apps.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know what?
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't want it.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, please don't do that.
[SPEAKER_11]: Don't send me anything, please.
[SPEAKER_08]: Mike, please don't.
[SPEAKER_08]: You can close your eyes and imagine a Nazi execution better than any film.
[SPEAKER_11]: I can't you're absolutely right at what else would there be.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm kind of burned out on all the things that I surf.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Burn down on buddy Rich.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm burned out on, uh,
[SPEAKER_11]: my weird taste.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm burned out on a slot machines.
[SPEAKER_11]: I am burned out on touring luxury boats.
[SPEAKER_08]: What about the cleaning fish?
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, can I say one last thing about the police, the hate that that we got this week?
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, I hope you enjoyed the illusion to the police, you know, criticize me for living in a house.
[SPEAKER_11]: I, uh, those are my, my all-time favorite, you know, pretty tough pretty tough to hear that when, you know, the show would be better if they're living in a house, 2,000 square feet.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's a, that's a big as it's a, it's a way to ensure they're big with bigger ones in their smaller ones.
[SPEAKER_08]: I get that.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think it's crazy that you live in a house.
[SPEAKER_08]: I was in, I was in sense.
[SPEAKER_08]: To, when last time I visited you, you feed your family.
[SPEAKER_08]: There's food in the house, yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, it's horrible.
[SPEAKER_11]: Frustrating to read those kind of comments, you know, when I'm, you know, when I'm getting denied for all my equity loan yesterday, you know, I mean, it's really, oh no, I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, they seem to think a late payment in June.
[SPEAKER_11]: Uh, means I have to wait all the way a full year before they can, uh, uh, unprie that, uh, that little cash into my, uh, hot little hands.
[SPEAKER_11]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_11]: So, uh, there's a lot of places to pal.
[SPEAKER_08]: There's a lot of places that you can get the money.
[SPEAKER_08]: Have you ever heard this phrase, your jobs, your credit?
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, uh, not gonna happen.
[SPEAKER_11]: I, uh, you know, I got in, uh, 24 hours,
[SPEAKER_11]: As far as the generations are concerned, what is the generation of guys in their 20s?
[SPEAKER_11]: What would that general be for in 2006?
[SPEAKER_11]: And so, Catherine was born in 1997.
[SPEAKER_11]: So, generation 95, rather.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Generation Z is 1997 to 2012.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: So that's Z.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's after that is alpha alpha is 2013.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_08]: That might you are a baby boomer because it's the 20 years after the war.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I'm right in the middle of generation X in 1971 and yeah, I'm on the tail end of X. Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Generation Z is what we're talking about.
[SPEAKER_11]: So okay, I got pure generation Z with the guy on the phone, uh, whose name was Josh.
[SPEAKER_11]: Sorry, Josh, but that's what his real name was and the theme of today, the, uh, what you get a lot of times, Josh, you get a center yourself on camera a little bit.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm reading the other screen for the generations.
[SPEAKER_11]: OK, generations, the generations, I got one at the, you know, at the Pick Your Pocket Company yesterday.
[SPEAKER_11]: And it was this disinterested kind of.
[SPEAKER_11]: And right before I didn't have the information he needed, and I was going to get off the phone and call him back.
[SPEAKER_11]: I asked if this question, can I ask you a question and I'd like you to be honest and I'm not trying to bust your chops.
[SPEAKER_11]: Do you like what you do?
[SPEAKER_11]: And this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, and I worked from home, and I wouldn't do it any other way.
[SPEAKER_11]: I said, OK, well, you know what?
[SPEAKER_11]: And this got a reaction, a positive reaction from me, I said, you know, I'm not sure why I like you, but I like you.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I hear it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Wow, and intimacy, but at the end he kind of told me to pound sand.
[SPEAKER_11]: He was going to farm me off to another thing.
[SPEAKER_11]: All right, well, you got to wait till June, you know, and I mean, I do homes.
[SPEAKER_11]: There are other people that might be able to help you out.
[SPEAKER_11]: I can transfer you over there.
[SPEAKER_11]: And thanks, Josh.
[SPEAKER_08]: I've asked that very question before, but this is a perfect situation, my very question.
[SPEAKER_11]: What are you talking about?
[SPEAKER_08]: Do you like what you do when I'm dealing with people like that?
[SPEAKER_08]: But then also, I don't do it when I'm actually asking something of them.
[SPEAKER_08]: I do it when they are, you know, annoying me.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's usually an integral when I get angry.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_08]: But that is a situation of you want him to like you.
[SPEAKER_08]: and he wants to like you, right, but it just can't happen because of the the stumbling block in the middle, sure.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm fine with that, but I went away and there was no, uh, you didn't accept the transfer.
[SPEAKER_11]: I, uh, no, I did not.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, okay, because you were in charge of lunch later.
[SPEAKER_11]: I, I, I, I, no.
[SPEAKER_11]: I smell the rap with the transfer rob.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think that was a decent instinct.
[SPEAKER_11]: I said that that was going to a totally different.
[SPEAKER_11]: No.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: You're right.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, you know, my, in my case, my homes plural, that'll pick the guy off are my credit.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay, that's really the way I look at that set and as far as so later in the day, I took my kid to to get some swings in at the place we call Debat, which is the must be nice to have all that money to be able to go to Debat whenever you want.
[SPEAKER_11]: And he's the one, I have a monthly subscription.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, that's a good 60 bucks.
[SPEAKER_11]: So I go there and through batting practice in one of the cages to my kid.
[SPEAKER_11]: And as I'm coming out, I laid it on one of the coaches, one of the private coaches in the cage next door.
[SPEAKER_11]: I said, I'm too old for this.
[SPEAKER_11]: And then it went over and he gave me a nice little lap.
[SPEAKER_11]: And then the Zeeer, the Gen Zeeer, behind the counter.
[SPEAKER_08]: Miss Zeeer, again.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, backwards hat.
[SPEAKER_08]: Low in his chair had backwards and crooked right.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, and I came out and I said, I'm too old for this 66 throwing batting practice now what it used to be and the comment was You get him a private lesson
[SPEAKER_11]: And I so at that very moment, you should have gone over the counter, Mike, like in a Western movement.
[SPEAKER_11]: I really wanted to say, why don't you just bite my ass?
[SPEAKER_08]: I was, he could have a private lesson in being a human.
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, he could have had worse responses.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: He could have said then his dad should help.
[SPEAKER_11]: that would have been funny though that would have meant that but this is on the heels of my daughter expressing frustration over her staff my daughter now in her thirties and uh... being uh... you know employing
[SPEAKER_11]: a bunch of guys in their 20s, and she was railing at the, I think the way she put it, she said, I am reasonably sure that generation Alpha has a better work ethic than generation Z.
[SPEAKER_11]: Apparently the, uh, Catherine was 1995, would that be millennial?
[SPEAKER_11]: That'd be millennial.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, so Catherine believes that the generation Z people are entitled don't like to work complain.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay, so you they are.
[SPEAKER_07]: I've managed these people and I thought it was a Florida thing at first until I started talking with people that it is that generation where they they have no desire to move out of their homes.
[SPEAKER_07]: But they're parents.
[SPEAKER_07]: They have no desire to get married and build a family.
[SPEAKER_07]: They've got no desire to like What we would always call like grow up and be a better human right now.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, yeah, I hate when people say adulting like it's something You know, you joke.
[SPEAKER_08]: I did it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, joke.
[SPEAKER_11]: I said.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, no, no, but I'm curious the boyfriend of my Elizabeth
[SPEAKER_08]: but they really mean it and they've got they've been through the covid at a very key time usually in their education.
[SPEAKER_11]: I have one daughter in uh... i have one daughter born in ninety five the other one was ninety seven does that make her a jenseer uh... ninety seven is the beginning of jensee
[SPEAKER_07]: okay did um there is a move now I said hey isn't a time to start a delting I have read multiple articles tried to normalize the idea of a stay at home son the idea is you go to college you come back and live at home you don't get a job your job is to take care of your parents
[SPEAKER_07]: and you just stay at home and play video games, but you do the laundry for them.
[SPEAKER_07]: You do the dishes and clean up around the house.
[SPEAKER_08]: Did you just do any of that for you, Rob?
[SPEAKER_08]: He cooks.
[SPEAKER_08]: He cleans.
[SPEAKER_08]: He does dishes, but also that's not fair to loopen in with that because he does he has a job.
[SPEAKER_08]: He's got a job.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, the John doesn't count if you're living at home.
[SPEAKER_11]: But he's fresh out of school.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, he's fresh out of his, what have you long term plans?
[SPEAKER_08]: Right now, I would say it's leaning and I couldn't be more happy towards education.
[SPEAKER_11]: But as a teacher's assistant, He will live with you for 20 years.
[SPEAKER_08]: And you know what?
[SPEAKER_08]: You're home until you die.
[SPEAKER_08]: There are worse things that could happen.
[SPEAKER_08]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_11]: and that's the way.
[SPEAKER_08]: But right now he came to me very upset because he was mentioning he was a measuring his student loans against what he makes as a teacher's assistant and I said you really should have gone to school in state like I said five years ago, but that aside, you know, it's just not feasible right now for the amount of money he paid for his piece of paper, the
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I think that's fair when you're talking about kids that, you know, especially with the whole student loan thing.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's a, that's a tough one.
[SPEAKER_11]: And he's not putting the debt on us either.
[SPEAKER_11]: You want to take care of right in tap dance or what is that?
[SPEAKER_11]: What do you want?
[SPEAKER_11]: Why did, why did, what did, what did you do me?
[SPEAKER_11]: Who's tap dancing?
[SPEAKER_07]: We're going to be more tap dancing around Robert.
[SPEAKER_07]: Maybe I guess, but no, Robert doesn't fall into this because he's got that goal of certification and we're talking to you.
[SPEAKER_09]: We're not out here.
[SPEAKER_08]: He plays in the.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, he's a good ass.
[SPEAKER_08]: Mike, he digs he runs.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, but Genzy that Catherine was complaining about it and saying they don't that they are and Catherine says it.
[SPEAKER_11]: They're so soft.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: They are so protected and protected.
[SPEAKER_08]: They are also they've all things have gotten so much easier in the past 25.
[SPEAKER_08]: We talked about the friction thing yesterday.
[SPEAKER_08]: They're so little friction.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well Genzy is the type who their parent brings them to the
[SPEAKER_07]: That's a jensee.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, wow.
[SPEAKER_11]: Really.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Really.
[SPEAKER_11]: And so you've had a bunch of a more for you.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_11]: I see.
[SPEAKER_11]: I And they don't laugh if you're putting pressure on them.
[SPEAKER_08]: Now this was when you were running the massage parlor or where was this?
[SPEAKER_07]: This would be normal, uh, this would be field technicians for, uh, audio video company.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, that's hard work.
[SPEAKER_08]: They're not going to do that.
[SPEAKER_07]: I want how to, I want how to kid.
[SPEAKER_07]: I had him climb under a house and they're like a crawl space to run a wire and he did it and he came out and removed his shirt and his pants and said I quit and gotten his car and drove off because they were muddy.
[SPEAKER_08]: all about that.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I mean, a little soft.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: It happens and you know, I think in fairness, we have to mention the financial climate right now.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, certainly not what it was when I came out of college.
[SPEAKER_11]: Of course.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, I think it was we had it.
[SPEAKER_08]: It was right before the stock market crash.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, it was thrillingly exciting.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: We know it's not in the by the house and all.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's the attitude.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: The attitude is we don't want to advance.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I was able to come out of college, get a job while I was still in college, transition into that being a full-time job, then move up the ladder of my career and then go into management.
[SPEAKER_11]: And during that time period, at the age of 25, 26,
[SPEAKER_11]: by a house.
[SPEAKER_11]: And a house that was, are you ready for this?
[SPEAKER_11]: A house that was, I think, $56,000.
[SPEAKER_11]: And the price of a moderate Chevrolet, you can get a down payment on a truck for that now.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: So I mean,
[SPEAKER_08]: That's where we are.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I was I was we had bought a house when I was 26 and I lived it home for I think maybe a year or less and year one generation after me.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_08]: What is called generation X generation X. Yeah, 61 to 81 or 60 to 80 depending it would.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right.
[SPEAKER_08]: Break you look at.
[SPEAKER_08]: And same with me, I bought a house 25 26.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I think, you know, as far as the generation Alpha, my son's age, I do believe they are going to be better than Gen Z, simply because of the work ethic, because they are aware much more aware of all the pitfalls and all the trouble and everything that's happening.
[SPEAKER_08]: How about this, Mike?
[SPEAKER_11]: I think they're thicker skinned too in my humble opinion.
[SPEAKER_08]: I know that you have your opinions about the greatest generation.
[SPEAKER_08]: That is 1925 to 1945.
[SPEAKER_08]: The one that preceded you, you call them entitled.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I have no disagreement here.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: Do you think that the sort of was really earlier than that, too?
[SPEAKER_11]: Because the greatest generation would be born a little earlier than that.
[SPEAKER_11]: World War II veterans in particular, the greatest generation.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's the people.
[SPEAKER_11]: that are the progeny, my the boomers.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: The boomers is the problem.
[SPEAKER_11]: The boomers are too.
[SPEAKER_11]: We're we're the worst of worst.
[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, I believe that with all of my soul, you see the way you think that has to do with the way the greatest generation had to deal with war and depression and the and the great depression.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: And by the way, I've done a lot of reading about it, Mike.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's not that great.
[SPEAKER_08]: It was horrible.
[SPEAKER_11]: I, uh,
[SPEAKER_11]: Boy, sometimes, I mean, we've been heavy all weeks, so that's why I didn't bring this to the show and it was a video and it practically was a documentary of a Russian prisoner of war at, uh, I forgot the name of the concentration camp that he was held at and there was a Russian barracks and an American barracks and the Americans got Red Cross deliveries of food.
[SPEAKER_11]: the Russians did not.
[SPEAKER_11]: The Russians were literally starving to death and they worked out a system of the Americans getting the Russians food products through a very, you know, complicated of smuggling that they get.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: And it just,
[SPEAKER_11]: they interviewed a couple of the this was an old this this goes back this is a clip wide showed up on my feet I don't know but it goes all the way back to the eighties with the things 1988 with Charles Corralte doing the P.S.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A
[SPEAKER_11]: They talk about it, and the Russian goes back and forth.
[SPEAKER_11]: it is absolutely incredible how this story developed where they interviewed this Russian guy who wanted to see Charles Corral wanted an American reporter.
[SPEAKER_11]: So he could tell him the story of these American POWs that helped and they were able to track them down and then they were actually able, there's a big deal back in the 80s.
[SPEAKER_11]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_11]: To fly the guy to Russia to meet with the prisoner that he helped.
[SPEAKER_11]: He was a dentist in Russia.
[SPEAKER_11]: and he had been a dental officer in the Russian Army.
[SPEAKER_11]: And it was absolutely astonishing, not only the Americans that helped this Russian POW, but the fact that the POW had kept it in his heart and reached out after all these years, and you're just looking at, oh my God, you're looking at special human beings here, you're looking at people, and we don't have
[SPEAKER_11]: nearly enough of that.
[SPEAKER_11]: I have a question any of that.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's a, it's astonishing.
[SPEAKER_11]: The children, the children of the greatest generation.
[SPEAKER_11]: And this is my generation.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_11]: I see it every day down here, living down here.
[SPEAKER_11]: There, there are so much cowardice, so much entitlement entitlement.
[SPEAKER_11]: Self-importance people that just don't acknowledge others and their value, it's incredible.
[SPEAKER_11]: Go ahead,
[SPEAKER_07]: No, I think there is a self-importance there, and I think you see what I hear from other people is they don't want to be grandparents.
[SPEAKER_07]: So therefore, they're not they're helping because they're like, oh, I'm free, I'm my own person.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, I wanted to ask you about that, too.
[SPEAKER_07]: Mike, your take on the fact that it's my parents are great.
[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, whenever you see like, you know, 60 is the new 40 or whatever, or the fact that now, and it's not always just because of health, people are not embracing the fact that they're aging.
[SPEAKER_08]: And because of that, I think a lot of people are stuck thinking that they're younger than they are, you know, because if you're 50 and you're acting the way your parents did when they were 25, you're going to pay, hey, you know what, I'm still young, but you're still aging.
[SPEAKER_11]: And then only because I've done things later in life, and I really now, I mean, I have
[SPEAKER_11]: and this is the truth folks I have my free time that I used to talk about all the time but really you know Carly goes out and slays the dragon every day and I I really have taken a lot of the responsibilities you know being the chief chauffeur in charge and and I love every minute of it and if either of my daughters came to me and told me that you know they were going to get married and have a child I it would not I couldn't even
[SPEAKER_11]: my priorities.
[SPEAKER_11]: I would run to that.
[SPEAKER_11]: I of course love love every minute of that.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think you do have a point.
[SPEAKER_11]: I've heard it down here where you know, they were here for three days.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_11]: I roll up.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: And it's just.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: Also, you got three you got three heads here on your screen that.
[SPEAKER_08]: family's very important to them.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: And like I started to see it in college when people would dread going home for the weekend because they hated their family.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I don't know if that's something that's always happened or something that is sort of native to generation X.
[SPEAKER_08]: But if you are, you know,
[SPEAKER_08]: I think that the family structure as it's been for the last 6,000 years is pretty good.
[SPEAKER_08]: You know, you look, you know, you look, you help your kids, you help your grandkids, they help you, you want to come with them.
[SPEAKER_11]: Robin, I love this movie.
[SPEAKER_11]: If you want to check out a film, it kind of shows you what happened.
[SPEAKER_11]: Look at that a lot.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's a very it is beautiful movie and it really kind of shows you where we're at all started the disintegration a little bit so anyway, we we rambled on them over a weird week, right?
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, we're weird.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, it's very very you know why because you're a baby boomer, and that's the way you talk
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I'm just entitled.
[SPEAKER_11]: You are.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's just a cold weather.
[SPEAKER_11]: I know.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, he does the cold way.
[SPEAKER_11]: He never been on more than it's been on now.
[SPEAKER_11]: Hey, it seems like lately everyone's trying to clean up their habits.
[SPEAKER_11]: Rob is the same way.
[SPEAKER_11]: And honestly, having one less drink has never felt easier for him.
[SPEAKER_11]: Instead of pouring a cocktail, Rob has been reaching for souls out of office drinks.
[SPEAKER_11]: Soul makes feeling good simple and they taste good, too, right?

[SPEAKER_11]: This is Mike saying this, not the other two, but I will say, you want to know why we're getting, getting crap.
[SPEAKER_11]: We get crap because we eat crap up, just like our food, just like what's it?
[SPEAKER_08]: Who is your five star chef or your, your noted chef that talked to you about that?
[SPEAKER_11]: About the food we get his name, Rob.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm glad you brought it up was a gentleman named Jelal Pengill.
[SPEAKER_11]: He was a narcissist
[SPEAKER_11]: Do you know why Americans get the bad food?
[SPEAKER_11]: I said no to rock.
[SPEAKER_11]: Why do they get bad food?
[SPEAKER_11]: Because you accepted.
[SPEAKER_08]: it's a valid thing in many sort of formats.
[SPEAKER_08]: We do accept a lot of correct.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think it is.
[SPEAKER_11]: According to a new report, 50% of hiring managers are expecting employee turn over to climb in 2026.
[SPEAKER_11]: Those expectations are notably higher than a year ago when it was at a 10% less 39% and two years ago when it was 33% and the financial impacts are also rising.
[SPEAKER_11]: the average cost of an employee leaving has jumped to more than $45,200, which is up sharply from $36,700 last year.
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't know where they might get that said, that's a lot of money, especially if he's the only guy who knows that added audio at your company.
[SPEAKER_11]: Turn over, sounds like it'll be a bigger deal at larger organizations.
[SPEAKER_11]: 64% of companies with 500 more employees expect turnover to rise, while it's less intense for smaller businesses.
[SPEAKER_11]: The reasons for more turnover include increased work place demands, a competitive job market better pay and benefits offered elsewhere and the employees switching careers.
[SPEAKER_08]: Now hasn't touched the tech industry because I've always been interested in Apple turnover.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
[SPEAKER_11]: Bruce's family shared in 2023 that he has fronto temporal dementia, FTD for short, MSS Bruce never connected the dots that he has this disease because of a condition called anosognosia.
[SPEAKER_11]: uh... hope i didn't massacre that too bad it's when the brain can identify what's happening to it so so sad it's common in patients with ftd and other types of dementia she adds quote where people think this might be denial where they don't want to go to the doctor because they're like i'm fine actually this is that condition that comes into play that's the blessing and the curse of this the bruised never tagged it never tapped it he uh... you know he he's she's really happy he doesn't know about it
[SPEAKER_08]: I hate that he's sick.
[SPEAKER_08]: I love the fact that he seems to be unaware of it if she says is true still I over the Christmas on body he is yeah over Christmas.
[SPEAKER_08]: I watched all the die hearts and I watched some moonlighting too Yeah, and he was one of the last movie stars.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think he was so
[SPEAKER_08]: Dynamic and fun and a great guest.
[SPEAKER_08]: I even ended up naming my daughter her middle name after him From his character in moonlight.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm a big big fan and it's sad to me that we don't have him anymore Yeah, so the fact that you can say anything good about his condition, please, it's me greatly
[SPEAKER_11]: His wife, MS says Bruce still knows who she is, but the way he connects with her and their kids is different than someone who would typically, typically connect with their loved ones.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's still very beautiful and meaningful.
[SPEAKER_11]: You just learn how to adapt.
[SPEAKER_11]: God bless her and that's a lot to deal with.
[SPEAKER_11]: Did Bill Cosby actually admit under oath that he got his hands on quailudes solely for the purposes of drugging women so he could have sex with them?
[SPEAKER_11]: 10, 19, 18, he's going to have the quailudes.
[SPEAKER_11]: TMZ claimed claims to have seen legal documents in which Cosby says exactly that, they're supposed to be part of a deposition that he gave in a lawsuit filed by one of his rape accusers Donna Motsinger.
[SPEAKER_11]: Cosby alleged, allegedly admitted that he got prescriptions for the pills from an OBGYN during a poker game at his house sometime before 1972, and he refilled it seven times and he never took any of the pills himself.
[SPEAKER_11]: Monsinger claims.
[SPEAKER_11]: Cosby, drugged and raped her in 1972.
[SPEAKER_11]: Josh, you'll notice some people just can't get away from the pop culture of Cosby.
[SPEAKER_11]: You see, that's the point.
[SPEAKER_07]: I would be hiring you here.
[SPEAKER_11]: Pop culture.
[SPEAKER_11]: I do.
[SPEAKER_11]: The OBGYN had his license revoked in California, 1979.
[SPEAKER_11]: Cosby's trying to get the lawsuit dropped.
[SPEAKER_11]: Cosby in case you didn't know that, played an obstetrician on the Cosby show.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: That was a nod to his old buddy who hooked him up
[SPEAKER_07]: And he drugged them in spoons of jello, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: No, stop it, it was pudding.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'd like to point out, I didn't do pudding.
[SPEAKER_11]: Although I really, really want to.
[SPEAKER_11]: I sometimes just don't feel that is the right thing to do, but that's me.
[SPEAKER_11]: Here's something great for you.
[SPEAKER_11]: Not for you, Rob, but for anybody this, you know.
[SPEAKER_11]: Absolute vodka just teamed up on a new product called Absolute Tabasco Oh, what a big time to be sober.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's a spicy vodka.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm all in.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, they didn't just dump Tabasco in there It's made with Tabasco pepper mash the stuff they start with when they make the sauce They describe it as medium heat, so not too hot, but the first ad for it features four people drinking it next to an active volcano
[SPEAKER_08]: Josh, let me tell you about another guy and he might be on this show or maybe he doesn't but when he used to fly first class early in the morning He would have something we like to call it tomato martini, which was vodka and just enough Mr. or Mrs. T. To change the color and then celebrate tomato is a very omnipresent flavor when you But I'm thinking I don't mind back in the day.
[SPEAKER_08]: I didn't mind a spicy
[SPEAKER_08]: that he had a lot of money.
[SPEAKER_08]: He had a lot of money.
[SPEAKER_11]: He had a lot of money.
[SPEAKER_11]: He had a lot of money
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, for a bloody Mary, a man.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yum, yum, yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think that's that's that's smart.
[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, I think it's a good use of it.
[SPEAKER_08]: Is it still going to be 80 proof?
[SPEAKER_11]: Not sure they describe it as a medium heat, so not too hot, but the first ad features, you know, these people that by the volcano, above the volcano, it's smooth, they say, accented with a heat that builds, leaving a warm, lingering tingle on the lips with every sip.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's 76 proof.
[SPEAKER_11]: that's what they say.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay, they had to send alcohol.
[SPEAKER_08]: Bad and does the mash, the pepper mash probably knocked down the alcoholness a little bit.
[SPEAKER_08]: He still knows the percentage of alcohol.
[SPEAKER_08]: Mike, I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Available nationwide starting now, but don't get tempted.
[SPEAKER_08]: It sounds like Mike in food circles.
[SPEAKER_08]: What they would say is that vodka has a nice backburn.
[SPEAKER_08]: Backburn with a mild heat.
[SPEAKER_11]: Hey, oh, now finally, ladies and gentlemen, a 51 year old guy in Florida.

[SPEAKER_11]: You poo
[SPEAKER_08]: I always enjoyed when I was working in Washington, D.C. when they would issue a boil water advisory meeting.
[SPEAKER_08]: It wasn't safe to drink the water and was to boil it.
[SPEAKER_08]: We've not reached that yet.
[SPEAKER_08]: They say it's still safe, but I want to show you some footage, a news team for actually covering this.
[SPEAKER_01]: hundreds of millions of millions of raw seaweed and filling into the river after a pipe collapse.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now officials tell news for they will be able to stop that flow until some time next week.
[SPEAKER_01]: That means 40 million gallons of sewage a day.
[SPEAKER_01]: Newsforce Mark Seagraves shows us what could end up being one of the poor.
[SPEAKER_01]: Seagraves on environmental disasters in our region.
[SPEAKER_05]: This is the scene from Chopper 4 today where the raw food continues to spout from the broken pipeline.
[SPEAKER_05]: The massive flow of sewage running through this creek bed along the C&O canal and fix it into the Potomac River.
[SPEAKER_05]: The sewage clearly visible along shoreline.
[SPEAKER_05]: Great.
[SPEAKER_05]: We've discovered money.
[SPEAKER_05]: Look at it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Humping raw sewage into the river at a rate of between 40 and 60 million gallons a day.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_05]: 10.
[SPEAKER_05]: The sewage flows into the river.
[SPEAKER_05]: Warning signs have been posted by that.
[SPEAKER_05]: That'll work.
[SPEAKER_08]: I always wonder about raw sewage.
[SPEAKER_08]: If they had the time to cook it.
[SPEAKER_11]: I love somebody writing shit's creaked there.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, my sign.
[SPEAKER_11]: What is the deal?
[SPEAKER_11]: You're up there.
[SPEAKER_11]: Have you been following this story?
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, yes, my what happened to see with nothing happening to anything.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, with the ancient, the ancient infrastructure.
[SPEAKER_08]: The cold has actually made the pipes week.
[SPEAKER_08]: How?
[SPEAKER_08]: And because of that, they bust this main, this artery, I suppose.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, no, what the problem is.
[SPEAKER_08]: But how is this story?
[SPEAKER_08]: This story is no.
[SPEAKER_08]: there's still going this is footage from last week but the story is still going on today this is the best summation are they not doing anything to i mean isn't there uh some sort of valve that they can chop off mic some point they've done that the best they can do they're re-rooting the poop
[SPEAKER_05]: flowing by John Lyle with D.C. Water tells News 4.
[SPEAKER_05]: Here we go.
[SPEAKER_05]: Who's our working.
[SPEAKER_05]: Your crack come at the break in the podcast.
[SPEAKER_05]: The birth of the sewage into the canal.
[SPEAKER_05]: But that will take until next week.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's no doubt it is a significant spill.
[SPEAKER_05]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's all I need.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's no doubt as you will notice.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's a significant with the shit.
[SPEAKER_09]: everywhere, come on.
[SPEAKER_07]: You would think you could go right where the bubble in is happening and wrap something around the pipe.
[SPEAKER_11]: The show today, I would like the name to be bubbling is happening.
[SPEAKER_08]: The bubble is happening.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, good.
[SPEAKER_11]: Mike, you'll be pleased to know that on my shot at least when you leaned down like that, it appears that the flames coming out of the Micomera Show logo are sticking up your notes.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: I just was noticing that.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's just a let's decant.
[SPEAKER_11]: Can you are you looking at the same shot?
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm looking at I am.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think it's beautiful.
[SPEAKER_08]: You should know that a water sample taken near the right of the side of the rupture had extraordinarily high examples of E. coli 12,000 times higher than the recommended limit for human people.
[SPEAKER_08]: 12,000 times.
[SPEAKER_08]: Also, a bacteria 60 times higher than what is considered safe, but the water is still DC water is still safe to drink.
[SPEAKER_11]: So stay hydrated for nothing, nothing worse in my opinion, nothing way to go.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't even have a down here.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't know if they have that up where you live Rob, but Josh, they probably have it up near you where they call it recycled water.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's like
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: It smells.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's so gross when you see that.
[SPEAKER_11]: And, you know, trust no one when it comes to water sources and everything, but when you look at it going into, do you ever wonder like I do sometimes like, why is there a pipe there anyway?
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_11]: Why is there a pipe?
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, I think body of water in the first place.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think also DC had plumbing before it grew up into a city.
[SPEAKER_08]: So they had to work around the plumbing.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: That was just probably, that's where it went to the river.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, we'll send it.
[SPEAKER_08]: We'll send it down.
[SPEAKER_08]: Mike, I want also mentioned the poop sleeper cells.
[SPEAKER_08]: I know they didn't get to that in the television story.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_08]: Much of the sewage may be locked in ice at the moment.
[SPEAKER_08]: The riverkeeper says that he's unsure what the effect will have, what it is released later, or what will happen the summer with the sewage has settled into
[SPEAKER_08]: We don't have temperatures below above freezing for at least another week up here, so all that stuff is going to stay frozen fresh just like Clarence bird's eye But as soon as the spring time comes, I think we're in for a very
[SPEAKER_11]: I'll just say this, enjoy the cherry blossoms, you know, back in the day when I would spend lots of time on boats on the Potomac River, whereas as our friend Nodak said, the Potomac, I remember that I would
[SPEAKER_11]: there were there were several locations where there would be like a restaurant and then it you pull your boat into the shallows yeah and you'd have a beer and you would just stand in the river yeah i was never really comfortable with that it was always kind because the gribblees you think about i mean it's been it's on their nasty river that they're both nasty the anacostia and the patomic outside of dc are both yeah
[SPEAKER_08]: like potty rivers right but remember it didn't stop the Olympics from having events in the sand and the sand is just as bad the sand is another old city that has poop flowing all through it so I mean this will poop that this will poop off that one guy I had a boat
[SPEAKER_07]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_11]: You're on a yacht and now a big big yacht.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, I remember I would take my boat up to the Potomac River up to National Harbor.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's where like Tony and Joe's used to be, right?
[SPEAKER_11]: That's a place.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, and I remember you would have to slow down to a no-wake zone going by the city of Alexandria.
[SPEAKER_11]: They'd say.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, it's a beautiful city.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, I know.
[SPEAKER_11]: Nastyist.
[SPEAKER_11]: Horrific, you know, ye old Alexandria, uh, just...
[SPEAKER_08]: It's growing up, um, we had well water, but the only other water we would touch is water that we drew out with a bucket from Fletcher's boat house.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, man, there's a good stuff.
[SPEAKER_10]: Bam, tastes like pee.
[SPEAKER_08]: It really does, but anyway, you know, if you want to know what's going on in DC, just be comfortable that our infrastructure is strong as ever.
[SPEAKER_11]: All right, before we get out of this segment, I have to bring it up because the doomsday clock has been on your heart.
[SPEAKER_11]: I've heard it at multiple other sources, and we like to, as we approach the end of the week, wrap things up here and put a bow on it.
[SPEAKER_07]: This is yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: This is going to count down to nuclear war.
[SPEAKER_11]: public out into the end of the end of the end of the destroy the world.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, you're in a prediction.
[SPEAKER_11]: We will be attacked by great Britain and China.
[SPEAKER_11]: I read the news.
[SPEAKER_08]: Anyway, Mike, the doomsday clock was established a slightly after World War II, and they gave, I think at that time, the world seven and a half minutes, or seven minutes, because, you know, we'd had atomic energy.
[SPEAKER_11]: We haven't gone one so like they'd all blow up in seven and a half minutes.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, no, if you just look at, you know, the countdown, of course, it's not going to literally be seven minutes.
[SPEAKER_08]: But you know, the count will do this.
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't even know.
[SPEAKER_08]: We're getting closer to the end.
[SPEAKER_08]: How do you do the countdown?
[SPEAKER_08]: They just started at seven minutes when they started it and they've worked from that since then.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, whatever it would be like.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, it's it's sort of catch one catch.
[SPEAKER_11]: or world turmoil, they shave minutes off the clock is that what I don't think it's ever gone up.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's always gone down.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: So what's the clock at now?
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, let's look back over a few years.
[SPEAKER_08]: In 2015, it was three minutes to midnight.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's not bad.
[SPEAKER_11]: And midnight is, of course, the go time.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's when we end.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: In 2017, two and a half minutes to midnight.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's a rate we can't keep up in 2018, two minutes to midnight in 2020, a hundred seconds to midnight, 2023, 90 seconds to midnight.
[SPEAKER_08]: And as recently as 2025, 89 seconds to midnight.
[SPEAKER_08]: So they revealed this week that there is a glimmer of hope they say, but they still have the tie.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I should have it
[SPEAKER_08]: Ah, I'm going to be it.
[SPEAKER_08]: Sorry about this fellas.
[SPEAKER_08]: It is at 80 mic, mic I do, as a matter of fact I do.
[SPEAKER_08]: It went from 89 seconds to 85 seconds.
[SPEAKER_08]: So that is a smaller, so maybe we can at least make it through like maybe our kids lives without the world imploding, but I mean we've got it.
[SPEAKER_02]: They have it.
[SPEAKER_08]: We've got unrest between countries that have nuclear power.
[SPEAKER_08]: There's lots of stuff going down and frankly You know what I don't like that number.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, they've added climate change and AI to the clock as well Yeah, we're all hit.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's what's doing Mike and what I would do if I were you if you're nervous
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[SPEAKER_08]: Is it?
[SPEAKER_08]: Now, just curious.
[SPEAKER_08]: Do you think we have enough stupidity at the high levels all over the world?
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm not just talking about the United States all over the world that it really could end just like that.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: No.

[SPEAKER_11]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_11]: I I should probably Recommend you by the other two guys to go ahead.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know what's great is a conversation You go both sides again.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I know both sides Yeah, why can't you mean what you say and really stand by it Mike?
[SPEAKER_11]: Sorry, okay, I real quick.
[SPEAKER_11]: We have a brief amount of time where I just want to cover this My kid hops in the car yesterday when I pick him up and he is saying He's talking about a particular teacher won't mention the subject won't mention the name of the teacher I will simply mention He thought this was mean and what's cool about it.
[SPEAKER_11]: He's not talking about himself.
[SPEAKER_11]: He's talking about another kid
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay, really, really upset and this is his toughest teacher.
[SPEAKER_11]: He's talking about here.
[SPEAKER_11]: This teacher has a reputation of being tough.
[SPEAKER_08]: May ask you if it's a male or female teacher.
[SPEAKER_08]: No, you may not.
[SPEAKER_08]: I may not ask that.
[SPEAKER_11]: So anyway, it's 2026.
[SPEAKER_07]: You can ask that.
[SPEAKER_07]: You can't do that.
[SPEAKER_11]: I know it's important to you, but it's not appropriate here.
[SPEAKER_11]: Let me just say that he ups in the car.
[SPEAKER_11]: He says, this kid comes into the class, it's late in the day in the class, and they're handing in homework, which they get graded for, whether they turn it in or don't turn it in.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's a big deal.
[SPEAKER_11]: Part of that grade.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, like any class, and this kid informs the teach that his homework's in the locker.
[SPEAKER_11]: He just needs to run out and get it, and she denies that.
[SPEAKER_11]: says you should have had that ready that is and then he indicates my son says that the kid was very very upset and that the teacher was saying okay you have your homework and you have you and there was an atmosphere of perhaps
[SPEAKER_11]: Highlighting everyone else having homework, shaming this kid that didn't have his homework.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I don't know.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think I lean on the side of the kid.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think let him pop outside.
[SPEAKER_11]: If he did it, and it's in his locker, and he just was a momentary oversight.
[SPEAKER_11]: As someone who backs teachers all the time, I'm kind of leaning towards team kid on that.
[SPEAKER_08]: what's why are you team teacher outside of the shaman i don't think the shaman it should be there but i think it's spiritual leader yeah there was a shaman in the classroom well i think it's you you teach that kid responsibility and prepare for class and he did not come to class prepared oh my god my god yeah but he came to school prepared and did that teacher ever have a day where she or he or it didn't have a mistake people make mistakes
[SPEAKER_07]: What?
[SPEAKER_07]: I'd like to know the track record of the kid.
[SPEAKER_11]: Does he always believe himself in the locker?
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't know that.
[SPEAKER_11]: That I don't have the answer to.
[SPEAKER_11]: I know the kid is very concerned about his performance like Michael is, and that's it.
[SPEAKER_11]: But I thought, you know, it was just the interesting that I like it so much, especially the empathy chip.
[SPEAKER_08]: If they're at the age where they have stuff in a locker and they're going back and forth to different classrooms and you just forget to grab your homework, it's absolutely acceptable to get a second chance on that.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think and especially the fact that if anything was done to point out that he messed up.
[SPEAKER_08]: that's really not okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: But as far as that, but as far as the main situation, where I a teacher, I would try to be empathetic enough to let them go grab it.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's not like they're trying to dash it off while they're out leaving the classroom.
[SPEAKER_08]: The stuff is done.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's in the school.
[SPEAKER_08]: He just needs to grab it.
[SPEAKER_11]: So I find that, you know, especially if you're just around the corner, I mean, that technically means you have done the job.
[SPEAKER_11]: You've done your work.
[SPEAKER_11]: I can't do my work, so yeah, that's that's that.
[SPEAKER_11]: So be aware of the fact that there are some meanings out there and I think that was a meaning and you know, my kids got a little empathy and I think that's very sweet that he did that but be aware, take your teachers can be difficult.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's what
[SPEAKER_08]: I took a meeting with one of Julia's teachers in elementary school with Carrie and we came home and Julia said how to go I said you're just gonna have to put up with it because she's a bitch and she was she was not even listening to reason and I also I hate the notion of the fact that a teacher would take the job to have some sort of power or control issue But that's what I saw there.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, I took the boss
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, with the Catherine's first great teacher way way back when I'd still like to say hi, my Anyway, thank you.
[SPEAKER_11]: We'll be Robert at one of those.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, oh my god.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh wow.
[SPEAKER_11]: I said carry don't we need another parent teacher conference with her and she was super nice as well Nice and I need to all right stop it.

[SPEAKER_11]: Hey, I like that some beautiful video.
[SPEAKER_02]: Jerry.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, my goodness.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, why you keep pointing at me, I don't know, uh, what do you, what do you have for me?
[SPEAKER_08]: Because when you do that, it makes me think you're not hearing what I'm playing.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, I just, that was just, that was just rehearsing my cue seeing if I can do it better.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, Mike, um, AI is something again.
[SPEAKER_08]: Isn't it everyone's doing it?
[SPEAKER_08]: This is the first one that flips me out a little bit because it's a base of it.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's kind of weird.
[SPEAKER_08]: This is an AI egg telling you how to cook an egg.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm an egg and today I'll show you how to cook me correctly.
[SPEAKER_06]: Which is kind of weird because I'm literally the egg.
[SPEAKER_06]: First you put me in cold water.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's not terrible.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's actually kind of relaxing.
[SPEAKER_06]: Like a little spa moment before anything dramatic happens.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, I'm in the water now.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's getting a little warmer, but I think everything's going to be wrong.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, you took him out.
[SPEAKER_08]: But don't you see the sort of almost cannibalism nature of that?
[SPEAKER_08]: Can you bring it up on one time?
[SPEAKER_06]: Here's the egg first.
[SPEAKER_06]: I can handle warm.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's boiling now.
[SPEAKER_08]: So rough way to go, my people are people.
[SPEAKER_08]: So why should it be that I hate these people more than anyone else?
[SPEAKER_08]: We've been, we've been in a genuine cold snap and winter weather advisory for almost a week here.
[SPEAKER_08]: And here too, cold, and it's been over a decade.
[SPEAKER_08]: And how do they make it better in New York City?
[SPEAKER_08]: They organize a huge snowball fight.
[SPEAKER_08]: I hate these.
[SPEAKER_08]: People in Brooklyn are making the most of a monster storm across the US.
[SPEAKER_08]: Why do you hit this wrong because it's outdoors?
[SPEAKER_11]: Why can't you tell the people, I hate this.
[SPEAKER_11]: Good, thank you.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think we all need to tell the world for it.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'd like this, and to remember, you know, we're all communities.
[SPEAKER_04]: I would like to look out for each other in the house.
[SPEAKER_11]: To both of you.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: All right.
[SPEAKER_11]: Stop being old.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, wait.
[SPEAKER_11]: I just got in there.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's beautiful.
[SPEAKER_08]: It was awesome.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's people getting together and having a group snowball fight, what could be more fun than that?
[SPEAKER_11]: What's the wrong with you, too?
[SPEAKER_08]: They should be at work.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_08]: And also what about the injuries?
[SPEAKER_08]: What?
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: What about the injuries of a snowball to the face?
[SPEAKER_08]: That was not a light-fluffy snowman.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, come on.
[SPEAKER_11]: Let people be people.
[SPEAKER_11]: Let them be grown-ups.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's why I like Vegas so much.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, they're too old to be out there doing that.
[SPEAKER_11]: Really.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think a Las Vegas snowball fight might be pretty good.
[SPEAKER_11]: You have to bring the snow in, but if I was driving through and I was in my car and I didn't have, you know, because look, I'm not young enough to get out there and do it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Let's look up the word fall risk.
[SPEAKER_11]: But here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_11]: Hit him in the hip.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'd love watching it.
[SPEAKER_11]: It would be super fun.
[SPEAKER_11]: If they crack my windshield, it would be a totally different.
[SPEAKER_08]: Also, if you look back in, it lacked organization.
[SPEAKER_11]: I wasn't there years ago years ago is much younger I was probably a teenager and you know we would have spontaneous snowball fights and then I'd look at the kids with a lot smaller than me and I'd say you're going to cry you're going to cry you're going to cry like a really story and then I got really badly a ruffy really beat the crap out of me after that how long were you stuck with that pole oh it was terrible it was terrible I said and I've
[SPEAKER_11]: and the fight.
[SPEAKER_08]: All right, let's close with this Mike.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_08]: Cops get called to a bank because of a broken window.
[SPEAKER_08]: And it requires investigation.
[SPEAKER_08]: You certainly don't want to have a bank with a broken window.
[SPEAKER_05]: Of course.
[SPEAKER_05]: You want to lock your head on your head on your head.
[SPEAKER_08]: So he's actually going into the bank.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's going into the bank.
[SPEAKER_06]: So just to heads off, you know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_10]: And there's a huge deal in the bank.
[SPEAKER_11]: Poor thing, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it out, I'm letting it
[SPEAKER_11]: But a big, but a pussy.
[SPEAKER_11]: You waited all week for that.
[SPEAKER_08]: How long have you sit?
[SPEAKER_11]: Just tell me how long you'd be sitting on that one.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm curious, come on now.
[SPEAKER_08]: Think Tuesday.
[SPEAKER_11]: There we go, I'm here with you.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's been a smile.
