• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Things that must go on the radio. From Hell Show.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: These are things that are bugging you, bub. Things that
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: are bugging you and you want them to go away.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: You can't stand them anymore, can you, boobie? So you say,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: I know what I'll do. These things are bugging me
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: so much. I will send my gripe to Radio From Hell.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: And do it. You make an email. You say, here's
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: what's bugging me. Here's what must go. You send it
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: to RadioFromHell at x96. com. Make sure you put must go
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: in the subject line. And if we read it on
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: the air, maybe it'll make you feel better. And sometimes
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: these things do magically disappear from people's lives when we
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: read them. Would you like to begin, Kerry? I can. Okay, please.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Let's see. If you're a true crime broadcast and we
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: have to hear you say police every third sentence, learn
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: to enunciate.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: It's police.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Not police?
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Not police.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Not police. And if you use AI to replace a
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: name you originally mistakenly pronounced, do a better job recording
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the replacement words so it doesn't sound like, in this area.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Bad editing.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: This one from Tristan. My neighbors ride to work at
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: 3 a.m. Honking the horn on their car.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Must go.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: It happens every day. Use your phone like a normal
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: person or knock on their door. You know you're waking
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: up half the neighborhood by honking, you inconsiderate bulb. Let's
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: see this one from Clark. A few things that must go.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: When someone adds unnecessary words when speaking, the following are examples.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I need to reheat my food again.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I probably maybe will go.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Probably maybe.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Or when telling a story, they say, I said to her,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I said.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: When he goes, I go. Learn to speak.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: The person that feels like they have to constantly interrupt
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: everyone around them during a conversation, but like they are
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: important and have the most interesting comment to share, but
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: what comes out of their mouth is a dud. Learn manners.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Can't wait to speak. Also, Mike Lee and his comments
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: can go.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Let's see.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: This one I think is an attack on you, Nathan.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: What must go is when people complain about how hard
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: it is to manage streaming services. We have so much
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: to choose from. Ten or 15 years ago, we didn't
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: have access to everything. Sure, you could buy everything on cable,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: but until DVR, you had to record it on VHS
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: or watch it live. This is especially true for sports. Yes,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: we are in a weird time of agreements getting untangled,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: but I remember having to listen to the Utes on
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the radio because they were not on the television.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: That's true. That's true.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Look at the glass half full. We have more to
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: watch on whatever device we want. Some effort so we
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: can watch whatever game I want, even living out of market.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: You know, and he's right.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: But they need to let you know where.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: So you can go there. Ahead of time. Exactly. Let's see.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I nominate QR codes in emails and newsletters that don't
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: include a clickable link.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: What are you supposed to do with that?
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: How am I supposed to scan a QR code that's
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: on the screen of the same phone... That I'm using
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: to read the email.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Am I supposed to borrow a phone? Find a second device?
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Print out the email like it's 2005? QR codes are
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: great on posters, menus, and billboards, but on the email?
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Make it make sense. Thank you for coming to my
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: TED Talk. And finally, Gumby here. A fashion thing that
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: has been bugging the hell out of me. Women who
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: tuck a sweater or nice blouse into the front of
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: their pants and letting it hang out everywhere else. It
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: reminds me of my Uncle Stu on Sunday afternoon in
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: his Barkalanger with a hand tucked in front.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: It's the French tuck, Gumby. It's a fashion thing.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Uncle Stu was ahead of his time, Gumby. He knew
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the French tuck.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Is this an advertisement? Ventilation? My three-year-old grandson can
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: dress himself better. Tuck it or don't. All right.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I'll go next. I have one of my own, a
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: gripe of my own. This is what must go. Cups
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: and carafts that No matter how hard you try when
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: you pour them, they still dribble. You know, they dribble
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: out onto the counter. This is a case in point.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I like this. This is a little Yeti coffee thermos.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: It keeps the coffee very hot. But unless I pour
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: it just right, I get coffee dribbles all over the counter.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: And I had a coffee carafe that I finally just
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: threw away from a coffee pot, a glass one, that
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: no matter how I tried to pour it, it dribbled
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: coffee everywhere. Missed the cup and went out. So that
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: must go. I hate that. This one says, Good morning.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Feel free to use my name. This is Ashley of Austin.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: And my things that must go are being stuck in
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: a thankless dead-end job where your manager blatantly plays favorites.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Trying to find a new job and feeling like I
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: have the qualifications for many of the jobs I apply for,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: and yet I can't even get an interview. Also, on
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: a completely different note, cancer must go and not being
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: able to help the people you love who are affected
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: by it thank you ashley from austin uh this one
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: says good morning y'all from dustin the hatter you can
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: use my name many of you know me as the
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: resident hat guy around these parts however you may not
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: know that i work for the government in my day
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: job and i work as a groundskeeper my thing that
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: must go starts with a little setup imagine yourself cutting
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: and weed whipping a lawn it's a crisp fall morning
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: and you're running a weed whip around some tall grass
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: underneath trees, when suddenly you spot a corner of a
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: small green bag. Your body braces for what's coming next.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: It's too far or too late to do anything else. Congratulations,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: you've now struck a plastic bag full of dog crap.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's awful.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: If you're lucky and pull up in time, you'll just
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: have time to smell it for a little while. If, however,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: you are not reactive enough, you will be wearing this
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: mess for the duration of your shift, top to tail
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: and poop. On one particular hot summer morning, I was
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: unlucky enough to not be wearing a mask and got
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: a mouthful of somebody else's negligence. If you own dogs,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: clean up after them. That includes throwing their leavings away
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: in a trash can. Hiding your problems under a bushel
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean they go away. It means that someone else
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: has to deal with them. A life lesson I think
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: we can all learn from. Thank you for your attention
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: and help with this problem. And finally this. Hello, lords.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Please use my name, CJ. I have some theater things
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: that must go. Yes. When a show says it starts
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: at 7 or 7.30, this is the start time, not
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: the arrival time. Please arrive a little bit early to
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: buy your concessions and find your seat. Please open your
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: wrappers before the show starts, or if you forget to
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: do it really fast, sitting there thinking you're quietly opening
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: a wrapper for three minutes isn't as sneaky as you think. Finally,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: support small theater. Utah has a very rich community theater scene.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: It's not just... Hail, please support the little guys. That
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: being said, come see Carrie opening the 15th and running
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: until August 25th with Mad King Productions. Thanks for letting
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: me listen. Gina?
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: My front yard Halloween decoration thing that must go. If
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: you're going to have a fake graveyard... Don't just haphazardly
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: put little tombstones all over.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Make it look like a graveyard. Have them separated nicely.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Leave enough space that an actual body could be.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: You just can't just throw headstones around willy-nilly.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Katie agrees with me.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Haven't you ever seen old graveyards there like that?
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: No, there is no thought. They just stick them there.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: I want it planned out. Thought. Make it look like
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: a real graveyard. Uh, let's see.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: Ty from West Valley says, my thing that must go
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: is after cleaning the kitchen yesterday, waking up to see
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: my dog had gone through the garbage and spread it
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: all over said kitchen.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: It's six o'clock in the morning already. That dog ain't right.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Thank you for letting me.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Listen, lords.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: Inserting um or uh into written communications. Don't use those
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: words when writing emails or frankly, anytime.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Good morning, lords.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: Please don't use my name. My things that must go
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: are mean girls. My daughter is going through it right now.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: ED ads and commercials. While I support self-care, I don't
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: need to hear it on the hour every hour, every
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: break on every podcast I listen to. And a side note,
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: my kids randomly walk around my home saying, this has
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: been Fartin' Around with Carrie Bill and Gina on X96.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Thank you for letting me listen.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Things that must go on the radio.
