  It's the Playhouse Podcast with Kat and JJ. Can you believe it? I missed everything.
• 0:06
  Missed the show? What am I going to do? Check out the daily podcast.

  Had a lot of fun Thursday morning during our live show, and we talked to a guy
• 0:12
  named John who's struggling a little bit with his online dating,
• 0:16
  and he thought he had the best way to slide into a girl's DMs,
• 0:20
  and we all thought it was actually kind of stupid.
• 0:23
  But the best news is you had good suggestions for how he should start these
• 0:27
  conversations. That's coming up in just a couple of seconds here in the podcast. Let's go. Bingo.
• 0:32
  How far? Last week, someone lost an eye at bingo. Bingo. Bingo what?
• 0:37
  Bingo. Bingo. Bingo. Hurry up and call immediately if you fit one of the following
• 0:41
  two criteria so you can get the bingo. Are you somebody listening who?
• 0:45
  Who has a parent that did something cool back in their day. So this guy, he is so proud of his mom.
• 0:52
  She has made like all these weird cameos in commercials and movies that you've
• 0:56
  seen. She's like lady that walks in front of Ted Danson, you know,
• 1:00
  but he had this like highlight reel.
• 1:03
  And he's like, I think that's my mom in that TV infomercial.
• 1:06
  She is talking on the phone, getting out of hand, then attach the phone relief headset.
• 1:10
  It's that easy. She passed away in 1999. So I felt like, you know,
• 1:14
  26 years later, I can feel like I'm getting a little bit of a God wink.
• 1:18
  For sure. Every time I see it, I'm like, there's my mom just gonna smile. That's crazy.
• 1:22
  Like you all of a sudden get a video clip of your mom 25 years ago.
• 1:25
  Well, a news station was doing like a little expose on funny gadgets that were
• 1:30
  created back in the day to make your life easier.
• 1:32
  And she's in the background being able to do things with both hands because
• 1:36
  she wasn't having to hold the phone.
• 1:38
  He's like, hey, that's my mom. So you thought it was pretty cool.
• 1:41
  So you have a parent that did something cool or notable back in the day.
• 1:44
  I'm going to go on the hunt for anyone listening who has had to do CPR on a stranger.
• 1:49
  Oh, wow. All right. Like you rolled up to an accident. Maybe you were a coach
• 1:53
  and a kid went in a cardiac arrest or something like that.
• 1:55
  But you had to perform CPR on a stranger. They're saying, by the way.
• 1:59
  Fewer and fewer people are learning CPR.
• 2:03
  And it's one of those things you can learn in 60 seconds. And it literally can save someone's life.
• 2:08
  So I'm looking for anyone listening who's actually done CPR on somebody you
• 2:11
  had no idea who they were.
• 2:13
  Or maybe you're looking for, maybe we're looking for somebody listening.
• 2:15
  Who? Who has a parent that did something pretty cool back in the day.
• 2:18
  And you'd love to talk about it. Okay, let's go.
• 2:20
  First caller through gets the bingo, but you got to call now.
• 2:23
  Oh, father. Last week, someone lost an eye at bingo. Bingo. Bingo what bingo? Bingo. Bingo.
• 2:29
  All right, so Debbie is patiently waiting, but we don't know.
• 2:31
  Is she somebody listening who?
• 2:33
  Who has a parent that did something pretty cool.
• 2:36
  They were airing on this local TV station back in the day gadgets that just
• 2:40
  made your life easier. And it was a TV infomercial from the 90s.
• 2:44
  And this guy's watching.
• 2:45
  He's like, hey, that's my mom. He is talking on the phone, getting out of hand.
• 2:48
  Then attach the phone relief headset. It's that easy. She passed away in 1999,
• 2:53
  so I felt like, you know, 26 years later, I feel like I'm getting a little bit of a god wink.
• 2:57
  For sure, every time I see it, I'm like, there's my mom who's going to smile.
• 3:01
  And that's incredible. But tell me, does this not sound like the dog on Family Guy?
• 3:06
  He is talking on the phone, getting out of hand. That's got to be the same guy.
• 3:10
  From what? That's Brian, the dog on Family Guy. He is talking on the phone, getting out of hand.
• 3:16
  Guaranteed. Isn't the dog Seth MacFarlane? Does he do that voice?
• 3:20
  Does he do the voice of Brian? I thought he did. This sounds exactly like the
• 3:23
  dog on Family Guy, though, right?
• 3:25
  He is talking on the phone, getting out of hand. Yes. Hey, Brian.
• 3:30
  So his mom is in, like, TV shows, like, doing cameos, woman standing next to
• 3:35
  elevator, woman walking with purse fast, you know?
• 3:39
  So that's kind of cool. So you're looking for anyone listening whose parent
• 3:42
  has done something really, really awesome or noteworthy.
• 3:44
  I'm on the hunt for anyone listening who has done CPR on a stranger.
• 3:47
  I had to do it once on a stranger. Yeah.
• 3:51
  And unfortunately, he passed away. It was a car accident that we rolled up on.
• 3:55
  So did you just not pay attention?
• 3:57
  Well, no, no, no. He was DOA. Like, it was a traumatic head injury or whatever.
• 4:01
  But I tried and I tried and I tried. Debbie, which one do you fit?
• 4:05
  With you, JJ. Okay, let's go. So you had to do CPR on a stranger.
• 4:09
  First off, were you CPR, like, trained or did you just have to wing it? Oh, yeah.
• 4:14
  Yeah, no, been trained for quite some time. And did you train with the song,
• 4:19
  Staying Alive? Because it has since changed.
• 4:24
  I'm being serious. No, I did not have that going through my head.
• 4:26
  Oh. Yeah. So give us the scenario. You had to do CPR on somebody you didn't know. What happened?
• 4:31
  We were at an auction. This was many, many years ago.
• 4:34
  And just this big, big guy goes down and the auctioneer is like, does anybody know CPR?
• 4:40
  And there's already one gal up there.
• 4:43
  And she, of course, is doing the chest compressions. And I thought, well, lucky her.
• 4:47
  So and nowadays you don't even have to, you know, the mouth thing. Right, right.
• 4:54
  So what did you do?
• 4:56
  Sorry. Sorry. Oh, your phone is breaking up. Debbie, what did you do? There we go. OK.
• 5:03
  So all of a sudden, all right. You know what? This guy's down and out and just started.
• 5:08
  Yep. She's doing chest compressions. I'm on the mouth. And but then the only
• 5:12
  thing that really bothered me, there was some guy standing over us critiquing.
• 5:15
  And I thought, you get your butt down here. Yeah, right. Stop.
• 5:19
  Hop into action yourself. My big question is when they said,
• 5:22
  does anyone know CPR was your first instinct to raise your paddle?
• 5:28
  No? I did. I thought, you know what? Did he make it, Debbie?
• 5:33
  Did he die or did he make it?
• 5:34
  He did. He actually made it. All right. He saved his life. So that was kind
• 5:38
  of, it was like, all right, yeah. What'd he taste like? Yeah.
• 5:42
  That was gross. He had a denture, and that was floating around. Oh, my God.
• 5:49
  All right. But he lived to go to another auction.
• 5:54
  All right. Debbie, you're great. After that, I had about three cocktails, and it was all just.
• 5:59
  Dominic, you found a way to beat the system and become caller number 10.
• 6:05
  Congratulations. What are you up to?
• 6:08
  Nothing. Just heading into work. All right. What do you do, sir?
• 6:11
  Financial advisor. Okay.
• 6:14
  Now, I want to drop something on everyone real quick.
• 6:18
  Because I read it this morning and it made me feel icky. And I feel like it's
• 6:22
  my job to pass along the ick to all of you.
• 6:25
  Do you know, Dominic, that within eight short weeks, you're probably going to
• 6:29
  be scraping snow off your car?
• 6:31
  Right? Yeah. Unfortunately, I will be. That sucks.
• 6:35
  Yeah, but I like those videos where it's like 17 more sleeps until Christmas.
• 6:39
  You know, like I'll start posting those things.
• 6:41
  But do you at least have a heated garage or a situation where you don't have
• 6:45
  to scrape your car every morning?
• 6:48
  Oh, we have a garage. Yeah. One last question. What would you what are you what
• 6:51
  are you investing in? What are you putting your money in as an advisor?
• 6:55
  You're like, this is going to be big. What's hot?
• 6:59
  Yeah. All on red.
• 7:03
  Fair enough. Let's go with a guy that. Are you one of those where we have to
• 7:06
  pay you for your thoughts?
• 7:07
  Exactly. That's exactly what that meant. I bet you're a Gen Z.
• 7:11
  I don't think we have enough time.
• 7:12
  I'm on 3% if I'm going to give you a tip. My guy's like, you just want to invest
• 7:16
  in shampoo. Everyone's going to need shampoo. I'm like, all right.
• 7:20
  I just go along with it. Okay. Apple always seems to work, right?
• 7:25
  Let's get it for now. Dominic in front of Kat. She has now opened the envelope
• 7:29
  that contains your dollar amount.
• 7:30
  We know it's between $1,000 and $5,000.
• 7:34
  So you got a $4,000 gap. You're going to guess your first guess,
• 7:37
  and then we'll start your 12-second clock.
• 7:39
  If you can figure out how much money with Kat's help is sitting in front of
• 7:42
  her, you can keep all of it. Do you have any questions for us?
• 7:46
  No. You would think a guy in the finance business would be able to figure this
• 7:50
  out rather quick. So we wish you the best of luck, and you're ready to go on your first guess.
• 7:54
  3,200. Lower. 2,500. Higher. 3,000. Lower.
• 8:01
  2,800. Higher. 2,875. Higher.
• 8:05
  2,888. Aw, 2,888. I would have taken that. That was his last guess.
• 8:10
  It really was. 2,907. You were a good listener.
• 8:14
  Yeah, yeah. So I'm on a bunch of dating sites, and I'm just not having success.
• 8:20
  I've been messaging people, and I'm just left on read.
• 8:26
  It's getting a little frustrating at this point. I'm like, am I ugly?
• 8:29
  I don't know what's going on here. So give me a number real quick.
• 8:32
  How many have you messaged and how many have not gone back to you?
• 8:37
  I'm 9-0 right now. 9-0. Yeah, I reached out to 9, 0 responded back.
• 8:43
  It's just been over this last month. Okay, so you've messaged nine women in
• 8:48
  one month and not one has gotten back to you. What is your starting message?
• 8:54
  Like, what do you slide into the DMs with? Well, you know, I'm not trying to
• 8:57
  be a creeper, so I just usually put that emoji, you know, the waving hand.
• 9:01
  Okay, now this is where I want to stop. Hold on, hold on, hold on.
• 9:04
  I'm going to put you on hold for a second, John. This is where I want to stop.
• 9:08
  And I just want to know, let's say you're single cat and this guy hits you with just the wavy hand.
• 9:13
  Do you respond? No, I don't. I think we could probably all agree this is not
• 9:17
  the way you want to approach this, right? I've never had a good start with a
• 9:21
  waving hand because then what is it?
• 9:24
  You say hello back and then they're like, hey, have you checked out my website?
• 9:28
  I have a new track that you have to listen to.
• 9:30
  I always feel like there's spam or scam.
• 9:33
  Because that's what we get at the radio station. It's usually a wavy hand.
• 9:36
  And if you wave back, then it's like, hey, I'm an independent artist from Jordan, Minnesota.
• 9:41
  Have you heard my new hip hop track? Nothing good has ever followed the waving
• 9:43
  hand. It's not like you just have to say, oh, hey, I stumbled across your profile.
• 9:48
  I really enjoyed this about you. I think that I would like to learn a little bit more.
• 9:53
  What I want you to picture, John, is that you walk up to somebody in a club
• 9:57
  and like just face to face, you just wave at them.
• 10:00
  And that is what you're doing. OK, so let's do this. If we can all agree that
• 10:05
  the waving hand is probably not the best way to approach somebody you've never
• 10:09
  met before on an online dating thing, what would be the best go-to? What would work on you?
• 10:15
  Anything that was from my profile.
• 10:18
  So anything that you can relate to and do not fake relate to it.
• 10:23
  So if I like to, let's say.
• 10:27
  Recumbent bikes. Yes. If you like to lay back and bike at the same time and
• 10:32
  you're like, hey, I have a flag on mine. Do you have a flag on yours?
• 10:36
  And then I'll say, I do. So you really value your safety.
• 10:40
  And then we will get into it. When did you quit caring about your life?
• 10:43
  And then we will converse about that. And who knows? I mean,
• 10:47
  the possibilities are endless. Wedding bells in your future.
• 10:50
  Yeah, recumbent bike. On a serious note, though, as a woman listening right
• 10:54
  now, or even a guy, I don't care.
• 10:56
  What would be something that would actually get your attention on a dating profile?
• 10:59
  I think we can all agree that the wavy hand doesn't work.
• 11:02
  But as John's on hold, I would like for you to call real quick and just let
• 11:05
  him know what would be a good opening line.
• 11:08
  So a couple of seconds ago, we talked to a guy named John, and he had DM'd us earlier.
• 11:12
  And we said, let's bring this to the show because I think we've got a lot of
• 11:15
  listeners that might be able to help you out. So kind of new to dating apps.
• 11:19
  And so far this month, he's gone 0 for 9. He's hit up nine different girls,
• 11:23
  hasn't got a response from any of them. So we said, how are you hitting them
• 11:26
  up when you slide into their DMs? What game you spitting?
• 11:29
  And he just sends the waving hand.
• 11:32
  And so for me, I picture like when you are conversing with people online,
• 11:37
  like how would that look face to face?
• 11:39
  And can you imagine a guy just walking up and waving his big hand in your face?
• 11:43
  And you're like, where are we going to go from here?
• 11:46
  So I think a more thoughtful approach needs to be made. You need a great first line.
• 11:52
  Derek had called a couple of seconds ago, and he said, Tryouts are on Tuesday.
• 11:56
  Tryouts are on Tuesday. Now, that's
• 11:58
  great. Is he calling the right radio station? That's great, isn't it?
• 12:02
  You see, you've got it. Come try out and buy for my love. Tryouts are on Tuesday.
• 12:09
  Okay. Let's see what you got. He sounds like a catch. I like that.
• 12:11
  Hi, Hilda. How are you doing today?
• 12:13
  I'm good. How's it going? Good, good. Thanks for calling the show.
• 12:15
  If you could help out John here for a second, what would be a great opening
• 12:18
  line? He's using all these apps, he's trying to get a date, and he's using the
• 12:23
  wavy hand, which we've all agreed sucks.
• 12:25
  What would you go with as an opening line?
• 12:27
  Stop the emoji, stop the small talk. Literally say, would you like to go out?
• 12:32
  Would you like to go out for lunch?
• 12:34
  Yeah. Because it's flooded with small talk. Meet up.
• 12:37
  Ain't nobody got time in the online single game for small talk. Hold it.
• 12:43
  Let's go out for lunch would work on you? You'd be like, sure.
• 12:47
  Well, in my experience on dating apps, it's so much small talk and people just
• 12:51
  don't want to meet up anymore.
• 12:53
  So it's refreshing if somebody wants to meet you in person.
• 12:56
  You know what's sad is that people feel like they're getting everybody,
• 13:01
  like getting the other persons all through the Internet, which you can't.
• 13:06
  You know, you have to meet up with them and get a sense of who they are and
• 13:09
  have conversations face to face.
• 13:11
  Why do you think people don't want to meet up? I don't know,
• 13:13
  but you could talk and talk and talk.
• 13:15
  And then you meet somebody and you're like, absolutely not. I just wasted the
• 13:19
  last two weeks talking to this person. Yes.
• 13:21
  So it is refreshing to meet somebody face to face. And you know right away if
• 13:26
  they're going to work or not.
• 13:27
  And how hot would that be? Like a forward man if he's just like,
• 13:31
  hey, I think we need to meet up for, even if it's just coffee.
• 13:35
  Coffee in a queso. Well, I married mine.
• 13:38
  I married the man that asked me out and we went for coffee and that was it, right?
• 13:43
  So I got another suggestion for John. I want to run it past you since you're
• 13:46
  on the line hill. Like a good opening line, like nice jugs is not good.
• 13:51
  Not good. Okay. Definitely not. You don't want to be complimented that way?
• 13:54
  No. Okay. It would be so hard to watch if you were single. Just trying.
• 13:58
  Just trying things, guys. Just throwing it against the wall. Seeing what sticks.
• 14:03
  Friday morning going to get you three opportunities to win with free money high low.
• 14:06
  That's up to $5,000 every time. One shot at $50,000. And of course,
• 14:11
  Fridays mean Johnny D is going to be here with a couple of old school mixes.
• 14:14
  So if you haven't experienced a Friday morning live with our show, Friday, do it.
• 14:19
  It's going to be well worth your time as we finish up our podcast.
• 14:22
  All right. So when I was at Aldi the other day, I was going down the aisle.
• 14:28
  I had my list and I had passed by this woman, must have been in her 80s.
• 14:35
  She was all like slumped over, you know, osteoporosis and kicked in.
• 14:38
  Yeah, and she had her little list.
• 14:40
  And so she was an obvious shopper.
• 14:43
  And I passed by her in the bread aisle and then again in the home decor aisle.
• 14:49
  And then we're in like the pasta area.
• 14:52
  And I guess I hadn't noticed other aisles if she was doing this,
• 14:56
  but I was getting some taco stuff.
• 14:58
  And she is facing all of the cans of soup. And then she moved down to make sure
• 15:05
  all the boxes of pasta were lined up perfectly.
• 15:09
  So I was like,
• 15:11
  Maybe she has a little OCD. A lot of OCD. To be doing this.
• 15:16
  And I wondered, you know, obviously, like I said, I didn't notice that she had
• 15:20
  been doing this other areas of the store.
• 15:23
  It is strange. But she spent a good amount of time in that aisle.
• 15:27
  Things were not the way that she wanted.
• 15:29
  But I was like, that's one of the strangest things I've seen in a long time.
• 15:33
  You've got a lot of time on your hands probably, too. That was probably just making her happy.
• 15:36
  Yeah. What's a strange thing that you've noticed lately? I saw two turkeys doing it yesterday.
• 15:41
  What does that even look like? Where is that area for them? Like same. Like a dog.
• 15:47
  Okay. So they mount. Yeah. I've been taking a new way home because it's giving
• 15:52
  me, there's a, something happened like a couple of years ago where like being
• 15:56
  out of the city is giving me great joy.
• 15:59
  Yeah. So I'm taking like a different route home takes like two minutes longer,
• 16:02
  but it's all through the countryside. And. Did you watch?
• 16:07
  I just passed by. I was doing 55. So I. Two seconds. Two seconds.
• 16:10
  Two seconds. I was just like, get it, guy.
• 16:12
  And that was it. And I said it out loud to myself. I'm like, get it. Get it.
• 16:16
  But I never, like, I'm not a city guy, but I'm also not a country bumpkin,
• 16:22
  so I'd never seen two turkeys doing it before.
• 16:24
  Yeah. And there's a spot that I drive by where I've noticed there are probably
• 16:28
  a half a dozen wild turkeys all the time.
• 16:31
  So I know to slow down a little bit because I don't want to clip one.
• 16:34
  But they're right on the side of the road showing it off for everyone.
• 16:37
  Like, this guy's like, look at me.
• 16:38
  Yeah. Yeah. I'm the big gobbler. Get it. He was getting it. I just remember going, get it.
• 16:43
  Good for him. I just kind of moved on. You think she woke up today, she's like, oh, God.
• 16:47
  Get away. Probably not. What did I even do last night? Probably not.
• 16:51
  So what's the weirdest thing you've seen lately?
• 16:54
  Somebody had texted in what you saw at Aldi the other day is a direct...
• 16:59
  Response to somebody who had worked retail previously in life.
• 17:03
  You think this woman was like 80?
• 17:05
  Yeah, she was definitely in her 80s. She was very slumped over.
• 17:08
  She was tiny, tiny little woman.
• 17:09
  And so she was like facing and I used to work at a grocery store.
• 17:14
  That was my job from like midnight to three.
• 17:16
  I would face the aisle. So everything looked great.
• 17:19
  And she was doing it to all the soups, all the pastas, just making her way down the aisle.
• 17:25
  And I was like, man, To have OCD, I wouldn't wish that on anybody because it's
• 17:30
  like you can't move forward in life without doing these.
• 17:33
  You have those intrusive thoughts. That has to be really tough.
• 17:36
  So we just thought, what's the weirdest thing you've seen lately?
• 17:39
  Yesterday I saw a couple of turkeys getting freaky. Yeah, that's crazy.
• 17:43
  Tom was after it. So I want to bring Dave on the show. I appreciate you holding.
• 17:47
  We know this has to do with New York.
• 17:49
  So tell us what's the weirdest thing you've seen lately?
• 17:52
  Okay, my wife and I went to this grocery store in New York.
• 17:55
  Okay. So were you on vacation, obviously?
• 17:57
  Yeah, yeah. We're just visiting family. We had a wedding in town.
• 18:00
  Okay. And they have this, I guess, like cameras and a software where it's like facial recognition.
• 18:05
  And it's like, whatever, there's signs, you will be recorded.
• 18:08
  We have facial recognition, whatever.
• 18:09
  And we go inside and apparently they like save your data and like remember what you bought.
• 18:16
  So we're going down the store and the grocery cart, I guess, is electric.
• 18:19
  And it's trying to like steer us in a direction. It's like, oh, we recognize you.
• 18:23
  Come back to this section. And I went to the grocery store once before I took my wife there. Yeah.
• 18:29
  You know, tell her. And I was like, you know, I bought ice cream.
• 18:31
  I didn't bring her in. I had it myself.
• 18:33
  And she was like, why is it bringing us to the ice cream section?
• 18:35
  And I'm like, I don't know. This is technology. Who knows? Maybe her face looks like someone else.
• 18:38
  And she took it out. She said, you came here before. You got ice cream without
• 18:41
  me. And I was like, whatever. So this machine is like snitching on me.
• 18:43
  And it's got my face. And I don't know.
• 18:45
  This is wigging me out. Hold on one second.
• 18:48
  I'm not ready for this. Biometrics. I'm not ready to go to the grocery store
• 18:52
  and have the cart guide me to the place I shop most often. Yeah.
• 18:57
  I mean, talk about Big Brother. I don't need my cart to, like,
• 19:01
  pull me. So, in my car right now, I have that lane.
• 19:04
  Like, it will drive itself, the car will. It'll keep you inside the lane.
• 19:08
  But if I go past a lane where you would merge left to go across a highway or
• 19:12
  something, it will yank my wheel. Yeah. You know?
• 19:15
  Which is super scary in slippery conditions. Yeah. Because you feel like you're
• 19:19
  sliding off the road, and it's just adjusting for you.
• 19:21
  For the people that, like, sleep in their cars and trust their car like that,
• 19:24
  like Tesla people, that is not a good idea.
• 19:27
  Well, it still has to see your eyes, and it wants to feel your hands on the wheel.
• 19:30
  Can you imagine, though, like, knowing exactly what you need to get at the grocery
• 19:33
  store, and then it pulls you a different direction...
• 19:36
  The only way that it would be good for grocery stores is that you're going to
• 19:41
  spend more money. Like you're in there just for milk and honey, and that's it.
• 19:44
  And then you go. You've never gone in. I've never gone to the grocery store for just milk and honey.
• 19:48
  But then you go in and they're like, no, you went to the cereal aisle last time.
• 19:52
  You need some more cereal. You need to go get lunch meat.
• 19:55
  I don't want the grocery store knowing what I, I don't mind if I,
• 19:59
  if I'm going to do a curbside pickup or something like that.
• 20:01
  I don't mind you knowing what I'm eating, but I don't want that to be general public now.
• 20:08
  If you look back on your yearbook, did you get to have a senior quote? No.
• 20:15
  My favorite of all time is from Abigail Ho, who said, I've been a ho my whole life.
• 20:24
  That's my all-time favorite. I cannot believe they let that slide.
• 20:29
  She has. She's been a ho her entire life. I mean, she's paying homage to her family name.
• 20:34
  So I thought, what if you could go back, when you hit our point in life,
• 20:40
  wherever you are, and you could re-quote your senior year, what would your new
• 20:46
  quote be under your picture, Kat?
• 20:48
  Probably, like, I finally learned how to write good.
• 20:53
  You know, like, really just make them say, damn it.
• 20:58
  That's what we're putting out there to the world. Lisa sent in an actual picture
• 21:02
  of hers and below hers is a senior quote. It says I'm way cuter in person.
• 21:07
  That's good. Good job, Lisa. I think mine would be.
• 21:11
  They can all call you fat, stupid and ugly, but you've never licked a butthole.
• 21:21
  So I got that going for me. But I know. I know. I know.
• 21:28
  Okay, well, good for you. No one likes a bragger, but... You can't say the same, huh?
• 21:33
  No, I can definitely say the same. That's a dumpster.
• 21:36
  Let's get your senior quote. If you could rewrite your senior quote.
• 21:41
  I want to say good morning to Ashley who texted in. My parents got divorced my senior year.
• 21:44
  So mine now would be, don't let other people's choices reflect your own.
• 21:50
  Okay. I like that. That's deep.
• 21:51
  If you could rewrite your senior quote today based on how your life is going, what would it say?
• 21:58
  It was 13 years ago today on our show that we had a job shadow,
• 22:06
  That came in here and was the most nervous young man I had ever met in my life.
• 22:13
  But now he works for the city.
• 22:16
  Yeah. So here's the story. This kid comes in. He shows up, I don't know,
• 22:20
  five, six minutes in front of six o'clock. His mom had dropped him off.
• 22:23
  And he just kind of sat in the corner.
• 22:26
  Just taking it all in as they normally do. At the time, we had like a studio
• 22:30
  cam in here that would videotape everything that was going on.
• 22:33
  And I don't know, we broadcast, I don't know, on Twitch or something.
• 22:36
  And, and over the course of the morning, we'd notice his nerves building up.
• 22:42
  And like for us every day to hit the button and, you know, talk to hundreds
• 22:46
  of thousands of people, it's not that big of a deal.
• 22:47
  Yeah. But for him, he was very, very nervous to be in here. Didn't want to be
• 22:51
  on the air at all. Just wanted to observe.
• 22:53
  Then the pacing started and we're like, he's kind of making us feel strange.
• 22:57
  Why don't you sit down, brother?
• 22:59
  And he takes a seat behind me to my left and I can see Kat's eyes kind of darting
• 23:04
  over at him every once in a while.
• 23:05
  And all of a sudden he lunges towards the
• 23:08
  garbage pail and misses it
• 23:11
  misses it and throws up all over the carpeting
• 23:14
  in the studio and you're like we have carpet no we have carpet on the walls
• 23:17
  just to deaden the sound right and to keep the acoustics right and he throws
• 23:21
  up all over it and and we're like dude can you call your mom maybe she should
• 23:25
  come back and get you oh that's fine she's just sitting outside yeah so I hadn't
• 23:28
  realized that this mom had dropped her son off for a job shadow.
• 23:32
  She was going to sit outside for three hours. And he's in high school.
• 23:35
  And eventually what had happened is this video went pretty viral of him throwing
• 23:40
  up all over our studio wall.
• 23:42
  And it got to the point where he went to school and took a whole bunch of grief from fellow students.
• 23:47
  But then it got so bad that people started calling his parents home.
• 23:52
  They had a landline at the time.
• 23:54
  And this is like 11 o'clock at night. And they would answer.
• 23:57
  They'd go, hello and people just go and apparently
• 24:01
  this happened so much that mom and dad had
• 24:03
  contacted our boss and said hey is there any way you guys
• 24:06
  could take that down and by the time we looked to take it down
• 24:09
  i mean it had hundreds of thousands of views but now we look back and we can
• 24:13
  laugh oh it was so funny and he's married he's moved on with life you know normally
• 24:18
  when something like that happens in adolescence that like will stunt you or
• 24:23
  bring you down the wrong path but i mean he good guy.
• 24:28
  I mean, the poor parents, they're just like, oh, it's such a traumatic thing for the kid.
• 24:33
  And then everyone's calling and I felt bad about it and we took it down.
• 24:36
  But I remember digging in too when our boss pulls us in the office.
• 24:40
  I'm like, hey, that's our video. It's getting tons of hits. And then he finally goes,
• 24:45
  do the right thing. And I'm like, all right, we'll take it down.
• 24:48
  So that's the big anniversary today, the day anniversary of the wall throw-offs.
• 24:52
  A couple in Iowa has created a new type of non-alcoholic mocktails.
• 24:57
  Mocktails are a big thing right now. People are drinking less than ever,
• 25:01
  and they just want to focus on more healthier options, like incorporating mushrooms.
• 25:06
  Of us being in that sober and sober curious category, we like,
• 25:09
  well, we'd still want like something fun to drink because I'm tired of carrying
• 25:12
  around water or like a pop or poppy or whatever it was.
• 25:16
  We were kind of trying to bridge that gap between just any beverages like a beer or a wine.
• 25:21
  And then, you know, THC beverages are another really big one right now versus
• 25:25
  this is not really giving you any sort of psychoactive effect.
• 25:28
  Sober curious. That's the first time I've heard that term. I know.
• 25:31
  I don't like it. You mean like when you wake up? So you want to feel like he mentioned poppy.
• 25:37
  Have you ever tried poppy? Does Trisha drink poppy? It's really good
• 25:40
  for your gut it has probiotics yeah i know what you're talking about she's
• 25:43
  had that before so the husband and wife the
• 25:46
  owners and creators of that just sold it to pepsi for
• 25:49
  how much do you think i mean they're good 10 million
• 25:52
  for life 1.9 billion dollars they
• 25:55
  sold that line because everybody is drinking
• 25:58
  it so um yeah it's just another option out
• 26:02
  there amongst so many options of drinks this
• 26:05
  squirrel and squirrels uh uh him
• 26:08
  and all of his friends they are wreaking havoc in a
• 26:11
  town in california and sending people to
• 26:14
  the emergency room they're just attacking for no reason clomped on to my leg
• 26:18
  and it was just hanging on his tail was flying up here you know and i was like
• 26:22
  get off me get off me and i kind of didn't want to touch it well yeah i mean
• 26:26
  that's one of the victims most girls understand english so if you tell them
• 26:29
  to get off you they usually react that way.
• 26:31
  They go back to the tree. They're like, well, did she tell you to get off her?
• 26:34
  Yeah, she did, multiple times. She's a savage. Yeah.
