  Speaker 1: Jerry, Katie and Josh.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Well, my morning is completely out of whack and screwed up.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Every morning I put a little bowl of fruit in
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: my lunch tote.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: Did I prepare the night before?
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Last night, I chopped up some pineapple and some strawbellies,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: put them in my little tupperware bowl in the fridge.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: This morning, I grabbed that bowl put it in my
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: lunch tote. I just went over, opened up my lunch
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: tote and pulled out that bowl and popped the lid off.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: And it is a bunch of old dry spaghetti.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Oh no, I grabbed the wrong upperwar.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: It's just ry noodles. I hate this morning.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: That's not refreshing at all. Like pineapple sounds fabulous.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Was already for pineapple. Damn it.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: That's not to be one of the most disappointing things,
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: you know how.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh, well, this day sucks anyway. I'm
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: an idiot.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: So I'm reading all the news stories here. It was
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: crazy smoky in town yesterday, and I'm feeling it.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Are you guys feeling it?
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Taste it. I'm clearing my throat so much more
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: than I usually do.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I think that's a big part of why I was
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: so sick over the weekend.
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: It just got to me.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, big fires in Colorado right now. The Aspen Acres
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: fire is going on in Custer County. They're saying about
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: twenty three thousand acres right now. Yeah, zero percent contained,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: and it's currently the largest and fastest growing fire in Colorado.
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: Oh oh, it's so sad.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Then we got the Snyder Fire, which is the Mason
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Grand Counties near the Utah border. Twenty eight thousand acres,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: zero percent contained. Right now, that's the one that's man,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: that's the scary one, right it's.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Really close to Grand Junction. I mean, yesterday I saw
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the it switched directions. I think it made them, you know,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: like it it just took It was a positive finally
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: in all of that, but still not out of the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: woods yet.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: I mean that's the one where the three firefighters were
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: killed on that one. True, Yeah, that's horrible.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: And then now there's a Gold Mountain fire near your
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: ray and that's seven one hundred acres zero percent contained.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: And again another one like from the town you could
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: see it over the crest of the mountain and yes, yeah,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: they were happy that it turned away and started going
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: away from the town.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: But it has doubled in size over the past day,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: they said, So that was really quick. But man, everything
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: is so dry out there. The temperatures are high, single
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: digit humidity, gusty winds, like it's just truly a perfect
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: storm for all these fires right now.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: And how do you fight all that?
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: You know, you don't have enough manpower or air power
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: anything like that.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Well even just outside of the flames of just being
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: in the vicinity of it. I'll never forget when I
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: lived over there, there was a big fire and the ashes,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: like you had to clean off a good centimeter of
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: ashes from your every day because it was like that.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: And imagine what your lungs look like at that point.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: If your car's looking like your masks, what your lungs
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: look like. So, yeah, it is I'm praying and you know,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: all my friends out there on the western slope just
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: hoping that everything's okay.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: So yeah, kind of hard to see though, a.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Very hard to see.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: It sucks for you know, the nature and people having
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: to be evacuated and lives being lost, and I guess
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: it just it's one of those things. Don't want to
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: be a parent here, but just think about it. You
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: know what, the fourth of July coming up, shooting off
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: the fireworks.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: And doing things.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: You know, be smart with your fireworks, absolutely, be smart,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: be careful this year because man, it could.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Get a whole lot worse fast.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Well, and I remember last year without all the fires
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and firefighters had to respond to like forty five different
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: calls within like seven hours because of fireworks. So you know,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: our men and women in uniform, we don't want to
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: put any.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: Extra pressure on them.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: So definitely hoping they stay safe this season as well.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so don't put any pop bottle rockets in your
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: butts off.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: This is not the year to do it. Don't do it,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: year to do it really quick. I do have this story.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I guess we're heading into July, which is National ice
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Cream Month, and National ice Cream Day actually falls on
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: July nineteenth, but tomorrow is National Creative ice Cream Flavors Day,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: so it's all about ice cream.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: In the month of July.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: They went out and did a report and some polling
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: data to determine the most popular ice cream flavors in
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: every state.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Where are we at here with Colorado? Oh? Chocolate chip?
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: That boring, that's boring.
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: One step up from vanilla.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Indiana got peppermint, Kansas got macha, Main got blueberry.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: South Carolina got peach.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Kansas, the most boring state out there, gets macha?
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Should vanilla? Vermont got peanut butter? Which I am? A
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: peanut butter ice cream? Which one got?
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: Rocky Road? Does it say.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Nope?
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: No cookies and cream?
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: If you want to go up to South Dakota, Hey,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: lavender in Oregon lavender ice cream?
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: I do like lavender ice cream.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: What does that taste like?
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: Like?
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: The color tastes like Barney, the sweet lavender taste.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: It is something you gotta at least try it.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: What's up sweet lavender?
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: You girl?
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I should make a shirt for my little shop that
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: says ice cream sweat on it.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: I'd probably buy that one.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: It's funny, is I? I?
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Was that offensive?
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: A little difference between a man and a woman right there?
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: Cream sweat, but funny?
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Text me right now?
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Should I make a shirt that says that three zo
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: three six nine one sixteen forty nine?
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Is that something you'd wear into the office?
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: Probably? Okay, maybe not the office?
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Where would you wear a shirt this is ice cream?
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: I know?
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: The only place you.
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: Could give me your finest soft roll into cold Stone.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Oh my god. That's okay.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: So anyway, that was totally sidetracked from what we wanted
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: to talk about.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Gen Zers are putting up walls, Katie.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean, if you like think about it,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: if you know a gen Zer, I do. I gave
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: birth to one, and she has this whole thing where
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: she doesn't like owe anyone anything. And it's not just her,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: it's people who age all across the board. They've got
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: really strong boundaries with their friends, with their workplaces. They
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: are very you know, in tune with their mental health.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: These are things that they have done that are you know,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: positive in a way. But now we're starting to see
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the negatives of this because everyone wants.
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: A village, but no one wants to be a villager.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: That's kind of how they're describing this phenomenon with the
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: gen Zers. So they talk about how like their work
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: life balance, right, Like we've discussed how they talk about
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: how they want to take a nap, How in the
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: middle of the day, the gen Zers want to take
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: a nap. They need days for their mental health.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: But now we're putting yourself first.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: It is putting yourself first. It's very selfish.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Josh.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: That's kind of what they're saying here is you know,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: gen Zers, they have this whole protect your piece thing.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you've heard it. I'm sure you I have
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: z siblings, Yes, exactly. And so it's often then they're
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: saying this protecting your piece can morph into like a
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: selfish or a bad friend, right. I just think when
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I go back to like having friends and like what
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: they mean to me, I can ask a couple of
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: my friends for anything at any time, and I know
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: that they will show up and because they know that
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: they can get that from me. But it's a you know, process,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and it's a history of doing that for your friends,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: showing up, for your friends, being there for them that
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: they know they can count on you. With gen Zers,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: it's now just you know, do you want to come
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: to my party?
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: I do.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: But then they don't.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Show up because they're like, I am a headache and
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I just don't want anything to disturb my peace like that.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: They and they're so quick to use that as an excuse,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: like it's going to make them step outside of their
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: comfort zone and they don't want to do it, and
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: they don't have to do it. That's what they've been
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: kind of taught, right, I don't know. It's like I
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: don't like it either, And I think, honestly, you need
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: to show up for your friends.
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: Why you know, I'm a people pleaser, like to a fault.
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: I have a very hard time saying no, and I
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: always want to help someone out and be there for someone.
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: So this is like polar opposite of what I'm used
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: to at all. Yeah, I mean I overserved to the
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: point where like I spread myself too thin, where now
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: these people are just like, oh I can RSVP to a.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: Party, have you get ready for that?
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: Make a table spot for me, and then just never
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: even show up because I have I'm tired.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's it, Like this really so tired.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: Well this story I was.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Looking at specifically, She was like, you know, I planned
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: a potluck style party and several of the people bailed
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: at the last minute, and then they didn't respond my
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: invitation at all, some of them, and well before that.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Because potlucks are disgusting.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but honestly, like when when you think back, like I.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Just remember my friend's birthday parties, Like when I was
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: in my twenties, I was.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: There for this so fun.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: We had a big party.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I showed up for them, they showed up for my parties,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: and I just so baby Nana her last birthday party,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: she rented a little space.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: She put out, you know, a good chunk of money
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: for the food, the drink.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: She invited a bunch of people, and a lot of
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: her friends didn't show up, and it really made her sad.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: And I was just like, that's kind of what the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: kids your age do now though, right, Like they.
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: Don't show up.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I texted you exactly, And so that's kind of what
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: this whole thing is is they're seeing this whole loneliness phenomenon,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: but they're feeding into it, Like if you're not going
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: to show up for your friend, they're not going to
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: show up for you either. That's how it works, right.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: I don't like the mentality of I don't owe anybody anything.
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's it.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: You don't know anyone anything is what they kind of,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: you know, just live by and you see it in
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: the workspace, you see it in the friendship. But again,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: these phones are what's contributing to all of it, because
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: we think that we can you know, communicate with people
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: and have entire relationships with people just based on this,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: and it's really hurting the next generation they're finding out.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: So it's this whole new thing with gen z ors
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: where you know, you don't have to show up for people, No,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: you kind of do. And I hope they start seeing
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: that it's better when you show up for people versus
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: when you don't.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: They're gonna, yeah, I hate gen zol.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Awesome, go have anybody, Bears.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you that you're gonna slide it down.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Listen, you need at least six friends, you guys, because
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: they got to be your pall bearers, right, at least six.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: There you go, there's your advice from Jai Bear.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Today, you should be wrapping up your vote for the primary, right, Yeah,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: we forgot last night we were sorting a bunch of papers.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: We're like, oh my god, there's our ballads. So sweet
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: nick Knack did her due diligence, and she hopped on
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: and researched everybody's into the elections. She she loves the
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: research and watching videos zigs hunt and then she.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Tells me who to vote for.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Ye, it's a good way over her.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Also, speaking of America, the two hundred and fiftieth is
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: almost here, and a lot of shoppers out and about
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: are asking where's all the patriotic merch? Bro There's a
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: lot of people saying that the big brands when you
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: wander into the stores, probably like the Wally Worlds and
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: the Tarj's have plenty of World Cup merch, but there's
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: not a lot for America's two hundred and fiftieth.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Where's all the shirts at you guys?
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: And you know what's unfortunate about it, I think is
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: just because.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Of how political everything is, that a lot of people
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: probably don't want to wear that stuff because they assume
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: that they'll just be lumped into that and start a
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: conversation about politics they don't want to get into. Even
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: though I know a lot of people who are really
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: excited about it, like it's a big deal.
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: Two hundred and fifty years, you know.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, anyone who remembers the bi centennial back in seventy six,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: that was when you celebrated your graduation from high school?
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: Are you talking about yourself?
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: No was They said there were special products and decorations, collectibles,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: school supplies with patriotic designs everywhere. But this year, fans
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: are saying the selection is pretty darn limited.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: It makes me sad.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: I know, right, It's just you're celebrating America. I pushed
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: the politics to the side. Just celebrate mirerk.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Nobody can push politics to the side anymore though. It's
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: just it's so hard, Like I really think that's why
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: people don't want to celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I saw a shirt that was SpongeBob font and it
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: said two hundred and fifty years later.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: I wanted to get that.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: One's fun.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: That's fun, and Cheerios has a birthday cake cereal for
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: the celebration.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: If you want to get that.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Cheerios, Cheerios and a Mountain Dew did temporarily become American?
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Dude?
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: You know what? I had some of that the other day,
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: just like freedom. It was good.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: It was good, So you have to put it out.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Josh, you might remember the red white and do Oh yes,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: is this.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: The same American?
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: Do?
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Is it the same flavor?
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: The red White and.
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: Dew was awesome. That was like they had the code
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: red and then the blue one too, right. They had
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: the different cans.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: That you could buy, Yes, yes, yes, yeah.
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: This one was just the actual normal Mountain dew, but
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: it was the can is really cool. It's like a
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: collector's edition and it's all stars and stripes, American flags
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: and stuff. But I think the World Cup has helped
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: a little bit in the fact that so many Europeans
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: have come over here and they love it. They're like,
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: America's awesome. They've getten their meals paid for and stuff
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: like that. But you're right with Jeffrey Refilmed. Yeah, in
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: terms of merch.
• 13:39
