- 0:00SPEAKER_01: Ellie and I were just talking about this off air.
- 0:03SPEAKER_01: This started yesterday.
- 0:04SPEAKER_01: We we were just having actually we were having a lunch conversation.
- 0:07SPEAKER_01: We were all sitting around and we said uh in a morning show planning session.
- 0:11SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we got into this thing about chore charts and you know how the listen, a lot more the you may be a house that's a chore chart house, whether it's the whiteboard, whether it's the electronic one, uh, and to each his own.
- 0:24SPEAKER_01: Nobody's wrong for however you keep your house moving forward, right?
- 0:28SPEAKER_01: Whatever it takes for you to do it.
- 0:30SPEAKER_01: But then we kind of got into at what point did the chore charts become a thing?
- 0:35SPEAKER_01: Because I was born in an era there was no chore chart, and even in all my friends' house, I'm thinking Kevin Connolly's house.
- 0:42SPEAKER_01: Nope.
- 0:42SPEAKER_01: Kathy Condley never had uh a chore chart up.
- 0:45SPEAKER_01: Scott Power's house, nope.
- 0:47SPEAKER_01: Kathy laid the hammer down.
- 0:48SPEAKER_01: Joan never had a chore chart up.
- 0:50SPEAKER_01: I mean, all my I mean never saw, but we all knew what to do.
- 0:52SPEAKER_01: I knew I was the garbage guy the garbage man for the house.
- 0:56SPEAKER_01: Uh I knew I was, you know, during the summer, I I my dad Scott, get outside and mow the lawn.
- 1:01SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 1:01SPEAKER_00: Right, of course.
- 1:02SPEAKER_00: But at now anymore, it's not that kids don't know what to do.
- 1:05SPEAKER_00: Like I'm sure your kids know what to do.
- 1:08SPEAKER_00: I if you ask Tiffany, no.
- 1:10SPEAKER_00: Okay, well, maybe they don't know what to do.
- 1:11SPEAKER_00: Maybe they need a chore chart.
- 1:13SPEAKER_00: So the thing about the chore chart, I just find it so satisfying.
- 1:18SPEAKER_00: You do, but you didn't have one either.
- 1:21SPEAKER_00: No, we just had a list, and I have to read this one because this one this is funny.
- 1:25SPEAKER_00: This is from 7018.
- 1:27SPEAKER_00: And they said, I'm exactly 10 years younger than Allie, birthday twin.
- 1:31SPEAKER_00: Awesome.
- 1:32SPEAKER_00: Can't wait for our birthday this year.
- 1:34SPEAKER_00: And then they said, But I feel like I was raised similar to her.
- 1:37SPEAKER_00: No lists really.
- 1:38SPEAKER_00: We just did what we were told.
- 1:40SPEAKER_00: We did have the list, like my mom always had a cute notepad, but the list came in multiple forms.
- 1:46SPEAKER_00: And I'm gonna read another text that I it also came this way sometimes for me.
- 1:50SPEAKER_00: This is from 6767.
- 1:52SPEAKER_00: I grew up with the list of chores being left on the back of an envelope from the junk mail.
- 1:57SPEAKER_00: Oh, is this so true too?
- 1:59SPEAKER_00: I can see this one too.
- 2:00SPEAKER_00: My daughter doesn't have a chore chart, nor do I think I'll ever have one.
- 2:03SPEAKER_00: She just helps when I ask.
- 2:05SPEAKER_00: Okay, fair enough.
- 2:06SPEAKER_00: It depends.
- 2:07SPEAKER_00: It depends how many kids are in the house, too, because you have two kids, and I know that there's certain ch chores that are for Lydia, like that are designed for her age, right?
- 2:16SPEAKER_00: That you want to teach her to be responsible for that.
- 2:18SPEAKER_00: At some point she'll figure it out.
- 2:19SPEAKER_00: There's certain, but there's certain chores that Gavin would do that Lydia wouldn't do, at least not yet.
- 2:24SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 2:25SPEAKER_00: And I think that's the reason for the chart.
- 2:26SPEAKER_00: It's like, okay, well, go ahead.
- 2:28SPEAKER_01: And then I got thinking about the chart though itself, because we started looking at this almost in the age groups, and we got a few texts from people that were, you know, born 89, 87, you know, 99.
- 2:38SPEAKER_01: 97, 98.
- 2:40SPEAKER_01: And and what's interesting was, and I told Allie, I said, I could see the chore chart having ta taken off if it was something like let's pretend a chore chart, the chore chart um chorechart is a funny thing to say chore.
- 2:53SPEAKER_00: I know chorechart.
- 2:54SPEAKER_01: Chore chart.
- 2:54SPEAKER_01: Let's say the chore chart craze did not exist yet.
- 2:58unknown: Okay.
- 2:58SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 2:59SPEAKER_01: Oh.
- 2:59SPEAKER_00: I go into Target for the first time and I'm like, what is this thing?
- 3:02SPEAKER_00: No.
- 3:02SPEAKER_01: I'm just kidding.
- 3:03SPEAKER_01: You know what would do it?
- 3:04SPEAKER_01: What would launch it?
- 3:05SPEAKER_01: It would be some TikTok influencer that would have done it.
- 3:08SPEAKER_01: So it takes me to a point going, did somewhere in the 90s uh some child psychologist show up on Dr.
- 3:15SPEAKER_01: Phil and then this suddenly exploded into what?
- 3:18SPEAKER_01: Because that's the way, that's the way that people used to get influenced before like TikTok and Instagram and stuff.
- 3:24SPEAKER_00: I think it was the reality show.
- 3:26SPEAKER_00: She was like 911 Nanny or uh Oh my god, I remember that.
- 3:30SPEAKER_01: The early 2000s when it was uh I think it wasn't it 9911 or something?
- 3:35SPEAKER_00: Nanny emergence.
- 3:36SPEAKER_00: I don't remember.
- 3:37SPEAKER_01: Although she handled a lot of really younger kids, like uh, you know, infant to toddler.
- 3:42SPEAKER_00: I think she still had the chore chart.
- 3:43SPEAKER_01: Oh, I oh yeah.
- 3:45SPEAKER_01: Three, two, one.
- 3:47SPEAKER_01: We're listening to Scott and Allie.
- 3:49SPEAKER_01: Scott and Allie's big thing.
- 3:50SPEAKER_00: There's more text that we'll get to too, because there's just too many to miss.
- 3:54SPEAKER_01: No, it's great, and I love this because I'm like, are you a chore chart family?
- 3:57SPEAKER_01: Are you not?
- 3:58SPEAKER_01: And now we're kind of figured out when it became in vogue.
- 4:01SPEAKER_00: But we want to get to the big three really quick.
- 4:03SPEAKER_00: Two, brought to you by E and V Energy.
- 4:06SPEAKER_00: When you're heating your house, your business, your farm this year, call somebody who's actually gonna talk to you on the phone, and that's E and V Energy.
- 4:15SPEAKER_00: They will deliver to you with no fees.
- 4:17SPEAKER_00: They're the no fee fuel company.
- 4:20SPEAKER_00: You know today marks a hundred days until Christmas.
- 4:23SPEAKER_01: Oh my god.
- 4:24SPEAKER_00: Feeling the breeze of Mariah Carey, right?
- 4:25SPEAKER_00: And when is the next paycheck?
- 4:28SPEAKER_00: The breeze of Mariah Carey.
- 4:30SPEAKER_00: That was great.
- 4:31SPEAKER_00: And Operation Santa is underway.
- 4:34SPEAKER_00: Do you know right now you can start writing letters to Santa?
- 4:37SPEAKER_00: Oh, better do those chores.
- 4:40SPEAKER_00: Letters to Santa can be so.
- 4:41SPEAKER_01: You know, that was the good old way of dealing with it.
- 4:44SPEAKER_00: And he's watching, and it still is.
- 4:47SPEAKER_00: And his elf, too.
- 4:48SPEAKER_00: So here's Santa's address, so you can start writing to him.
- 4:53SPEAKER_00: It's Santa Claus at 123 Elf Road North Pole 88888.
- 5:00SPEAKER_01: You just nailed it.
- 5:01SPEAKER_01: The chore chart is the 365-day a year elf on the shelf.
- 5:06SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's the gateway to Christmas.
- 5:08SPEAKER_00: It is.
- 5:10SPEAKER_00: And it was predating the elf on the shelf.
- 5:12SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
- 5:13SPEAKER_00: Imagine working 32 hours a week and still getting paid the same as you would for 40.
- 5:19SPEAKER_00: Is it possible?
- 5:20SPEAKER_00: Well, it might be because the 32-hour work week act was just introduced by a representative in California and good old Bernie Sanders last week.
- 5:29SPEAKER_00: I'm Bernie, I'm here! Proposing it should be our new normal.
- 5:33SPEAKER_01: 32 hours a week.
- 5:34SPEAKER_01: It's perfect.
- 5:35SPEAKER_01: That's all you need to do.
- 5:36SPEAKER_01: Just ask half the employees that used to work here.
- 5:39SPEAKER_01: I Hello, that was a joke.
- 5:41SPEAKER_00: I don't think I could get I couldn't get my work done in 32 hours.
- 5:44SPEAKER_00: Maybe 35.
- 5:46SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 5:47SPEAKER_00: I don't know if I could.
- 5:48SPEAKER_00: California prosecutors have decided against seeking the death penalty for Nick Reiner.
- 5:53SPEAKER_00: This is the gentleman who was charged with murdering his parents, Rob Reiner and Michelle Reiner, after a Christmas party last year.
- 6:00SPEAKER_00: Well, the district attorney said not only are they going to not seek the death penalty, part of it was it was his siblings' views were considered in the decision.
- 6:10SPEAKER_01: So that's gotta be really tough.
- 6:11SPEAKER_01: You you lose your parents, but then at the same time you have to help make a decision on whether or not you could potentially kill your brother.
- 6:19SPEAKER_01: I know.
- 6:20SPEAKER_01: Even though it looks pr innocent till proven guilty.
- 6:23SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 6:26SPEAKER_00: I said allegedly.
- 6:28SPEAKER_01: Yeah, saying the word allegedly does not mean you mean it.
- 6:30SPEAKER_00: Allegedly.
- 6:31SPEAKER_00: Wink.
- 6:33unknown: Jesus.
- 6:35SPEAKER_01: Somebody cut off her Netflix account.
- 6:37SPEAKER_01: This has to end.
- 6:38SPEAKER_00: I'm just winking over here.
- 6:39SPEAKER_01: I know you are.
- 6:40SPEAKER_00: I have something in my eye.
- 6:42SPEAKER_01: That's what Yeah.
