  Speaker 2: from people's lives. So it's Radio from Hell at X
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: ninety six dot com. Put muscle on the subject line.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I'll start today. I have one on my own. The
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: term nothing burger. That's just a nothing burger. You know
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: that that I looked it up. Nothing burger was a
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: phrase coined in nineteen fifty three by Gossip columnist Luella Parsons. Ah, Luella,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: and I think since nineteen fifty three it's we can
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: certainly retire it.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Don't say something is a nothing burger? All right? This
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: one is from My name is Mark, and you can say,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: so what must go?
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Is people thinking that I owe them an explanation of
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: why I look the way I do. I'm obviously disabled,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: and you would be surprised by how many people start
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: a conversation with what happened to you?
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Oh? This is our friend Mark?
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, I'm not embarrassed by my appearance. I
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: learned I earned looking like this. I don't mind at
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: all talking about it. But could you just ask me
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: my name first?
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Perhaps? Yeah? I mean I doubt most.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: People would approach somebody and say, hello, random stranger, tell
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: me about the worst thing that ever happened to you.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: People wouldn't do that.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: But if someone is in a wheelchair, has an amputation
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: or visible scarring, somehow, it's okay. Please remember we're people first,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: and we deserve to expect courtesy and respect. By the way,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I do have a couple of responses prepared for when
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: this happens, which are not wholly true, but I think
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: they're funny, but he doesn't say what they are. I
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: remember when I first met Mark, and I believe that
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: we chatted for some time before. I said, do you
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: mind if I ask you how you got so? You know,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: it's obviously burned scars, And he said no, I don't
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: mind at all and told me the fascinating story. It's
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: a great story, and really he's a good guy.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Mark.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Let's see this one says Hi, Lords, I just spent
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks with my mother in Michigan, and
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: she's eighty six, and.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: She has Fox News blaring all day long every day.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I tried to ignore that horrible rhetoric, but she's practically deaf,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: so I really couldn't. The stuff I heard was completely
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: bat as crazy. I mean, I can't believe people take
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: what they say on that channel seriously. It was difficult
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: to maintain my composure, but I did make it through. Luckily,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: when I'm home, I can choose to watch literally anything else.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Fox News must go. And that's from I'm.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Telling your parental controls. They'll never figure it out. Lock
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: them out of all those channels, and they'll figure.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: That's from Carrie b you can use my name. And
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: then finally this one, Hello Lords, thank you for working
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: your magic. These are a couple from Brent and Zach
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: if it's not too late to include it today. Number one,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: not listening to Katie. Everybody seems to listen to the
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: don't swear warning, but please stop using speaker phones when
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: you call, and causing that echo loop when you turn
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: your speaker up hoping to hear yourself on the radio.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: And for the love of God, if you've ever been
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: described as long winded and need a friend, maybe the
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: check in platform isn't for you, don't you know? I
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: need more time to hear Bill yell about Gina's dietary choices.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: And number two, family drama needs to go quick trip
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: to a wedding and my tongue hurts from biting it
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: as one of my family members as a hot temper,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: and the slightest contradictory word or opinion usually ramps them
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: up to death. Con one without warning back home unscathed,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: but it was a gargantuan effort. Thank you, Brent and
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: sack Gina.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Okay, this is from Let's See Katie. Katie says, thank
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: you for letting me listen. My Halloween thing that must
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: go is trunk or treats happening at the neighborhood ward
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: house during prime trick or treat hours.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Halloween is the best not a year to be out
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: and about and a perfect opportunity to meet neighbors. Kids
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: should be out going door to door from five thirty
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: to seven thirty, not inside. Essentially a private party. Have
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: your party, but have it at a different time. Take
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: advantage of the one night year you can ring your
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: doorbell and meet neighbors without it being weird. Make everyone
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: work for that candy. Yeah, let's see next we have.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: This is a different Katie actually, and she says you
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: can use my name. My thing that must go is
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: the plastic tabs holding sock bundle pairs together. They're excessive
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: and nearly impossible to remove without having to perform a
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: delicate extraction first with something sharp like scissors, causing more damage.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: They often snag threads or even poke holes in the
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: brand new socks before I have had a chance to
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: wear them. Is it too much to ask that sock
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: bundle packaging use fewer fasteners or a more user friendly design.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: This must go, thanks Katie. Let's see this from Mindy.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: What must go is my spouse giving me unsolicited helpful
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: suggestions on how to do things. For instance, I was
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: moving some furniture the other day and he told me
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: to make sure to lift with my legs and not
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: my back. Of course I know that, and I was.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Doing exactly that.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: He loves to give me suggestions on how to load
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: the dishwasher, doing laundry, making the bed, driving directions. Hey,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: as my dad once told me, if you don't like
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: how I'm doing it, why don't you do it yourself?
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Carry all right?
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Two from the foot of Mount Doom. If you're a
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: single shopper at Costco, you aren't being as helpful as
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: you think you're being when you park your cart outside
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: the veggie or milk and egg refrigerated areas to go
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: inside and grab whatever it is that you need, because
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: you see, you've left your cart unattended in the doorway
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: of the frozen area, and we have to stand there
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: behind your stupid unattended cart waiting for you to come back.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Because there are other shoppers taking up the rest of
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: the aisle with their carts. There is enough room in
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: the refrigerated areas they're designed for you to walk through
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: with your cart. You're not causing any traffic, gamp. Let's
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: just hold this side on a direction.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: And we'll make it through, okay, all right.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: Also, if you misjudge how much toilet paper is actually
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: left on the roll of toilet paper, so you keep
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: pulling thinking there's just a little bit, you can use
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: it up. But there's more than you thought there was,
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: and it's going to be wasteful you use it all.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: Now you have to replace the toilet paper roll, throw
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: away the old toilet paper roll core, and put what's
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: left over on the count.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: These are really big problems. Big problems.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: This one from Tony being too fat to fit into
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: my Spider Man leotard for my freshman year at the U.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Sorry, not being eligible for.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: The Centurion Lounge at the Salt Lake International Airport that's
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: opening soon. It's because I'm basic with my Blue Delta
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Sky on my Sky Miles card and don't want to
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: pay the annual.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Fee, although I saw some pictures of it.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: It opened yesterday.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: You may want to pay that.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: When the sesame seed gets stuck between your teeth and
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: there's no flaws.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Also, you tough folks who.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Complain about Zoran Mandanmi being Muslim, He's running for office
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: in a city that's two thousand miles away and won't
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: bring Sharia law in because he wants New York City
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: to become an LGBTQA sanctuary city. Ah, yeah, that doesn't
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: work for your narrative.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I would just say to this this texture or this emailer,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: camel's nose, camel's nose.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Under the tent.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: This one from Wendy My Halloween Things that must go
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: are the damn chainsaws at spooky Attractions? How do I
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: know that they really remove the chain?
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: What if they forgot? It's a reason last chainsaw guy
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: that when he comes in.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: Here every time I heard one of those things start
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: up and the joker wielding at revet like like a
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: hont To two fifty my fight or flight pegs the needle,
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: just make it go. And let's see this one. Let's
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: see listening to things that must go on Wednesday and
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: thinking I'm going to email my things that must go
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: for next week, but I don't want to send it
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: too soon because I don't want the email to get
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: lost and then not being able to remember them Tuesday night.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: It won't get lost. Actually, Katie's really good about catching
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: those as they come in and putting them in a file,
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: so don't worry about sending them too soon.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: Yes, thinks that must go on the radio show
