0:03

0:06
Speaker 1: the best time to have kids is. Oh gosh, you know,
0:09
Speaker 1: I got each I got your young parents over here
0:12
Speaker 1: who started when they were really young, and yeah, they're gonna,
0:15
Speaker 1: you know, be on their own sooner than people who

0:22
Speaker 1: they got to enjoy their twenties zone and do that thing.
0:24
Speaker 1: So you know what I mean. There's there's pros and
0:25
Speaker 1: cons of both sides, that hundred percent right. But I'm
0:28
Speaker 1: here to talk about the benefits of being a quote
0:30
Speaker 1: older mom.
0:31
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, I can't wait to hear what an older
0:33
Speaker 2: mom even entails.
0:35
Speaker 1: Like what's the age range for that? I mean there's
0:37
Speaker 1: no set. Okay, what's called it? Thirty five? Okay, when
0:41
Speaker 1: did you have your first kid? You were? How old?
0:43
Speaker 1: U thirty three? I want to say, okay, because I was.
0:47
Speaker 1: I had just had brigs right before I turned thirty five,
0:50
Speaker 1: So I mean, I would just say, if you're starting
0:52
Speaker 1: in your thirties, that's like later than sooner. Right, You're
0:56
Speaker 1: you're You're not an old mom. I'm not saying that.
0:58
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that's that's definitely waiting. Yeah, right, A
1:01
Speaker 1: lot of people like he's we're in college still, and
1:04
Speaker 1: I had friends popping kids out. You know.
1:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's amazing to me how many of my friends
1:08
Speaker 2: from high school when they married their high school sweethearts.
1:11
Speaker 2: We both kind of come from small towns.
1:13
Speaker 1: And people love doing that. I have kids that are
1:16
Speaker 1: I mean, they only have a couple of years left
1:18
Speaker 1: in their graduating. I know, it's wild. And you got
1:20
Speaker 1: the other friends who are just getting started, but they
1:22
Speaker 1: say the best reasons to be an older mom are well,
1:25
Speaker 1: for one, you make the most of the moments. You know,
1:28
Speaker 1: you got a few years of adulthood under belt. You
1:30
Speaker 1: kind of under your belt. You kind of realize that
1:32
Speaker 1: years go by quickly. Now they only go by quicker
1:35
Speaker 1: and I so you got to cherish it.
1:37
Speaker 2: How I would have been as a mom in my twenties,
1:39
Speaker 2: of course, it's something that I can't even wrap my
1:42
Speaker 2: head around because that was a different life stage for me, clearly.
1:46
Speaker 1: But but like for anybody, you figure like once you
1:49
Speaker 1: have the kid, things would it would have been different.
1:51
Speaker 2: But what I do know about getting older is just
1:55
Speaker 2: you have that in your mindset no matter what. You
1:58
Speaker 2: don't have kids, bike, but don't you all so like
2:00
Speaker 2: the older you get, you just focus on the important things.
2:04
Speaker 2: It's amazing to me when you get into your thirties
2:06
Speaker 2: forties and that's all that you're.
2:07
Speaker 1: Paying attention to.
2:08
Speaker 2: So if you have kids at that point, that's what
2:09
Speaker 2: you're gonna spend your focus on.
2:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they say being an older mom, you're going
2:13
Speaker 1: to take a more relaxed approach. Yeah, I guess you
2:17
Speaker 1: don't sweat the small stuff for sure. Kind of been there,
2:19
Speaker 1: done that. That's the other thing too, you have you've
2:22
Speaker 1: been there, done that, so you're able to just focus
2:24
Speaker 1: on your kid without that regret of like, oh, I'm
2:27
Speaker 1: twenty two and all my friends are going to the
2:29
Speaker 1: club and I'm at home with a baby, like I
2:31
Speaker 1: wish I could do, And that's like natural, you know,
2:34
Speaker 1: I wouldn't shame somebody for feeling that way. Of course, Yeah,
2:37
Speaker 1: you love your baby and you want to be there,
2:39
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you can missing out. You're
2:41
Speaker 1: missing out on certain things.
2:42
Speaker 2: But again, you are in that and you see them
2:45
Speaker 2: all over Instagram and TikTok anymore of when you're in
2:49
Speaker 2: your mom era, or parenting era. That's just your bubble
2:52
Speaker 2: and nothing else really truly matters, and it is. It's amazing.
2:56
Speaker 2: Like I could be here talking to you about work.
2:58
Speaker 2: As soon as I get home, it's like, no, well
3:00
Speaker 2: it's about the kids.
3:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's great. Yeah, you know, like I go
3:04
Speaker 1: home and all I think about his work is that it. Yeah,
3:07
Speaker 1: I just can't. My wife's like, let it go, ho, honey,
3:12
Speaker 1: just can we just have dinner? Stop? And then finally,
3:17
Speaker 1: I think this one's kind of one of the biggest ones.
3:19
Speaker 1: Is ideally anyway you'd have fewer stresses from finances. Yeah, yeah,
3:25
Speaker 1: I mean ideally, yes, right then, it's not in every case.
3:29
Speaker 1: The older you get, the more money you make. Isn't
3:30
Speaker 1: always the situation, but usually you're at least more established
3:34
Speaker 1: in a career, you know, early on. I think of
3:36
Speaker 1: the struggles I, along with everybody else in their early twenties,
3:40
Speaker 1: were having, like throwing a kid in there. I mean,
3:42
Speaker 1: you figure it out, you do, and I know a
3:44
Speaker 1: lot of people who did. But it would be a
3:46
Speaker 1: lot easier if you just kind of knew where you
3:48
Speaker 1: were at. Your ob tab would have been a daycare tab. Bike.
3:50
Speaker 1: That's pretty much going to be the difference. Oh, b
3:53
Speaker 1: you mean Old Broadway. I think you meant OBG, I
3:57
Speaker 1: am did you is that what you thought? I don't
4:01
Speaker 1: think they provide those services. No, the Old Broadway they
4:04
Speaker 1: do have some cheap beers on Friday though, or they did?
4:07
Speaker 1: They did? Do they still?
4:09
Speaker 2: You know, I'm sure they do. I know you still
4:11
Speaker 2: go on Friday great specials. But I I will say
4:15
Speaker 2: that I'm glad of the way I went about it. Yeah,
4:18
Speaker 2: but again, I have a lot of friends that are
4:19
Speaker 2: also in that same stage of they're getting to that
4:22
Speaker 2: point where, oh my gosh, we don't have to create
4:25
Speaker 2: have babysitters all the time, you know, because that's my
4:27
Speaker 2: big thing right now.
4:28
Speaker 1: Sorry, we can't because I can't find a babysitter. Yeah, right,
4:32
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah.
4:33
Speaker 2: And then also I go, am I really going to
4:35
Speaker 2: spend a babysitter plus go out, plus do this one?
4:37
Speaker 1: I could just be at home with my kids and
4:39
Speaker 1: have just as much fun. Yeah, it feels like it
4:42
Speaker 1: feels like Yeah, and we have an add a kid yet,
4:44
Speaker 1: And if we do have a kid, I would be
4:46
Speaker 1: getting into the older dad range. I'm thirty three of
4:49
Speaker 1: Jesus thirty four as of last week brutal. My wife's
4:52
Speaker 1: thirty two, so, you know, but it feels right like
4:55
Speaker 1: I'm glad we didn't right away. You know, did a
4:58
Speaker 1: lot of things, Sure do I I had a lot
5:00
Speaker 1: of things about my twenties. Yeah, but now I don't
5:03
Speaker 1: think that's one of them, you know, Yeah, yeah, I
5:05
Speaker 1: think it's I think it's good.
5:07
Speaker 2: So you're thinking that that's the next phase for you?
5:10
Speaker 2: Are you in that next era?
5:12
Speaker 1: I'll take if I did have a kid, that would
5:14
Speaker 1: be in the future, not in the I can't go
5:16
Speaker 1: back in time, So I'm saying thank you for clarifying pack.
5:18
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure what you meant. Yeah, don't have a
5:22
Speaker 1: time machine, Amanda.
5:23
Speaker 2: I was just wondering if we were putting something down
5:25
Speaker 2: and I was supposed to be picking it up.
5:27
Speaker 1: What am I supposed to Like? Are you supposed to
5:28
Speaker 1: announce when you're thinking about having a bit? You know
5:30
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like, I'll just I'll let you know
5:32
Speaker 1: if we're ever having a baby, Okay, I'll tell you
5:33
Speaker 1: just Yeah. I know you keep baiting me to say
5:36
Speaker 1: I'm we're officially getting busy thinking without any sort of precautions,
5:43
Speaker 1: in hopes of conceiving a child. So I'll put it
5:48
Speaker 1: on Facebook if I ever decide that Amanda came. We've
5:53
Speaker 1: eliminated all We've eliminated all our roadblocks. It's anything goes now. Oh.
6:02
Speaker 2: I mean, you do get asked a lot, which is
6:04
Speaker 2: also a very uncomfortable thing to happen, Like, yeah, such
6:09
Speaker 2: a thing like you and I we can get away
6:12
Speaker 2: with that because we're best friends.
6:13
Speaker 1: But for somebody it is amazing too. How many people
6:16
Speaker 1: will ask I'd say, you're a good acquaintance. I'd chill out,
6:20
Speaker 1: I'm best friends. I mean we're co workers. Yeah, okay,
6:29
Speaker 1: I got nothing left. What were you saying? Oh? Yeah,
6:32
Speaker 1: the other Sorry? Just how many people asked you? We'll
6:37
Speaker 1: ask you, hey, are you Are you guys ready to
6:39
Speaker 1: have kids? Are you guys in the stats? Just like whoa?
6:42
Speaker 1: I know, don't we all know by now? And thankfully
6:44
Speaker 1: it's not the case. But what if? What if we
6:46
Speaker 1: are desperately trying for years? You know? What if? Again?
6:50
Speaker 2: And if I knew anything like that or had any
6:53
Speaker 2: of those in that information, I would never be saying
6:56
Speaker 2: it to you.
6:56
Speaker 1: I know it would. It would just kill you on
6:58
Speaker 1: the inside. So I definitely feel for people on their
7:00
Speaker 1: situations totally. That's in the morning, Big ninety eight point seven. Hey,
7:05
Speaker 1: what's a Disney movie with the Mermaid Ariel? Oh yeah, area,
7:09
Speaker 1: but little Mermaid, that's what it is. Yeah, why I
7:13
Speaker 1: just needed something because I want to tell you about
7:16
Speaker 1: the first ever in the world. This is the first
7:18
Speaker 1: of it's kind in the world underwater cemetery exists.
7:24
Speaker 2: Have you heard about this taking a dark twist? What
7:27
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess an underwater cemetery. There's a lot
7:29
Speaker 2: of things that die. So isn't that the bottom of
7:32
Speaker 2: the ocean. Isn't that kind of a cemetery.
7:35
Speaker 1: In a way? I mean, but this so specifically designed
7:38
Speaker 1: for humans. And actually it's off the coast of Miami
7:41
Speaker 1: down in Florida right now that currently there are fifteen
7:44
Speaker 1: hundred bodies laid to rest, thousands more who've already reserved
7:48
Speaker 1: their spots.
7:49
Speaker 2: No, you can't, that's not They could wash around the
7:54
Speaker 2: Amanda's got it all figured out.
7:56
Speaker 1: I don't think the architects of the underwater cemetery have
7:59
Speaker 1: considered that this is Oh yeah, here's why I was asking.
8:04
Speaker 1: I'm from See it sounds it actually sounds lovely. Now,
8:14
Speaker 1: are you kidding me, not what ursula is around? Well,
8:17
Speaker 1: it's another concern.
8:18
Speaker 3: I know.
8:19
Speaker 1: Or those eels. Are you kidding me? That's what you're
8:22
Speaker 1: wried about. I don't even want to think about what's
8:24
Speaker 1: going on the bottom of the ocean. Sounds like a
8:27
Speaker 1: grave some bodies for sure. Now my question is who's
8:32
Speaker 1: allowed to sell this? You know, because it's not you
8:35
Speaker 1: have to pay money. It's the bottom of the ocean,
8:37
Speaker 1: like who owns that real estate? And okay, so can
8:40
Speaker 1: you pay me?
8:42
Speaker 2: This sounds so morbid, because can you give me fifteen
8:44
Speaker 2: hundred dollars and I'll take.
8:46
Speaker 1: The body and go bury it in the ocean? Yeah,
8:50
Speaker 1: there you go, trust me, bro, it's down there. Okay.
8:53
Speaker 1: We got a nice headstone and everything with Roses purple
8:57
Speaker 1: heart or no blue heart. Yeah, Rose was awarded a
9:01
Speaker 1: purple heart for her bravery in World War One. No
9:03
Speaker 1: the blue heart, you know, the heart of the ocean.
9:06
Speaker 1: I know what you're talking about, purple heart. And I
9:09
Speaker 1: was imagining Rose fighting in a war, although for her
9:12
Speaker 1: it'd probably be more like Spanish for some civil war.
9:17
Speaker 2: Even so, like to be fair, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack is
9:20
Speaker 2: a part of this, So you could get buried with him.
9:23
Speaker 1: I don't think that counts. I think he's that crazy.
9:27
Speaker 1: I think he is down there somewhere. Not that that
9:28
Speaker 1: was Was that a real person? Are we? Are we
9:31
Speaker 1: based in that movie? Probably within his last name jack
9:35
Speaker 1: ah O Lantern, it's probably Sparrow. Now this is interesting.
9:44
Speaker 1: I will say I do like this idea underwater cemetery
9:48
Speaker 1: more than an actual cemetery Jack Dawson Dawson's Creek, so
9:54
Speaker 1: you are all over all over. But I'm thinking, though,
9:56
Speaker 1: you know how I feel about cemeteries, right, like it's
9:58
Speaker 1: got to end at some point, know how you think
10:00
Speaker 1: about people who know me know my take on cemeteries,
10:05
Speaker 1: and that's they got to stop. We got we got
10:08
Speaker 1: to stop burying whole bodies, right, I mean just even locally,
10:12
Speaker 1: like down by Rose Creek golf course, Like there's a
10:14
Speaker 1: giant piece of land that's it's about one hundred years
10:18
Speaker 1: worth of bodies. But what about two hundred years from now,
10:22
Speaker 1: where are they all going to go? They'll figure it out,
10:25
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. We got to figure it out. Now,
10:26
Speaker 1: I'm saying, stop burying bodies Like that's why I want
10:30
Speaker 1: to get cremated like, I don't do you know, I
10:32
Speaker 1: don't want to get cremated. You don't know, well, not
10:35
Speaker 1: while you're living, well, dut, what is wrong with you?
10:39
Speaker 1: People are on their way to work right now wanting
10:41
Speaker 1: to hear this. Why you know I want you want
10:44
Speaker 1: to be cremated.
10:45
Speaker 2: It's just not my jam. I I'm just saying but now,
10:48
Speaker 2: and I also and I haven't really kind of had
10:51
Speaker 2: some thought about it.
10:52
Speaker 1: I don't really want to have an open casket unless no,
10:56
Speaker 1: the idea that is horrific to me. It's amazing that I,
11:00
Speaker 1: as a child out I had to go to a
11:02
Speaker 1: funeral home and witness like, you know, my grandpa is
11:05
Speaker 1: body laying there.
11:07
Speaker 2: But having you know, we both lost parents. I like
11:12
Speaker 2: that moment when you're there. It's like your last scene
11:15
Speaker 2: of your my mom. And I just want to remember
11:20
Speaker 2: that versus a cremation.
11:22
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's my stepdad wants to get cremated though,
11:25
Speaker 1: and it's I guess I would disagree on wanting that
11:27
Speaker 1: to be my last image. Well no, but just having
11:30
Speaker 1: that moment, I don't know. No, I mean teacher like
11:33
Speaker 1: I respect that of course doesn't sound like you. I'm
11:35
Speaker 1: just saying like, have you ever been to an old
11:37
Speaker 1: cemetery or gone around to see like the old headstones
11:40
Speaker 1: where nobody know, nobody's visiting, you know, Slappy McGee from
11:44
Speaker 1: eighteen fourteen. Sadly, I don't think it's happening so.
11:48
Speaker 2: Well, no, because when we go visit my mom, we
11:50
Speaker 2: go around and there's a lot of our relatives that
11:53
Speaker 2: are in this same small little cemetery, and it's like, hey,
11:56
Speaker 2: that's oh geez great.
11:58
Speaker 1: Not and look at all of the dead people. Yeah,
12:02
Speaker 1: oh good, as long as you're getting your little amusement
12:06
Speaker 1: out of IDUs. Now you're sayinguggesting that we just all
12:12
Speaker 1: go under the sea. Yeah, and I'm doing big air
12:14
Speaker 1: quotes here like you did earlier on the under this process.
12:17
Speaker 1: They're down there. I did Amanda in the morning, did
12:20
Speaker 1: ninety point seven, and now Amanda stills the seat. Let's see, well,
12:26
Speaker 1: yesterday did he offer new bail restrictions? Of course, if
12:29
Speaker 1: you weren't phoning along, he is in jail right now,
12:32
Speaker 1: and they denied his bond, and it was going to
12:35
Speaker 1: be his bail was like, hey, fifty million dollars, this
12:38
Speaker 1: is what I'm gonna do, And they denied that yesterday
12:41
Speaker 1: he said, okay, okay, not only will I pay that,
12:45
Speaker 1: but I will make sure that there are no female
12:47
Speaker 1: visitors at my home. They brought in this company that
12:51
Speaker 1: was going to be like managing who's coming and going
12:54
Speaker 1: from his home, and they were willing to offer up
12:56
Speaker 1: like the visitor's log on it.
12:58
Speaker 2: Reading these details, it was wild. He said, each night,
13:01
Speaker 2: I'll report to you guys who's been in my home.
13:04
Speaker 2: I will make sure that no electronics. He said he
13:06
Speaker 2: would give up internet, his phone, everything to get out
13:10
Speaker 2: of jail.
13:11
Speaker 1: Wow, how kind of him.
13:12
Speaker 2: And then the judge's like, there's witness intimidation, like you
13:16
Speaker 2: have other people that can still do this, and was
13:19
Speaker 2: going through some of these cases, they have all these
13:22
Speaker 2: phone records of him as soon as some of these
13:24
Speaker 2: people were subpoenaed that there were like fourteen phone calls
13:28
Speaker 2: going through this. I mean, there's so much against him
13:31
Speaker 2: right now, and he's just trying to play this. It's
13:34
Speaker 2: not me. It wasn't me. I have no idea what
13:36
Speaker 2: you're talking about. So unless he starts spitting out names
13:39
Speaker 2: and acting as though he had no idea that these
13:42
Speaker 2: people around him were doing this to these victims, I
13:45
Speaker 2: don't know how he's gonna.
13:46
Speaker 1: Get There's no way. He's not just like a bad guy,
13:48
Speaker 1: like doing bad things, but he's playing the part of
13:51
Speaker 1: like I don't say, like mobster, but like the intimidation
13:54
Speaker 1: part of it, where he's just yes, this is just evil,
13:57
Speaker 1: is what it is.
13:58
Speaker 2: Well, his attorney yesterday said that the jail that did
14:00
Speaker 2: he is in is notorious for poor conditions and violence,
14:03
Speaker 2: and it is not fit for pre trial detention, basically
14:06
Speaker 2: saying it's horrific and he needs to get out of there.
14:08
Speaker 2: And the judges said nope, He's going to remain in
14:11
Speaker 2: federal custody until his next hearing, which is October ninth.
14:14
Speaker 1: I don't see him getting out at all, really, I
14:16
Speaker 1: hope on In fact, those conditions sound just about right exactly.
14:19
Speaker 1: I know, and I keep forgetting that this is happening.
14:23
Speaker 1: The trailer for Ellen's Netflix comedy special was released yesterday.
14:27
Speaker 1: It's called Ellen for Your Approval, and I like this
14:32
Speaker 1: version of Ellen. Listen. Here's the problem.
14:33
Speaker 3: I'm a comedian who got a talk show, and I
14:36
Speaker 3: ended the show every day by saying, be kind to
14:38
Speaker 3: one another. Had I ended my show by saying, go
14:41
Speaker 3: thank yourselves? People would have been pleasantly surprised to find out.
14:46
Speaker 1: I'm kind that's a good joke. That's a good one.
14:50
Speaker 2: It is going to be streaming on September twenty fourth.
14:52
Speaker 2: Really kind of sad though once you you know, I
14:54
Speaker 2: haven't watched daytime television in a really long time.
14:57
Speaker 1: But Ellen was just a staple growing up. Absolutely loved her.
15:00
Speaker 1: But she's so alive though, so that's cool. Yeah, And
15:03
Speaker 1: I mean she made a lot of jokes.
15:04
Speaker 2: If you want to watch that full trailer, it's it's
15:06
Speaker 2: gonna be a good one.
15:07
Speaker 1: I think there for it, I kind of forget that
15:09
Speaker 1: she is funny, yes, Like I just know her. I
15:11
Speaker 1: just know she exists, you know, and I've heard her
15:14
Speaker 1: maybe even hosting some award shows. That's probably what I
15:17
Speaker 1: know her from the most. Probably. And they also voicing
15:19
Speaker 1: that fish Nemo, I was no finding Nemo's the movie name,
15:24
Speaker 1: the character Dorry. Thank you acting as though I don't know, Look,
15:30
Speaker 1: you're just trying to run me. I would have loved
15:34
Speaker 1: it if you didn't know. But you have your kids
15:35
Speaker 1: seen finding all of course. Oh yes, that's a good time.
15:38
Speaker 1: Was like for its time, like what mid two thousands,
15:41
Speaker 1: it's a really good looking movie. It's been around really
15:45
Speaker 1: and Taylor Swift shifting her focus as.
15:47
Speaker 2: To what is going to happen after the Era's tour
15:50
Speaker 2: and she is ready for a new era of her life.
15:52
Speaker 2: Those close to her say that her and Trap not
15:53
Speaker 2: only are really in love, they really are committed and
15:56
Speaker 2: serious about their future and have talked very openly with
16:00
Speaker 2: close friends about this next step.
16:02
Speaker 1: They also do want to get married, and.
16:06
Speaker 2: I guess I have felt that way, but there's a
16:08
Speaker 2: lot of people that think he's not ready or she's
16:10
Speaker 2: not ready, and they're gonna kind of wait it out.
16:12
Speaker 2: I don't know when it's gonna be, but you gotta
16:15
Speaker 2: think after her heiresstour wraps up in December, and this season.
16:19
Speaker 1: Do you think he's going to retire after this season? Well,
16:22
Speaker 1: the way it's going so far this year, he might
16:25
Speaker 1: not have a choice. He might retire for him but
16:31
Speaker 1: probably no, I don't know. He could. He could play
16:33
Speaker 1: one more year.
16:34
Speaker 2: One more year, and I guess it probably does depend
16:37
Speaker 2: on what this life looks like for these.
16:40
Speaker 1: Two, you know, like if they win another super Bowl
16:43
Speaker 1: like that seems like it could probably be a good
16:44
Speaker 1: way to go to go. Yes, but if they go really,
16:47
Speaker 1: really close, it's like, ah, give me one more. It's
16:49
Speaker 1: gonna be It's gonna be hard to say either way.
16:52
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see what happens. And when he
16:55
Speaker 1: gets down on one d out out, it'd be impressive.
17:05
Speaker 1: It would be hard to say no. His friends say
17:10
Speaker 1: he's talked about it, so there's a chance that trending.
17:16
Speaker 1: Now here's what you need to know.
17:18
Speaker 2: The International Brotherhood of Teamsters made a decision on the
17:21
Speaker 2: endorsement for presidency yesterday, and they made a big one.
17:25
Speaker 2: They said, we're supporting no one. They said, unfortunately, neither
17:28
Speaker 2: major candidate will be able to make any serious commitments
17:32
Speaker 2: to our union to ensure that the interests of working
17:35
Speaker 2: people are always put before big business.
17:38
Speaker 1: Well, I think we can all get down with that.
17:41
Speaker 1: I don't know much about the teamsterairs, but apparently the
17:47
Speaker 1: labor which is for everybody? Or why am I a
17:49
Speaker 1: part of the Teamsters? Are you h part of the union?
17:54
Speaker 1: But what what union?
17:56
Speaker 2: I mean the International Brothers Teamsters labor Union.
18:01
Speaker 1: I know there are unions, but it was just one
18:04
Speaker 1: big one. Maybe I'm a dumbboat.
18:07
Speaker 2: Yes, some expected the Federal Reserve here anownc yesterday afternoon
18:11
Speaker 2: that the FED was reducing the key interest rate by
18:13
Speaker 2: half a percentage point. With this drop, the federal funds
18:15
Speaker 2: rate will move to around four point eight percent. It's
18:18
Speaker 2: the lowest it's been since March and twenty twenty three.
18:20
Speaker 2: The FED also said yesterday expects more interest rate cuts
18:23
Speaker 2: by the end of the year. Mortgage rates did fall
18:25
Speaker 2: last week, in case you missed it, to six point
18:27
Speaker 2: one percent, which is a lowess they've been in September
18:31
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two.
18:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, what what I've read is that basically that the
18:35
Speaker 1: mortgage rates already went down anticipating this cut. This this
18:40
Speaker 1: rate cut so and from. And nobody really knows. Anybody
18:44
Speaker 1: who tells you they know what the interest rates are
18:46
Speaker 1: going to do, they're lying. I don't care if they're
18:48
Speaker 1: a realtor a mortgage program. Nobody knows. Right, you can guess,
18:52
Speaker 1: but uh, it sounds like hopefully anyway, they'll be going
18:55
Speaker 1: down a little more of the last couple of years.
18:57
Speaker 1: But anybody know, just smarterer than me forecasting it? How
19:01
Speaker 1: do you know? But nobody knows. But here's that here's
19:03
Speaker 1: what I feel pretty good about. And a lot of
19:05
Speaker 1: people think like, oh, they were three percent a few
19:07
Speaker 1: years ago. I'm waiting for it to go back down
19:09
Speaker 1: to three. Well, that probably isn't going to happen. I
19:12
Speaker 1: feel pretty good about saying that. And I'm an idiot
19:14
Speaker 1: who doesn't know what unions are. Oh man, you're dropping
19:18
Speaker 1: some knowledge this morning, Pike. Well, I'm one of the
19:20
Speaker 1: people that didn't get in on that sweet sweet interest right,
19:23
Speaker 1: so I'm one of the ones way waiting around even
19:26
Speaker 1: people who did, like yourself, Amanda, there's a lot of
19:28
Speaker 1: people who probably want to move into a bigger home
19:30
Speaker 1: or a different area, but you're kind of stuck because
19:33
Speaker 1: you're gonna be paying a lot more on a mortgage
19:35
Speaker 1: because you're interest rate won't be three percent. I'm really
19:39
Speaker 1: happy with where our decision and where we are. Yeah,
19:41
Speaker 1: you got like, yeah, you timed a great you got
19:44
Speaker 1: your home. You don't. I don't think you need a
19:46
Speaker 1: bigger home, absolutely new home. It's it's great. I know
19:50
Speaker 1: you complain a lot about your neighbors, but oh, come on,
19:52
Speaker 1: I do not. That is not true. I'm just kidding.
20:00
Speaker 4: If they're not listening, Ah, this guy, this guy, this guy, guy.
20:14
Speaker 2: The craziest stuff for the first time ever, American travelers
20:18
Speaker 2: with the US passport will be able to renew it online.
20:20
Speaker 2: They did a little trial run and now they do
20:22
Speaker 2: say that you will not have to fill out the
20:24
Speaker 2: print paperwork application and mail a check in make an
20:29
Speaker 2: appointment to renew it anymore. They also won't have to
20:31
Speaker 2: do their photo somewhere else because it can be done
20:34
Speaker 2: right from your cell phone and upload it online.
20:36
Speaker 1: Not perfectly commentary do you have for this today? I'll
20:40
Speaker 1: say it again that that's great. That'll save you thirty
20:43
Speaker 1: minutes every ten years. So think about how much of
20:46
Speaker 1: your wife you'l I'm back yep, No, it is nice.
20:49
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that I'm kind of waiting
20:51
Speaker 1: to happen, like why do I have a wallet? You know,
20:54
Speaker 1: why do I still have to carry a wallet? Like
20:55
Speaker 1: when is that going to be a thing of the past.
20:58
Speaker 2: Well, a lot of places you can just use your
20:59
Speaker 2: phone for, but the big thing is like the ID,
21:02
Speaker 2: the driver's license.
21:04
Speaker 1: When's that gonna go digital? So that's the only thing
21:08
Speaker 1: keeping me from in the otherwise, you know, unless you
21:12
Speaker 1: want cash for a concession stand, hot dog or something.
21:14
Speaker 1: But even they have cards now Apple Pay. Almost every
21:17
Speaker 1: iPad people using iPads for payment, Like, yeah, you can
21:20
Speaker 1: use your Apple pay on there. So I would love
21:22
Speaker 1: to not have a bulky wallet making my rear look stupid.
21:26
Speaker 2: You don't just have your wife carry your idea or
21:30
Speaker 2: something like that.
21:30
Speaker 1: No, yeah, but it seems like it's a big ask.
21:33
Speaker 1: Sometimes apparently it triples the weight of her purse. Oh yeah,
21:37
Speaker 1: I hate to even bother her with that sort of request.
21:41
Speaker 2: Beautiful today, sunshine and a high of eighties.
21:46
Speaker 1: Like a minute in the morning on a big nutty
21:49
Speaker 1: eight point seven. Well like George Bush, George W. Bush
21:52
Speaker 1: once wisely said fool me once, shame on you, uh
21:57
Speaker 1: fool me, fool me again, and and uh uh you're
22:03
Speaker 1: not gonna fool me again. Well, that's the case with
22:05
Speaker 1: this woman who twice now in the last two years,
22:09
Speaker 1: has been arrested for an adult toy related domestic battery.
22:14
Speaker 1: What see Once that's just a you know, a one
22:18
Speaker 1: time thing, but twice. We got a trend happening here
22:20
Speaker 1: with Chelsea White. She's thirty five now this time around,
22:24
Speaker 1: her and her boyfriend were in the kitchen about to
22:26
Speaker 1: eat when the man her boyfriend, discovered that his missing
22:32
Speaker 1: glass toy that belonged to him. So he's got his
22:35
Speaker 1: own adult toy, made a glass He found it inside
22:40
Speaker 1: of his girlfriend, Chelsea White's backpack inside of the home.
22:45
Speaker 1: So he happened to be snooping through her backpack for
22:47
Speaker 1: whatever reason. Honeywhere's your keys? Oh they're on your back
22:50
Speaker 1: Let me look. Oh my god, is this my glass toy?
22:55
Speaker 1: And he didn't like that. You didn't like that she
22:57
Speaker 1: had his toy. So at that point a tussle ensued
23:01
Speaker 1: when hustle Chelsea White, the thirty five year old, exchanged
23:06
Speaker 1: blows with the man. After the pair briefly separated, the
23:10
Speaker 1: man told cops that she began hitting him again after
23:13
Speaker 1: he went to grab the backpack. So she really wanted
23:16
Speaker 1: that glass toy. You know, when you're a kid, he
23:19
Speaker 1: had a favorite toy. Yes, that's that's what this is.
23:22
Speaker 1: It's kind of like that, but adult version. Yeah. She
23:24
Speaker 1: was standing in the kitchen and at that point she
23:27
Speaker 1: took the glass toy and threw it ouch. Now will
23:31
Speaker 1: the toy? I would love to say the word, you know,
23:34
Speaker 1: can I and I can? It's just like a little
23:36
Speaker 1: you know, Yes, I'm trying to be trying to keep
23:38
Speaker 1: it cleaner, but it's a funny word. We can all
23:40
Speaker 1: say that, right. Well, it missed him instead hitting a door.
23:44
Speaker 1: And this is the worst part. The sound of the
23:47
Speaker 1: glass toy hitting the door and breaking woke up the
23:50
Speaker 1: couple's child. Oh see, now it's not fun anymore. Yeah,
23:54
Speaker 1: this is going on in the kitchen before. But just uh,
23:57
Speaker 1: I mean, I hope it never happened to you. But
23:59
Speaker 1: he ever is a kid. Remember waking up and hearing
24:01
Speaker 1: your parents fighting, traumatizing thing, regardless of the subject matter.
24:06
Speaker 1: But to find out that this was the reason. Yeah,
24:09
Speaker 1: she's not facing charges of domestic battery. And again this
24:13
Speaker 1: happened before a similar incident. This is wild. Yeah, you
24:17
Speaker 1: just got like you got to take the toys away.
24:19
Speaker 1: You know. It's like again, that's what.
24:22
Speaker 2: The sentence is going to be YouTube. You're no longer
24:24
Speaker 2: going to be able to play with your toy.
24:26
Speaker 1: You can't share the toys kids, You're just not going
24:29
Speaker 1: to have the toy at all. God like it a

27:33
Speaker 1: Not getting in hesse toy trucks, some sort of toy
27:36

28:45
Speaker 1: balloon in. I mean balloons come out. Water balloons. See
28:48
Speaker 1: water balloons? Yes, did you know we just had a
28:51
Speaker 1: friend over the summer. They have reusable water balloons. Now
28:56
Speaker 1: how are they isn't that crazy? Yeah, they just showed you.
28:59
Speaker 2: They like they don't explode like they like open but
29:02
Speaker 2: they don't rip. So they're just a little bit thicker
29:05
Speaker 2: material easier to fill up.
29:07
Speaker 1: I'd have to see a wild cron is. They're incredibly
29:10
Speaker 1: hard to fill up, and you're gonna end up breaking
29:13
Speaker 1: it around the sink when the little band goes around
29:16
Speaker 1: the sink.
29:17
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than when you have water balloon mess
29:20
Speaker 2: all over your yard and you try to pick up
29:21
Speaker 2: all those little pieces.
29:23
Speaker 1: Though it's all worth it. It's all worth there's a drilling
29:25
Speaker 1: somebody with a water balloon when they're not expecting it.
29:28
Speaker 1: It's been so long, I want to do that today.
29:30
Speaker 1: You want to have a water fight. Absolutely, You might
29:32
Speaker 1: want to put on a different colored T shirt first
