0:00
Speaker 1: Today's variety, Big ninety eight point seven. Well, don't be surprised.
0:03
Speaker 2: If you look outside in the next hour, you might
0:05
Speaker 2: see some flurries. Nothing that's really going to stick around,
0:07
Speaker 2: and it might just blow right past us at midwest
0:09
Speaker 2: blizzards day in South and today we are going to
0:11
Speaker 2: get some clouds high of above forty eight.
0:13
Speaker 1: Well, we have some good news.
0:16
Speaker 3: I guess if you are into the astronauts who have
0:19
Speaker 3: spent way too long in the International Space Station, they.
0:23
Speaker 1: Are finally on their way home Sunny.
0:26
Speaker 3: Williams and Butch officially wrapped up their unexpected nine months
0:29
Speaker 3: stay aboard the ISSS that was the result of issues
0:33
Speaker 3: with their Boeing Starliner spacecraft. They're returning to Earth in
0:38
Speaker 3: space in the in a SpaceX capsule excuse me, that
0:42
Speaker 3: docked at the station over the weekend. Is splash down
0:45
Speaker 3: off the Florida coast. Is expected just before six pm
0:48
Speaker 3: Eastern time, so according to my Fargo math, that'd be
0:52
Speaker 3: five o'clock tonight.
0:53
Speaker 2: I am so excited to see them land, mainly because,
0:57
Speaker 2: and it kind of brought this up a little bit yesterday.
1:00
Speaker 2: I am more intrigued with the aftermath. You've been somewhere
1:04
Speaker 2: up in space for nine months and just coming back
1:08
Speaker 2: down to Earth and gravity and all of that. They
1:11
Speaker 2: said that immediately when they land they have to put
1:14
Speaker 2: them in a wheelchair or some sort of chair because
1:17
Speaker 2: they can't get grounded.
1:18
Speaker 3: Oh, they probably feel like they weigh a thousand pounds
1:22
Speaker 3: and they just floating around your weigh nothing.
1:24
Speaker 2: Got to go through a rehab and everything. And I
1:26
Speaker 2: have not seen seven one two eight HO one d
1:28
Speaker 2: e E seven. If there is some sort of documentary, I
1:30
Speaker 2: would love to follow, and maybe they're going to do
1:32
Speaker 2: something like this sure their journey back to I guess
1:36
Speaker 2: normalacy just in general.
1:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, this story has made me realize I didn't know
1:42
Speaker 3: I was this passionate about this until seven forty two
1:45
Speaker 3: this morning. I think I'm just kind of done with space,
1:49
Speaker 3: Like I'm over it. I think just trying to get
1:51
Speaker 3: to the moon and going and floating around amongst the
1:54
Speaker 3: stars is completely pointless.
1:57
Speaker 1: Now.
1:57
Speaker 3: I know that's probably not true. I'm sure there's some
1:59
Speaker 3: benefit or whatever, but really not really. I don't know
2:03
Speaker 3: how many benefits I've received from space, So I'm kind
2:05
Speaker 3: of just over it.
2:07
Speaker 1: You just don't want them to go ever, Well, is it.
2:10
Speaker 1: At what point? Is it not just kind of a
2:11
Speaker 1: waste of money at this point?
2:13
Speaker 3: Oh well, I'm just I'm curious what we get from
2:16
Speaker 3: space other than we scratch our exp exploring itch.
2:23
Speaker 2: I would like to think they're the ones selling us
2:24
Speaker 2: that that big asteroid was supposed to be coming. Remember everybody,
2:28
Speaker 2: I was thinking out a couple of weeks ago, like,
2:30
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, it's a sendimeter closer to us. Yeah,
2:33
Speaker 2: and then they were wrong. I just don't understand, so
2:36
Speaker 2: I am pleading ignorant. I don't get it.
2:38
Speaker 3: I don't know the uses of us going to space
2:42
Speaker 3: other than you get home and you get a big
2:44
Speaker 3: bragging story at Thanksgiving. I mean, going to space is
2:48
Speaker 3: something point zero zero zero zero zero zero. One percent
2:52
Speaker 3: of the population on Earth gets to experience.
2:56
Speaker 2: So like the ladies, what is it, Gail King, Katy Perry,
2:59
Speaker 2: They're also to be going up and down. So I've
3:02
Speaker 2: been back. I guess right, in a few weeks. I
3:05
Speaker 2: think it is right you have that opportunity. That's just
3:08
Speaker 2: a no for you who cares.
3:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just don't see any benefit to being up there.
3:14
Speaker 2: You don't think it would be cool to be up there?
3:16
Speaker 2: See trust me. I have kids, and I'm not doing it.
3:21
Speaker 2: Like that's too big of a risk. I feel like
3:24
Speaker 2: I'm good not risking it, not coming back, or me
3:28
Speaker 2: not making it.
3:29
Speaker 3: Any chance of me doing something that's supposed to last
3:33
Speaker 3: last seven days that now lasts upwards of close to
3:36
Speaker 3: a year, I'm out, you know what I mean. I
3:39
Speaker 3: have a wife I really care about. I love my
3:41
Speaker 3: friends and family. I don't need to be in space
3:45
Speaker 3: until we find some type of space bug or medicine
3:50
Speaker 3: that's gonna eat tumors and cure cancer. I don't really
3:53
Speaker 3: get it why we need to be wasting all this
3:56
Speaker 3: money going to space. You are so passionate about one
3:59
Speaker 3: two eight zero seven? Can you text me and give
4:01
Speaker 3: me a call?
4:02
Speaker 1: Whatever?
4:03
Speaker 3: What is the point of going to space other than
4:07
Speaker 3: a handful of people get to brag about it at
4:10
Speaker 3: the fourth of July.
4:11
Speaker 2: If I had an answer, I'd tell you I'm also
4:13
Speaker 2: over here in the dark. Now here's what you need
4:20
Speaker 2: to know. President Trump claim yesterday the pardon is issued
4:23
Speaker 2: by former President Biden are invalid because they were signed
4:26
Speaker 2: using an auto pen. Here's what the White House pre
4:29
Speaker 2: secretary had to say about it.
4:30
Speaker 4: But the President was raising the point that did the
4:33
Speaker 4: president even know about these pardons? Was his legal signature
4:38
Speaker 4: used without his consent or knowledge.
4:41
Speaker 2: I didn't know about the autopen got me question in
4:44
Speaker 2: it you had googled if other people had used it.
4:47
Speaker 2: I think President Obama used it at one point when
4:49
Speaker 2: he was overseas to sign something sure back.
4:52
Speaker 1: In the day.
4:53
Speaker 2: But they're just thinking maybe he had no idea what
4:56
Speaker 2: was going on and somebody was using the.
4:58
Speaker 1: Old auto pen.
4:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, car Roll in the mail room was just helping
5:01
Speaker 3: out some dudes apart. Oh god, I did have to
5:05
Speaker 3: look that up, and I you know, that probably a
5:07
Speaker 3: super stupid question, but I felt a lot better if
5:09
Speaker 3: you go to Google at least here maybe the computer's listening.
5:12
Speaker 3: But if you type in what is the first thing
5:16
Speaker 3: that showed up on the search was an auto pen?
5:18
Speaker 1: Everybody wanted to know what was going on there. Yeah.
5:21
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, President Trump does plan to speak with Putin today
5:24
Speaker 2: about ending the invasion in Ukraine, and Trump said discussions
5:27
Speaker 2: would center on land and power plants. Ukraine has agreed
5:31
Speaker 2: to a thirty day US backseas ceasefire proposal that would
5:35
Speaker 2: temporarily halt the fighting that has been raging on which
5:38
Speaker 2: blew my mind. Honestly, they've been fighting and invading Ukraine
5:43
Speaker 2: for three years.
5:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you.
5:45
Speaker 2: Kind of lose track of time, I know, my gosh,
5:48
Speaker 2: And are we going.
5:49
Speaker 1: To get a little relief?
5:50
Speaker 2: Egg prices are starting to drop. Wholesale egg prices have
5:54
Speaker 2: fallen for the third consecutive week. The national average was
5:57
Speaker 2: about eight dollars and fifty eight cents at the end
5:59
Speaker 2: of the FEBUS. Now they're saying the average is four
6:02
Speaker 2: dollars and eighty three cents. I just went over to
6:05
Speaker 2: a grocery order just to kind of look old right now,
6:07
Speaker 2: six fifty nine here Locally, they do say that even
6:10
Speaker 2: though they're going down, it could take about a week
6:12
Speaker 2: or so before supermarkets start dropping them.
6:15
Speaker 1: Eggs are seven dollars right now for a dozen. Wow,
6:20
Speaker 1: I think we got brown eggs last time. Are those
6:23
Speaker 1: ones more expensive? Yeah? Usually cage three? Who bought the
6:27
Speaker 1: eggs last at my house? I was wasting those away
6:31
Speaker 1: all weekend?
6:32
Speaker 3: You know?
6:33
Speaker 1: Are you using them in them? Yeah? Of course.
6:35
Speaker 3: But I'm saying, I can you lean your body? I
6:38
Speaker 3: could have went with three instead of five, you know
6:40
Speaker 3: what I mean?
6:41
Speaker 1: People are starting to do that.
6:42
Speaker 2: I told you that one day, I was whipping up
6:44
Speaker 2: what was it, banana ut muffins for the kids, and
6:47
Speaker 2: I did two eggs. I'm like, what could be a
6:49
Speaker 2: little substitute here? And I threw in some Greek yok.
6:51
Speaker 3: I wonder if we purposefully got the brown ones, or
6:54
Speaker 3: if we did the pickup order deal and they had
6:57
Speaker 3: to substitute because they were out of the white ones
6:59
Speaker 3: because people are stock enough.
7:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, would not surprise me one bit. All Right, we
7:02
Speaker 2: could get some flurries kind of rolling through the next
7:04
Speaker 2: hour and a half. Nothing that's gonna stick around, thankfully.
7:06
Speaker 2: This Midwest blizzard is gonna stay south of us. Today,
7:09
Speaker 2: gonna be mostly cloudy and to hi A.
7:11
Speaker 3: Forty Today's Variety Big ninety eight point.
7:15
Speaker 1: Seven, it's gonna be cloudy today.
7:17
Speaker 2: I have about forty March Madness underway today, Amanda, Are
7:22
Speaker 2: you a big giant March Madness fan?
7:25
Speaker 1: You know, I'm really not. I'll watch some of the games.
7:27
Speaker 2: My husband totally gets into it every once in a while.
7:31
Speaker 2: I'll take a peek this time. Once we get to
7:33
Speaker 2: the Elite eight, I start investing. And then if there's
7:36
Speaker 2: a Cinderella story, yeah, you just kind of jump on
7:38
Speaker 2: and you're like, Okay, this is this is awesome.
7:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree with that. I I love I.
7:44
Speaker 3: Don't know what you count? Do you count today? Today
7:47
Speaker 3: is like the initial four play in games. I don't
7:50
Speaker 3: know if fight.
7:51
Speaker 2: I feel like everybody kind of goes Thursday for the
7:53
Speaker 2: official day of March Madness. But yeah, I mean, any
7:58
Speaker 2: excuse for people to start watching basket ball and you know,
8:02
Speaker 2: be a little checked out.
8:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would argue Thursday and Friday are some of
8:08
Speaker 3: the best days if you're a sports fan of the
8:11
Speaker 3: entire year. You know, there's the Masters Tournament, the super Bowl,
8:14
Speaker 3: there's March Madness beginning or the opening couple of days,
8:17
Speaker 3: because there's just you can literally watch basketball all day
8:20
Speaker 3: on fifty different channels.
8:23
Speaker 1: It's awesome. So do you get into it? Do you
8:25
Speaker 1: put together a bracket?
8:27
Speaker 3: I do a bracket just about every year, and I'll
8:31
Speaker 3: do if there's a team I really like or whatever,
8:34
Speaker 3: I'll fill that out. But I have began over the
8:37
Speaker 3: past like five six years. I'll just ask Corey which
8:39
Speaker 3: mascot she likes better, because like, realistically, no way, oh yeah, yeah, realistically,
8:45
Speaker 3: you know, I don't know anything about Loyola or Marquette basketball.
8:50
Speaker 3: I'm not watching Clemson basketball on a Tuesday evening, so
8:54
Speaker 3: I don't really know.
8:54
Speaker 1: It's all right, I just let.
8:56
Speaker 3: It writ And these brackets might have a direct issue
9:00
Speaker 3: with the productivity at work for you. March Madness obviously
9:04
Speaker 3: begins this week, potential to boost the economy with billions
9:08
Speaker 3: of dollars. The issue is is a lot of people
9:13
Speaker 3: claim to be distracted, and I use that quotes distracted
9:17
Speaker 3: while on the clock. Forty percent of people also admit
9:21
Speaker 3: to calling in sick to watching big basketball games during
9:25
Speaker 3: this tournament. The basketball tournament begins obviously tomorrow, and it
9:29
Speaker 3: runs through April six.
9:30
Speaker 2: At this point, though, I mean, if you're all in
9:32
Speaker 2: on something like this, don't you just include this in
9:34
Speaker 2: your vacation time or you have your meetings out of
9:38
Speaker 2: the office or whatever it may be.
9:40
Speaker 1: Working from home today.
9:41
Speaker 3: Guys, Yeah, that one o'clock lunch beer.
9:44
Speaker 1: You know why fake it? That's what I'll never have.
9:47
Speaker 1: Embrace it or what have you.
9:49
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, well you know what, Amanda, I vow to
9:52
Speaker 3: not let March madness distract me from six am to
9:55
Speaker 3: nine am any day until April six. You're lucky, they
9:58
Speaker 3: don't They started like nine oh one in the morning.
10:03
Speaker 3: Today's variety Big ninety eight point seven.
10:04
Speaker 2: All right, we could get a few flurries this morning.
10:06
Speaker 2: Nothing that's going to stick around. That Midwest blizzard is
10:09
Speaker 2: staying south of US today, going to be cloudy and
10:11
Speaker 2: a high a forty.
10:13
Speaker 1: You ready ready thattsy is piping hot today and now
10:18
Speaker 1: Amanda fills the sea wook see Ratchy by JD. P. Electrag.
10:23
Speaker 2: The mystery surrounding the deaths of Gene Hackman and his
10:25
Speaker 2: wife Betsy continue. Now there is a physician who is
10:28
Speaker 2: claiming he received a phone call from Betsy on February twelve.
10:32
Speaker 1: Why is that so alarming?
10:34
Speaker 2: Well, because everybody said she died on February eleventh, the
10:37
Speaker 2: medical examiners, that's what they were believing, because I believe
10:41
Speaker 2: she was on video at a grocery store and then
10:45
Speaker 2: she had never been heard from again. Well, now this
10:47
Speaker 2: physician is saying she actually had an appointment for herself
10:51
Speaker 2: on February twelve. She called ultimately canceled the appointment on
10:54
Speaker 2: February tenth because her husband was not well. However, she
10:57
Speaker 2: called the office back the morning of the twelve and
11:00
Speaker 2: spoke to the doctors and they said, you can come
11:02
Speaker 2: in this afternoon.
11:04
Speaker 1: She made the appointment, but she never showed up.
11:06
Speaker 2: So they're basically just putting in a hole in the
11:08
Speaker 2: story that it was the day before that she had
11:11
Speaker 2: passed and it was within twenty four hours. I don't
11:14
Speaker 2: know how to say this without feeling insensitive. I understand
11:17
Speaker 2: that they were dead for quite some time, which is horrifying.
11:21
Speaker 2: Does that matter, I mean, there was just a few hours.
11:23
Speaker 2: I just feel like.
11:24
Speaker 3: We're now Can are those time of death things? Is
11:29
Speaker 3: it like an exact down to the minute. I thought
11:32
Speaker 3: there was like a window of hours of time. Well,
11:35
Speaker 3: if it's like a six hour window, if it's.
11:38
Speaker 2: Not suspicious, if we're not doing a dateline case, thinking
11:41
Speaker 2: somebody came into their home broken.
11:44
Speaker 3: Well and with the kids on the will yet is
11:46
Speaker 3: what I'm discovering. Maybe these kids are absolute dirt bags.
11:50
Speaker 1: Maybe the kids are scummy.
11:52
Speaker 2: No, gosh, don't even put that in the atmosphere. I
11:54
Speaker 2: feel like it was just a tragic story.
11:58
Speaker 1: I mean all the way around, and oh yeah, yeah,
12:02
Speaker 1: this I feel that.
12:06
Speaker 2: Feel bad for Kim Kardashian, and I think a lot
12:08
Speaker 2: of people do at this point, because how do you
12:11
Speaker 2: control what's going on with Kanye.
12:13
Speaker 1: You can't, You simply cannot.
12:14
Speaker 2: She's debating taking legal action to strip Kanye of joint
12:17
Speaker 2: legal custody. She wants them to have a relationship with
12:20
Speaker 2: the kids and wants them to be able to have that,
12:24
Speaker 2: but doesn't want it to come along with all the
12:27
Speaker 2: other stuff that's going on. If you missed it, we
12:28
Speaker 2: played the audio for you. Yesterday. He released a song
12:32
Speaker 2: with Diddy and his daughter Northwest, and Kim Kardashian had
12:36
Speaker 2: said absolutely not. She had sent him a some sort
12:40
Speaker 2: of agreement or document saying you cannot do this, and
12:42
Speaker 2: he just ignored it and went on anyway doing it right.
12:46
Speaker 1: That alone is just frustrating.
12:47
Speaker 2: Well, then he's still on social media, just making wild comments.
12:52
Speaker 2: He's now saying he's putting together a choir to cover
12:55
Speaker 2: one of his songs. He's looking for volunteers. They must
12:57
Speaker 2: be males. They must have the skin complexion of day
13:00
Speaker 2: or darker. They also must shave their head, no fat people,
13:03
Speaker 2: and must be comfortable to wear swastikas. At this point,
13:07
Speaker 2: we just got we gotta be done. And why can't
13:09
Speaker 2: they take down his social media? I feel like they
13:12
Speaker 2: did X right or did he delete it? I can't
13:15
Speaker 2: keep up.
13:15
Speaker 1: I can't remember.
13:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if Elon stepped in put an
13:18
Speaker 3: end to that, or if he did it himself.
13:20
Speaker 1: That's a good question. I don't know. I feel I guess.
13:22
Speaker 3: I never thought I would say this in my life,
13:24
Speaker 3: but I do genuinely feel bad for Kim trying to
13:28
Speaker 3: navigate that as a.
13:29
Speaker 2: Mom with h and kids that are old enough to
13:32
Speaker 2: know exactly what's going on. And I hate to say
13:35
Speaker 2: that Northwest is upon in this a little bit, but
13:37
Speaker 2: she she loves her dad, she wants to be an artist,
13:40
Speaker 2: so she's been making music with him right at the
13:43
Speaker 2: same time, what he's doing is so inappropriate.
13:46
Speaker 1: I can't Oh. I do not envy that situation. No,
13:49
Speaker 1: not a little, not even a little bit. Welcome this morning,
13:53
Speaker 1: and one of.
13:53
Speaker 2: The first headlines I saw was Swifties are losing their
13:56
Speaker 2: minds because of last night's iHeart Music Awards appearance and
14:00
Speaker 2: what was going on, And right away, right away, my
14:03
Speaker 2: heart went too.
14:04
Speaker 1: Did they get engaged? Did they see an engagement ring?
14:07
Speaker 1: Not the case.
14:08
Speaker 2: Taylor did appear on video accepting an award, but she
14:11
Speaker 2: wore a snake choker around her neck, leading people to
14:14
Speaker 2: believe that reputation Taylor's version is finally coming soon. Even
14:19
Speaker 2: flavor Flave jumped in the comments, saying this necklace though,
14:21
Speaker 2: if you know, you know, we'll see.
14:24
Speaker 1: Oh that's all it is is about the album.
14:26
Speaker 3: I was wondering if it was like some kind of tate,
14:29
Speaker 3: like spicyiness or something.
14:33
Speaker 1: I will be the first to admit I'm not up
14:35
Speaker 1: to date. Snake tailor.

14:58
Speaker 2: Ah?

15:05
Speaker 1: So I also folded after do you really want a guy? Yeah?
15:09
Speaker 1: But do you put it away?
15:11
Speaker 3: I'll tell you. I'll be honest. I don't even fold

Speaker 3: it either. We hang up our clothes, so it's not folding.
15:16
Speaker 3: It's laying out flat, is what It's really cold.
15:19
Speaker 2: Well, there is a girl who has gone viral on TikTok,

Speaker 2: do you go about? What is your process? After you
15:27
Speaker 2: put the clothes in?
15:28

15:31
Speaker 3: So my step by step close in, I grab the soap,
15:35
Speaker 3: I fill the little cup halfway or whatever the lote
15:39
Speaker 3: wherever the line is with soap, and then I just
15:42
Speaker 3: chuck the cap thing with the soap in it in
15:45
Speaker 3: the washing machine and I start it. My mom started
15:48
Speaker 3: or my mom was doing that when I was a kid,
15:50
Speaker 3: So I just kind of have continued on the tradition.
15:53
Speaker 3: For real, you put the cup in there, I would
15:55
Speaker 3: say most of the time, I'm sure. Sometimes I just
15:58
Speaker 3: swill it around in Do you have a toploader? Uh?
16:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
16:03
Speaker 2: So this is super interesting because this woman has gone
16:06
Speaker 2: viral because she called her boyfriend out for doing exactly
16:10
Speaker 2: what you do, throwing the cap and she said, and
16:14
Speaker 2: I quote, what is he doing? This is insane behavior,
16:19
Speaker 2: Like there is nobody who does that, is what she's saying.
16:22
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I do that, And so many people on
16:24
Speaker 2: the internet are doing the exact same thing. I had
16:27
Speaker 2: never heard about putting the cup in. Well, there is
16:30
Speaker 2: your liquid laundry detergent.
16:32
Speaker 3: There is a reason I do that, though, when you
16:35
Speaker 3: fill it with soap and then you you know, drop
16:38
Speaker 3: it in there or spin it around because I try
16:40
Speaker 3: to get rolling around in there. The cap still has
16:43
Speaker 3: soap residue on it, so in my brain, when I
16:46
Speaker 3: toss it in there, the cap kind of also gets
16:48
Speaker 3: washed as well, So if you've got soap crust when
16:51
Speaker 3: I'm putting it back.
16:52
Speaker 2: So when you have the top load, then you I
16:55
Speaker 2: would always used to rinse it with the water that
16:59
Speaker 2: was coming out of there, and then then I would.
17:02
Speaker 1: Put the lid back on. That's very smart.
17:04
Speaker 2: This is some wild laundry detergent talk, I gotta tell you,
17:07
Speaker 2: because we had brought this up probably two years ago.
17:10
Speaker 2: We have it's there's so much going on with these
17:14
Speaker 2: new washing machines. We have the front loader, yep, but
17:19
Speaker 2: then you have the cup thing in the top.
17:21
Speaker 1: Yeah.
17:21
Speaker 2: Well, I was putting the two little laundry pods because
17:25
Speaker 2: I've graduated from the soap, the liquid soap to the pods.
17:30
Speaker 2: So I was putting the pods in the top.
17:32
Speaker 1: Yeah.
17:33
Speaker 2: Well, then I would open it and sometimes they like
17:35
Speaker 2: would dissolve, like wouldn't dissolve. So then I found out
17:38
Speaker 2: I was putting them in the wrong little spot up there.
17:40
Speaker 2: Because one said liquid only. So then I just started
17:43
Speaker 2: flailing the two pods in with the laundry, and people
17:47
Speaker 2: called me out saying that was insane behavior.
17:50
Speaker 1: Really, So now I've gone back to putting.
17:52
Speaker 2: Them in the top where it says liquid only.
17:56
Speaker 1: Okay, And my husband is just so stressed about it all.
17:58
Speaker 2: He's like, I'm just not doing it, Like he's refusing,
18:01
Speaker 2: probably for all the reasons, but what is the right way?
18:05
Speaker 2: Like it makes me want to go back to getting
18:07
Speaker 2: liquid detergent because it says liquid.
18:09
Speaker 1: Detergent right there. Yeah, there's nowhere for the pod.
18:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're taking a lot less risk I think with
18:15
Speaker 3: the liquid detergent. I did not realize throwing the cap
18:18
Speaker 3: in there though, made me a psychotic person.
18:21
Speaker 1: According to this woman.
18:22
Speaker 2: The best comment of this is somebody said, girl, I
18:25
Speaker 2: never want to take a man's side when it comes
18:28
Speaker 2: to the laundry, but you're wrong.
18:29
Speaker 1: So people are doing that. I had never heard that either.
18:32
Speaker 1: I love that this is what you're doing. Man, Andre,
18:35
Speaker 1: Who knew we could all be so decisive? A rare
18:38
Speaker 1: w for your boy? Here on wait to go Today's Variety,

Speaker 3: we should wear jeans to work.
19:00
Speaker 1: A lot of businesses still do that, Yeah, casual Friday.
19:02

19:09
Speaker 3: casual enough. I have seen it all at this point.
19:13
Speaker 1: What's going on?
19:14
Speaker 2: Have you heard of sweatpant jeans? Ooh, you have my
19:19

19:39
Speaker 3: have flair, they have bell bottom, they have skinny see.
19:43
Speaker 1: I'm here for this.
19:44
Speaker 2: Remember you might not remember this, but back in the
19:46
Speaker 2: day when people were wearing jaggings, when everybody was in
19:50
Speaker 2: the leggings craze jagging, so they'd be jean leggings, so
19:53
Speaker 2: they kind of were like a mock a denim.

Speaker 1: Yeah, be able to rock.
19:57
Speaker 2: Them with boots. I loved that. Now I'm super intrigued
20:01
Speaker 2: by these. This is something I can get behind. It
20:04
Speaker 2: was the other day you were telling me about the
20:05
Speaker 2: plumbers crack What did I call them? Yeah, there's what
20:08

20:24
Speaker 2: and I am all for them.
20:26
Speaker 1: Talking about just getting.
20:29
Speaker 2: Into a position where I, I mean I could wear
20:32
Speaker 2: athletic at leisure wear twenty four to seven.
20:36
Speaker 1: Sure, well I do have.
20:38
Speaker 3: There's like a little tech talk posted on the Big
20:40
Speaker 3: ninety eight point seven facebook page. You can see some
20:43
Speaker 3: of these sweatpant jeans for yourself. I just feel like
20:47
Speaker 3: we are trying to make too many people happy all
20:51
Speaker 3: at once. You know that old saying you try to
20:53
Speaker 3: please everyone? You end up pleasing no one. You're trying
20:56
Speaker 3: to make jeens sweatpants a thing. Just wear the gene.
21:00
Speaker 2: But if it's making everybody comfortable, If I knew that,
21:02
Speaker 2: I could just be comfortable. If I was sitting at
21:04
Speaker 2: work all day and in said it had to unbutton
21:06
Speaker 2: the top button because I had a big lunch, if
21:10
Speaker 2: I just knew I could be in sweatpans, loosen up
21:12
Speaker 2: one of the ties elastic.
21:15
Speaker 1: All day for this girl.
21:16
Speaker 3: I mean, Amanda, we're not the best type of workers
21:20
Speaker 3: to really have this conversation.
21:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, ain't nobody's seeing us.
21:23
Speaker 3: No one sees a thing we wear. I think I've
21:26
Speaker 3: had a hoodie on for five days straight.
21:29
Speaker 1: If you talk like that, nobody will know. Today's variety
21:35
Speaker 1: big ninety eight point seven. Maybe some flurries this morning.
21:37
Speaker 2: Otherwise it is gonna be most in cloudy today and
21:39
Speaker 2: a high a forty.
21:42
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a little trip down yesteryear, Amanda.
21:45
Speaker 3: And when I first saw this, I was like, oh,
21:48
Speaker 3: this will be kind of interesting, and then it kind
21:51
Speaker 3: of made me sad.
21:51
Speaker 1: Halfway through here.
21:53
Speaker 2: I don't know, you need a tissue button kind of
21:55
Speaker 2: a little bit.
21:56
Speaker 1: This is sad. What is going on.
21:59
Speaker 3: What are some things that were around ten years ago
22:02
Speaker 3: that are now becoming basically extinct?
22:04
Speaker 1: And I'm not We're going only ten years ago.
22:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I am not talking about the things you
22:09
Speaker 3: think I'm talking about. I'm not talking about a fashion
22:12
Speaker 3: trend or I'm not talking about a toy that was
22:15
Speaker 3: popular or whatever. Some of these that I found, it's
22:17
Speaker 3: like you kind of raise your eyebrow and you're like, oh.
22:20
Speaker 1: Yikes, like what happened? Okay A right?
22:24
Speaker 3: For example, things that were around every day ten years
22:27
Speaker 3: ago and now kind of sort of extinct. Perfect example,
22:32
Speaker 3: toys in cereal boxes. That was one that made sense.
22:35
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, yeah, that was interesting, blah blah blah.
22:38
Speaker 3: And then I hear something like this small independent hardware
22:43
Speaker 3: stores and or like mid career jobs kind of extinct.
22:48
Speaker 1: Now.
22:48
Speaker 2: See, I love that we live in the Midwest. That
22:51
Speaker 2: is always going to be a thing. Yeah, that's just
22:53
Speaker 2: being like a small town laker.
22:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
22:55
Speaker 2: There's nothing better than the mom and pop yes hardware
22:59
Speaker 2: stores of that.
23:00
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say on that one.
23:03
Speaker 3: So this was also one of the answers that appeared
23:05
Speaker 3: on this internet thing was ownership it's all about subscriptions now,
23:12
Speaker 3: and I don't exactly feel like I understand that completely,
23:15
Speaker 3: but for some reason it feels like it makes sense.
23:17
Speaker 1: Well, you have to subscribe to all of the things everything.
23:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, what about what about twenty four hour businesses? Not
23:27
Speaker 3: very common, not nearly as common as they used to be,
23:30
Speaker 3: is what I'm getting there.
23:31
Speaker 2: I mean, do you remember gym memberships that was like
23:33
Speaker 2: the oh my gosh, I get to go for twenty
23:35
Speaker 2: four hours, which God bless you if you're going in
23:37
Speaker 2: the middle of the night.
23:38
Speaker 1: Obviously, career differences and things like that.
23:40
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean Walmart used to be twenty four
23:45
Speaker 2: to seven.
23:45
Speaker 1: Are they I don't know. I think they're doing at
23:47
Speaker 1: like eleven now. There are a lot of grocery stores
23:51
Speaker 1: used to be Yeah, yep, even I mean, let's.
23:53
Speaker 2: Go the fourth meal for a lot of places right
23:57
Speaker 2: post COVID, A lot of bars are not. But fast
24:01
Speaker 2: food restaurants used to be open till easily two three am.
24:04
Speaker 2: Now you're lucky if if they're open when your kids
24:07
Speaker 2: are done with sports at nine or ten.
24:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, and what's even create this was only ten years
24:12
Speaker 3: a decade, only a decade. I have a couple more
24:15
Speaker 3: for you, and these I think one hundred percent everyone
24:19
Speaker 3: feels and probably sees the effects of this every day
24:23
Speaker 3: attention spans absolutely have narrowed down and dwindled down to nothing.
24:30
Speaker 3: I am one hundred percent guilty of this.
24:33
Speaker 2: We felt this, I think in our generation when Netflix
24:36
Speaker 2: was around, sure that was you know, when it first
24:39
Speaker 2: came out, it was like, oh my gosh, we don't
24:40
Speaker 2: have to have commercials.
24:42
Speaker 1: Well now with our kids using.
24:44
Speaker 2: If they're like watching YouTube kids or they have anything
24:47
Speaker 2: watching my kids, try to get through something like just
24:49
Speaker 2: fast forward it. Oh my gosh, right, urge, I don't
24:53
Speaker 2: need to see this, right, it's increased tremendously, right.
24:57
Speaker 3: And then the last two both kind of involved your
25:00
Speaker 3: phone once again, but real customer service REPS in takes
25:05
Speaker 3: ten minutes to get through the automated whatever just to
25:09
Speaker 3: be able to finally talk to Nancy in accounting to
25:12
Speaker 3: try to get your problem resolved.
25:14
Speaker 2: And even then, you know what I've noticed, and I'm
25:16
Speaker 2: actually okay with this because it you don't have to
25:20
Speaker 2: then wait on hold. There is a service that we
25:23
Speaker 2: had issues with at our home, and you go to
25:25
Speaker 2: contact us, go to their website, and you automatically shoot
25:29
Speaker 2: them a text, so you're chatting with them, so you're
25:31
Speaker 2: texting back and forth. I actually find that to be
25:34
Speaker 2: fantastic really versus sitting on the phone waiting for somebody. Yeah,
25:38
Speaker 2: because the prompts, all of that gets lost in translation,
25:41
Speaker 2: and I just feel like it's better communication.
25:44
Speaker 3: And the prompts do never actually have like they are
25:48
Speaker 3: an umbrella of your question, but they're not your question, and.
25:53
Speaker 2: They got away from Remember when you used to just
25:55
Speaker 2: be able to hit zeros.
25:56
Speaker 1: That was like the trip zero was like, let me
25:59
Speaker 1: talk to somebody, and then the last one.
26:02
Speaker 3: Speaking of the phone, answering phone calls. Now that I
26:06
Speaker 3: have hundred friends that I see no point never calling
26:10
Speaker 3: them again, I'll just text them because they won't answer.
26:12
Speaker 1: No.
26:13
Speaker 3: Now I have tons of friends who will answer all
26:15
Speaker 3: the time, But I have friends that I have no
26:19
Speaker 3: idea why they have a phone.
26:20
Speaker 1: They should just have a text device.
26:22
Speaker 2: I love talking on the phone, Like if I get
26:26
Speaker 2: a miss call from everyone, I'm like, oh my gosh.
26:28
Speaker 2: The worst though is then you call him back instantly
26:30
Speaker 2: and they don't answer, like, oh, I'm sorry to inconvenience
26:33
Speaker 2: you by thirty second.
26:34
Speaker 3: Your phone somehow went from hand to pocket and doesn't
26:38
Speaker 3: work anymore.
26:39
Speaker 4: R
