• 0:02
  Speaker 1: It's one more thing.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: I'm one more thing.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: There's an app for that.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: I was getting so angry at my new microwave last night.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: But before that, this, oh, just a little fun nugget.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I go to the gym.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: I hear, Hey, thank you so much. I'm trying to
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: go to the gym as much as possible. Okay, And
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: the people that I work out with, I wouldn't consider
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: them friends. They're I see them daily, but their acquaintances,
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: you know, we would we wouldn't make kind of like
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: insulting jokes to each other. This chick the other day
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: comes up to me and in front of the entire class, goes, damn, Katie,
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: your boobs look like they're about to explode. Wow, And
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: I went, yeah, I'm aware, And then she doubled down
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: and said, no, like really, I'm having trouble making eye
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: contact with you. They're just they're they're out of control. Well,
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: so what the hell I swear to all that is
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: holy as a guy, I don't know, is this the
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: sort of thing that women ever say to each other?
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know this.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you're good friends, it is probabah.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, I could see myself joking around if one
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: of my friends was pregnant, and that I'd say, well,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: I can see the boobs are about to explode. One
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: because I've been there. Two I'm close to you. But
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, for starters, my coaches jaw almost fell off
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: of her face because it was loud enough for her
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: to hear it. And my dad was standing like.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: That's a jackass right there. So I'm ready to diagnose
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: a clear case of jack assidy. Was she angry?
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Did she want you to do something about it?
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: So she was threatened?
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: I don't, I don't know. I'm I'm trying to figure
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: out what it is about being pregnant that makes people
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: think like, oh, I'm just gonna say the dumbest thing
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: that I can. I've been told that my beer belly's
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: coming in nicely, so I I don't.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I get it?
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, hilarious, souh. Anyway, just a psa that if you
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: know somebody pregnant and you don't know them that, well,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: just shut up.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Let them bring it up. Yes, it's gonna come up
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: at all perfect Yeah.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, boy. I hate the idea of crossing boundaries like that.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I'm just mortified by the very idea of it.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I I reacted playfully because I'm not gonna
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: I don't have the energy for that kind of drama.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: But it was the back of my mind was going,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: what the fuck?
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: The dad being so close by is definitely an added
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: level of uncomfortable because nobody wants that.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: No.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: See, I'm just the opposite.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: I'm extra sensitive and make sure that I don't say
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: anything bad.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: You know I do too.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: But for some reason, man, you you get pregnant and
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: everybody's like, here I come with the comments.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: It's funny. I wouldn't worry about the dad thing so much.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, pregnant wife and raised a child and the.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Rest of touch. I'm not talking about some dad's daughter's
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: pregnant boob. Somebody's boobs in front of their dad, well,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna talk about them period.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: But yeah, they address you first.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: What do you think of my boobs?
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: For instance, they're about to explode?
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Eh, you know big they are? Okay if I've gotta yeah, yeah, craziness.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: So let's take away. We don't make any comments on
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: two pregnant people about their pregnancies.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, you can ask how they're doing and all that,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: but like body comments, yeah, I know everything's changing and
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: it's crazy.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So my microwave put on me a week ago
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: and then I went through a whole weekend without a microwave,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: and I didn't realize how much I used the microwave
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: until I didn't have it, Just like heating up a
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: cup of coffee that's on a little cold or whatever
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the heck it is. And it's annoying not having a microwave.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: So I got a new one, did a little research
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: on chat, GPT and whatever. Like that fancy microwave that
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Panasonic makes. It's a combo air fryer microwave thingy. It's
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: supposed to be really great, but it did mention in
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: all the reviews that while it is fantastic, it's got
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: a bit of a learning curve on the user interface.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I am a big UI guy. I think that's one
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: of the biggest deficits we've got in America right now.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: And if you're good at UI urinary infection user interface.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: People who are in UI, I mean, you can make
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: a ton of money if you're good at it. Getting
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: hired by Tesla or Apple or whoever it's this. We've
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: always We've talked about this in the past with engineers
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Joe and I have in the radio business. They talk
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: an engineer speak, and like computer experts, they talk in
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: computer They don't talk away about like they can't look
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: at things the way somebody who just sat down at
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: this for the first time and has never looked at it.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: They don't have the ability to see it through that lens.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: People that are really good at UI can That's one
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: of the reasons apples so good. They must have really
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: great Maybe Steve Jobs was just a natural UI genius
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: to understand how like a person who's never touched this
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: before would think about it as opposed to having to
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: go through anyway. So Panasonic did a horrible job on
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: this microwave. And I'm not good at this sort of
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: thing to start with. But it's just the menu on
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: this thing to try to figure out, just to like,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I just want to heat up this coffee for thirty seconds.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: That should to me, that should be intuitively. You could
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: walk up to it I never seen it before in
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: your life and figure it out. It should be designed
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: that way. Yeah, you shouldn't need to read any instructions
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: to heat something up for thirty seconds in my opinion,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: But yeah.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Clearly because I've got similar devices and they don't have
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: that problem. You got a little tab this is micro right,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: or you know, you can just hit plus thirty and
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: it starts.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: This one had has so many different screens and knobs
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: and things that you've got to do to do everything,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: and it's really annoying. But what it's suggests is the app.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: You download the app and you do everything from your phone,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: And isn't that obviously a data grab? Isn't that the
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: whole reason they want you to do it is that
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I'm sure the agreement when I click on I agree
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: is and we get to look at every keystroke on
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: everything you ever do for the rest of your life,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: so that you can heat up your coffee from your phone.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: That's why Nest exists and ring exists. All of that
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: stuff is a data grab.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: So does this thing not have like a thirty second button?
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: No, No, it doesn't have any easy thing like that.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: But the main thing was that I kept running into
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and I had my son come down because he's better
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: at this sort of stuff. It's like, can you figure
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: out how to turn this thing off and open the door.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: It wouldn't let you, well, originally, it wouldn't let you
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: open the door, like a lot of microwaves until it's off,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: because you don't want it open with microwaving your your
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: body or and I would get it started, and I couldn't.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Figure I would get it started, and I couldn't figure
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: out how to turn the damn thing off.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Most micro if you open the door, it turns it off. Yeah,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: so that's how I would turn That's why I turn
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: off lots of micros. I just said it to whatever.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Five minutes. When I think it's been long enough, I
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: opened the door, and I take out my coffee and
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: drink it.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: I like to try to open it right before the
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: buzzer goes.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Off because I hate the dings. That's one of the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: reasons that I do it that way. I don't like
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: hearing all the dings. But this thing, I couldn't. You
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: couldn't open the door until it's timed out its entire thing,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and I haven't had to keep on plugging it to
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: get to able to get the door open. So I'd
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: pull it out to the wall and unplug it so
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: it'd be off. So I could open the door this.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: This thing and you had to call your offspring down.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Oh do I turn this off?
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: So he figured out some way, and I don't know
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: how he did this. Were microwaving something to heat it up,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: and I was say, I'm gonna unplug it to try
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: it because it's been heat and running for a long time.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna plug. He said, no, I think if you
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: do this, and he opened the door and it's still running.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: The microwave is still microwaving with the door open.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: I have a lot.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Then I unplugged it that I probably have cancer.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Now is there something There's got to be something wrong
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: with it.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: If that's something wrong with me, I'm sure it's operator error.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: But wow, I've never heard of a microwave that continues
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: to run with the doors at the door.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: There's something wrong. I felt a tuber growing on my
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: brain or.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Was it doing another one of its functions.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: That'd be a tumor not a tuber?
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Huh, Like it was doing air fry.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: It almost had to be set on convention or air fry,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: and I had it completely wrong. But or convection? Is
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: that what it is?
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Convention or a convention?
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: In case you want to meet your colleagues in the oven.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Yes, I I'm a the reason I like Tesla and Apple.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I think everything should be intuitive. It's obvious the way
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: you do this, you just walk up to it. I've
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: never looked at any instructions on Apple. It just I
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: can open the computer, I can do whatever I want,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: all that sort of stuff. But other products, man, they
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: want you to read a book and go on YouTube
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: and all kinds of things, just to do the simplest tasks.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, and lately I had high, high hopes that
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: AI would take care of this. Maybe it will soon,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: but asking, hey, I can't do this on my computer,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: how should I do it? And it'll say, oh, that's easy.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Just go to file, click on that, then open function
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: and you click on file. There's no effing function anywhere
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: that was updated six years ago, or six months ago
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: or six minutes ago. But yeah, it's impossible to get
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: accurate up to date based on your operating system instructions.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Well, I broke out the manual, which I almost never do.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I'm just a big I'm a big. If I can't
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: figure it out, I'm taking it back. I want it
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: to be stupid simple everything I use, and most of
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: that's why by apples come. But I actually broke out
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: the manual, and this has happened in recent times. I
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: think I don't know exactly if it's to save money.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: It's almost entirely pictures with no words. I guess that
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: way they can send it to every country with one
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: manual without having to have English, German, friends, Spanish, whatever.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I guess it's cheaper. But you can't figure out what's
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: going on from the pictures, or they're trying to drive
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: me to the app. They're hoping it's frustrating enough that
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: I download the app and then bingo, then they've really
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: made their money. They've made more money than I spent
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: on the than the microwave, probably immediately when I download
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: the app.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Almost certainly, the most frustrating things for me is when
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: I go to a manual to try to figure out
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: something and there's an fing QR code.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: They want you to go to the website because they
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: don't want to print and distribute manuals, which I get it.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, economically speaking, it's no brainer. But I like
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: the papers just age because you can you can see
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: it and open it and and forth there.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's much better. And then sometimes a
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: QR code takes you to a you gotta log in
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: thing because again they want you dialed into their system.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not to have a freaking app to heat something
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: up for a minute, to eat up a pop tart.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I'm just not.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Oh you know what, I it was a similar topic.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: This could cause me to go on, like if I
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: ever get diagnosed, god forbid, with a dread disease and
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: I've only got a few weeks left, I'm going to
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: go on a tour of vengeance taking out my enemies.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: That's my plan. Anyway. It's good to have a plan,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: and the one of the groups of people I will
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: take out. This is a new thing, you go on.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: What was I looking at the other day, I can't remember.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Is I do photography for fun. I'm getting pictures like
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: blown up and put on the wall, and it's super common.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Now give us your give us your email address, and
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: we'll give you twenty percent off your first order. And
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: I think, oh, great, okay, cool, Yeah, I'll do that.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: I'll give them my usual email address and that I
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: use for this sort of thing, and no problem. I'll
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: go and hunt down the coupon code and you fill
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: it out, and they say, yep, we're almost there. Just
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: give us your text number and right, you can have
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: twenty percent off. You motherfuckers. This is fraud, it's deception.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: You lied to me. Our relationship is over, says me,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: and I'm gone.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I had a similar thing a couple of different
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: times with online tests for things health things free online
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: and it looks like a legit site. You do the
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: whole thing, takes like fifteen minutes, and then if you
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: want your results, all you got to do is fill in,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: you know, give us your email and your ven and
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: we'll send you the results. Screw you and your free
• 12:34

• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, made an enemy for life. How do they not
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: realize that? I think they probably will?
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Are there enough soft heads? Go ahead and think, ah
