Speaker 1: Squeamish. Squeamish. If you look up squeamish, if you google squeamish,
Speaker 1: it will say did you mean Bailey? What? Because Bailey
Speaker 1: is Squeamish. I did a magic trick for Bailey off
Speaker 1: the air a little while ago where I stuck a
Speaker 1: long foot long like spike through my tongue and had
Speaker 1: video from Bailey Jay, you weren't here, Jenny, and Bailey
Speaker 1: was like, I can't look, I can't look, and so squeamish,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do that on stage in the State Fair tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, So you're doing a little practice round, yep, yep.
Speaker 1: And then I'm also gonna do one where I take
Speaker 1: a three pronged you know, like I think they call
Speaker 1: it a triplet, I'm not sure, fish hook, treble, I'm
Speaker 1: not sure. And they I'm gonna stick it in my
Speaker 1: mouth on a string and then you pull the string
Speaker 1: to see what happens when it's on the string in
Speaker 1: my mouth.
Speaker 2: That'll be at the stake, be the volunteer for these
Speaker 2: just people in the crowd. People in the crowd, because
Speaker 2: I don't want to.
Speaker 1: Do that, well, no, I get it, Okay, I'm squeamish.
Speaker 1: Let's get started with Juanita. Jannita is back and here
Speaker 1: we go. She says, Hey, y'all, hey wanneda here with
Speaker 1: my end of the week rant about the shit that
Speaker 1: gets on my nerves. First of all, I agree with
Speaker 1: von I hate boba tea. A friend of mine bought
Speaker 1: me one and I insisted I try it. First of all,
Speaker 1: I don't like the fact that that many balls in
Speaker 1: my mouth are at this in my mouth at the
Speaker 1: same time. Lol. Second of all, I want to drink
Speaker 1: my drink, not drink it and eat it at the
Speaker 1: same time. Disgusting. Now onto the rants. Oh, I thought
Speaker 1: that was one. First of all, do either of you
Speaker 1: have a friend that when they tell the story, the
Speaker 1: story goes on and on for no fucking reason. My
Speaker 1: friend of twenty years, I love her dealer dearly, but
Speaker 1: I have to listen to her try and tell you
Speaker 1: about something that happened to her. It's torture. She will
Speaker 1: start the sentence with I woke up around six thirty
Speaker 1: in the morning and I thought I wanted coffee. I
Speaker 1: decided I could drink tea, and then around seven fifteen,
Speaker 1: do you remember the blue suit I bought last week. Well,
Speaker 1: I decided to wear that to work. The story goes
Speaker 1: on and on and on. Then she finally gets to
Speaker 1: the fucking point. So this asshole turns she ought to
Speaker 1: be a stand up comic. Seriously, I would love to
Speaker 1: hear Juananita, if you want to send in a video
Speaker 1: of you doing this, Juan Nita, I'd love to hear
Speaker 1: your vocal delivery, because she sounds like a rant from
Speaker 1: a stand up comic. Yeah, let's continue. I decided where
Speaker 1: that work. Story goes on and on until she finally
Speaker 1: gets the fucking point. This asshole turns out in front
Speaker 1: of me and hits my car. Why the hell that
Speaker 1: I have to listen to thirty minutes of bullshit before
Speaker 1: he got to the fucking point. Damn, hold onto your seats.
Speaker 1: I got one more rant. Well, we make fun of
Speaker 1: people who tell stories on the radio, you know, because
Speaker 1: some people are better storytellers. And I think you when
Speaker 1: you tell a story, it's like, well, let's get to
Speaker 1: the point, and sometimes we do. Jenny and I and
Speaker 1: Steve and Fallon would make some fun of somebody who
Speaker 1: would call in for a worst Date Wednesday, and it
Speaker 1: would be and we love people who call in, But
Speaker 1: people you know, they get nervous and they don't know
Speaker 1: and the details are interesting to them, but not necessarily
Speaker 1: to other people. So if you got hit by a
Speaker 1: car and or you had a worst date Wednesday and
Speaker 1: the guy showed up with his mother and they were
Speaker 1: both drunk, okay, so the story should start like, you know, god,
Speaker 1: I went out with this guy and you wouldn't believe it.
Speaker 1: He seemed great and he was wonderful, but he showed
Speaker 1: up with his mother and they were both drunk. Now
Speaker 1: you can expand on the story, what did you do?
Speaker 1: How drunk were they? Well?
Speaker 2: No, first you said, well, this was his name, and
Speaker 2: I thought he was really cute on Tinder. But then
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't really know him, but I
Speaker 2: decided to give him a shot, so I did, and
Speaker 2: then we, you know, we got it off on a
Speaker 2: good start.
Speaker 3: He was a little bit weird.
Speaker 1: And you and and sometimes when somebody's telling a long story,
Speaker 1: you're not sure whether they've reached the climax yet. So
Speaker 1: you're not sure whether like, yeah, and we got along
Speaker 1: really well on tender and you go and then you
Speaker 1: realize that's not the punchline. So they keep going and
Speaker 1: then they'll say something like and his name was Todd,
Speaker 1: and I dated a guy named Todd once before that
Speaker 1: cheated on me. And that's the end of the story,
Speaker 1: and they keep going going.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now, I don't make fun of people who I mean,
Speaker 1: I will, but there's certain things I can't do. I
Speaker 1: can't dance. I don't dance. I'm not good at it.
Speaker 1: My limbs do not move in coordinated fashion. So we
Speaker 1: all have what are you really bad at? Jenny? You
Speaker 1: stay away.
Speaker 2: From I don't know, I mean referencing movie quotes. I
Speaker 2: feel like Bailey's got that's like her forte. I can't
Speaker 2: do that at all. I'll never say it the right way. Okay,
Speaker 2: Like what is it I love you, Janie? Like I
Speaker 2: don't know, you know how it goes from So, I
Speaker 2: don't know. I'm bad at a lot of things though
Speaker 2: you put me on the spot.
Speaker 1: It's fine, you're bad at being put on the spot, Bailey.
Speaker 1: What are you know you're not? Jenny? What are you
Speaker 1: bad at that you stay away from Bailey? Anything?
Speaker 3: I mean?
Speaker 4: Also plenty of stuff I think, like extemporaneously speaking if
Speaker 4: I'm not prepared, or like if somebody says, Oh, you're
Speaker 4: just gonna make a speech really quick, and I can't
Speaker 4: prepare for that speech.
Speaker 3: I will flounder and it will be really awful.
Speaker 4: Also dancing, I also suck at dancing, Dan really Oh yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm not great at it.
Speaker 1: Hey, you know I saw you do the little TikTok
Speaker 1: dance last week and I thought you did great. A
Speaker 1: little flair with your arms. I think you did fine.
Speaker 3: I got to practice that one and over again.
Speaker 1: One need it goes on and imagine her on stage
Speaker 1: doing stand up comic. I know you guys don't control
Speaker 1: the commercials or the ads on the podcast, but what
Speaker 1: pisses me off is when either you, Dave, Jenny, or
Speaker 1: Bailey is talking in the middle of a sentence. All
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I hear Ryan Seacrest here want to
Speaker 1: talk about chump of casino? What the fuck is chumba casino?
Speaker 1: And who gives a shit? Stop cutting in in the conversation.
Speaker 1: My husband says, the older I get, the more naggy
Speaker 1: Nelly I get. Thanks you guys for listening to my rants.
Speaker 1: Love you have a safe weekend. PS. If I'm not working,
Speaker 1: I hope to visit you with the fair on Saturday.
Speaker 1: I hope so too. One need to have your husband
Speaker 1: get the camera out and do a one minute rant yes,
Speaker 1: and then send it to me, because I would love
Speaker 1: to hear your voice ranting, thank you, Wanita.
Speaker 3: We hope we see you at the fair. Sorry about
Speaker 3: the ads I have no control over.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we really don't. Yeah, I get it. David Associates, Hmmm,
Speaker 1: your thoughts on Susan not having a hobby reminded me
Speaker 1: of my wife because she also doesn't have a hobby
Speaker 1: other than reading books and streaming shows. She doesn't like crowds,
Speaker 1: so she's always stressed about upcoming family events. For events
Speaker 1: like concerts, sports and state fairs, and automatic no unless
Speaker 1: I tell her I really want to go, but I
Speaker 1: don't want her to go along only because of me
Speaker 1: the anxieties related to mental health. So I've accepted it,
Speaker 1: But there are other times when she asked me why
Speaker 1: don't we spend more time together? What I think she
Speaker 1: means is why don't I sit in the couch with
Speaker 1: her while she's reading or watching shows. I'm the type
Speaker 1: of person who can't sit for too long. I've been
Speaker 1: really into my current hobby, so I'm downstairs, busy on
Speaker 1: my own thing. How I see spending time together is
Speaker 1: outside of the house like we did in our twenties,
Speaker 1: going to events. We're in our mid thirties. No kids.
Speaker 1: I feel your frustration. Dave, love the show and the
Speaker 1: new editions that is from Vang also known as mister
Speaker 1: dart Lick. Love that Wang, Thank you so much. Next one,
Speaker 1: Sydney regular staff writer says Dave. Jenny Bailey. I don't
Speaker 1: remember if you talked about on the show The Minnesota Goodbye,
Speaker 1: but you were discussing sneezing and the proper etiquette, which
Speaker 1: is what which.
Speaker 3: Is sneezing into your elbow and not your hand like
Speaker 3: you do weirdo.
Speaker 1: It's nothing weird about it at all.
Speaker 3: Grossa.
Speaker 1: I'm not touching you.
Speaker 3: I'm touching all of the on the equipment.
Speaker 2: But you are touching the same things that we might touch,
Speaker 2: like the door handle. Yeah, to get out of the studio.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess. So you know what, That's why God
Speaker 1: blessed you with what he calls immunity.
Speaker 2: Immune have immunity, We have an immune system.
Speaker 1: You get immun God says, give Jenny beautiful hair and immunity.
Speaker 2: That's what he said, Thanks God, thanks big guy.
Speaker 3: I do appreciate my anter too much. Stuff, Jenny, It's
Speaker 3: not fair.
Speaker 1: Isn't funny how God blesses people with just an amazing
Speaker 1: something of like Taylor Swift. She is a songwriter, she
Speaker 1: is beautiful, she is she is healthy. She you know,
Speaker 1: this is something I learned. Her family, her mom and
Speaker 1: dad were worth one hundred million dollars.
Speaker 3: Oh well that is that really a God's blessing?
Speaker 1: Or is that?
Speaker 3: Well generational is.
Speaker 1: But it's kind of like Taylor plays this act of
Speaker 1: like I grew up on a Christmas tree farm, which
Speaker 1: she didn't. Really, they had a tree farm in addition
Speaker 1: to their ten million dollar home wherever they live. But
Speaker 1: some people are blessed with height, athleticism, talent. I was
Speaker 1: blessed with a golden, beautiful radio voice. Listen to this voice.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you were born with it's beautiful, it's gorgeous. This
Speaker 4: this career shows you you didn't choose that exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah anyway, so, uh, Sidney says, I pulled my shirt
Speaker 1: out and I sneeze into it, basically onto my chest.
Speaker 1: So I guess you pull the collar out and go
Speaker 1: chew down your shirt yeah, that way, it's all contained
Speaker 1: on my body and not missed around my elbow. But
Speaker 1: I've been told it's gross, mostly by my husband. What
Speaker 1: are your thoughts? Yeah, it's gross, but it's your own gross,
Speaker 1: so it's okay.
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe it could be missed and trewed as like hot,
Speaker 4: like hold on, let me sneeze into my bosom.
Speaker 3: Chew, oh oh my bosom.
Speaker 1: No, in no ways at all.
Speaker 3: No, are you sure?
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 3: It would you could. We could twist it. We can
Speaker 3: change the narrative.
Speaker 1: Even if a woman had like the idea to come
Speaker 1: on to you and she's like wearing a low cut whatever,
Speaker 1: and she's like very flirty and she's like ohew, and
Speaker 1: then she looks at you and you're like, the titties
Speaker 1: away from me. Don't want the titties, no, mo, not.
Speaker 3: The glistening titties.
Speaker 1: Okay gross. Next one, Christie says, hey, homies, you don't
Speaker 1: have to read this on the podcast, but you can
Speaker 1: if you would like. Well, I haven't pre read it,
Speaker 1: so let's go. The Lovely Bailey asked about weird things
Speaker 1: we see in people's cars. Oh boy, do I got stories?
Speaker 1: Because I look at everybody that goes by, and you
Speaker 1: best believe I'm judging some of y'all. I've seen everything
Speaker 1: from dildo's, somebody trying their panties on the air, vnce,
Speaker 1: lifelike sex dolls, skeleton children's size, buckled in the back seat,
Speaker 1: things that seeing people do that I'd like to wash
Speaker 1: my eyeballs with bleach. Watching porn on a tablet and
Speaker 1: masturbating and bumper to bumper traffic. A lot of flaccid wieners.
Speaker 1: Most of the guys we saw that we saw I
Speaker 1: was a female. Okay, run on sentences, please use punctuation, Christy.
Speaker 1: A lot of flaccid wieners. Most of guys that saw
Speaker 1: I was a female and were being creepy, trying to
Speaker 1: get my attention. Women using toys, women sucking on her tits.
Speaker 1: Yes you read that right. Oh my god, dog's going
Speaker 1: at it in the back seat. I could write a
Speaker 1: very graphic book about the things that I see. On
Speaker 1: another note, anyone doing the arm pump makes my day.
Speaker 1: Oh they're a truck driver.
Speaker 2: This person.
Speaker 3: That's what I said. Truck drivers have to see a
Speaker 3: bunch of weird stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so that's why I'm like, how do you
Speaker 1: see so much? But I guess you got that elevated
Speaker 1: view and some people pass you slowly enough that you
Speaker 1: can see somebody sucking on their titties.
Speaker 4: Right, Because I knew someone who was a truck driver
Speaker 4: and they said they had seen some weird stuff.
Speaker 3: So I'm just like, but what is it? What's the
Speaker 3: weird one?
Speaker 1: Now I know. On another note, if you do the
Speaker 1: arm pump, it makes my day. I don't care how
Speaker 1: old you are, it makes me smile. I have more
Speaker 1: adults do with than kids, but it's still the highlight.
Speaker 1: So never stop. Catch you later, taters. That is from
Speaker 1: Christy the truck driver. Thank you for doing that because
Speaker 1: we still get a thrill when we go pump pump
Speaker 1: and you go huhh. I love that. Onto the next email.
Speaker 1: Another podcast I mentioned I listened to and thought, okay,
Speaker 1: let's back up, Hello morning show. Another podcast I listen
Speaker 1: to mention this and I thought it would be fun
Speaker 1: to hear yours A never again list, a list in
Speaker 1: your notes of things that you want to remember never
Speaker 1: to do again. Eg. Samples, never again buy final sale
Speaker 1: clothing items, never again, try to go healthy with the
Speaker 1: healthy version of ice cream instead of just getting the
Speaker 1: real thing. Never again, buy any furniture off Amazon to
Speaker 1: save money. Staff writer Taylor, Thank you Taylor. Anybody have
Speaker 1: an never again for me? Skydiving. I've done it four times.
Speaker 1: I hated it. Terrifies me. I've only done it because
Speaker 1: I've been peer pressured. I will never skydive again.
Speaker 3: Ooh, mine's Tower of Terror. Never again? I oh really.
Speaker 3: I went on it once and I was like, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna be brave.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go on the Tower of Terror because everybody
Speaker 4: loves it and I hate falling.
Speaker 3: Falling is so scary.
Speaker 4: And when I went on it, I went with my
Speaker 4: mom and I was holding onto her for dear life,
Speaker 4: and I was screaming my head off, and she thought
Speaker 4: to make me feel better, she wouldn't scream, so she
Speaker 4: was silent on this ride, which terrified me even more
Speaker 4: because I thought she had passed out or something. I nope,
Speaker 4: never again. I hated it.
Speaker 3: I hated it. It was awful.
Speaker 1: You know, I love Tower of Terror. If you don't
Speaker 1: know what it is is, basically, it's a takeoff on
Speaker 1: the Twilight Zone. It's very Twilight Zone nineteen fifties ish,
Speaker 1: and you go into a nineteen thirties era hotel and
Speaker 1: you walk through the lobby. Then you get in an elevator,
Speaker 1: and the elevator you're all strapped in, you're not standing there,
Speaker 1: and it goes way way up and it drops and
Speaker 1: up again, and it drops and up again and it
Speaker 1: drops and it's terrifying and you scream and it's great.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 3: I was so scared, so scared.
Speaker 1: What is on your never again?
Speaker 2: Mine would be a marathon. I have such bad knees
Speaker 2: and I just won't continue to do that again. And
Speaker 2: I honestly didn't enjoy my marathon at all. I think
Speaker 2: everyone who's like, you're going to have adrenaline the day
Speaker 2: of no, that's bullshit. You need to train, and if
Speaker 2: you don't train, you're not going to be prepared in
Speaker 2: my opinion, but people will argue with me on that one.
Speaker 2: If you are prepared without training, you just are naturally
Speaker 2: super athletic.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah too, I yeah, I could talk about that too.
Speaker 1: I talked to Chris Hockey one time and I said, hey,
Speaker 1: you did the marathon last year. Did you train? He's like,
Speaker 1: really not at all? I said, how'd you finish? She said,
Speaker 1: like five and a half hours, which is very slow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I said, good because I haven't trained. I'm going tomorrow.
Speaker 1: He said, yeah, go do it, Go do it. And
Speaker 1: I did it about five hours forty five minutes. So yeah,
Speaker 1: but if you train, I mean, it's going to be easy.
Speaker 1: I'll never do another marathon either. I don't have it
Speaker 1: in my knees anymore. It's just too hard on your body.
Speaker 2: And I, after doing one, don't have the good knees
Speaker 2: for it anymore. And I also talked to Chris Hockey
Speaker 2: and he said he if he could go back, he
Speaker 2: would never have done any of the marathons because he
Speaker 2: had to have both knees replaced from the running. That
Speaker 2: he's smarting.
Speaker 1: Really wow wow.
Speaker 3: Okay, so now I don't feel bad that I can't run.
Speaker 2: Yeah, some people just do not have the knees for it.
Speaker 1: WHOA No. And it is very hard on your knees
Speaker 1: because you're thumping down. If you weigh one hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty pounds every time you land, it's probably you're putting
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty pounds of weight on your knees.
Speaker 1: Boom ba boom ba, boom ba boom boom. Next one,
Speaker 1: Dave Jenny Bailey, longtime listener of twenty five years. I
Speaker 1: love to start each of my days with your voices. Dave.
Speaker 1: I have a story for you about losing your child somewhere.
Speaker 1: A few years ago we went to Disney World. We
Speaker 1: stayed at a Disney resort with a Austin water park.
Speaker 1: My son, who was five, love going on the water slides,
Speaker 1: and after our one hundredth time going down it, now
Speaker 1: remember he's five, I said, go on it by yourself.
Speaker 1: I'll be waiting at the bottom for you. So I
Speaker 1: sat there in a lounge chair directly at the bottom
Speaker 1: waiting for him. I saw him come down. He's like,
Speaker 1: I want to go again. Okay, go back up. But
Speaker 1: as the minutes passed, I didn't see him. I'd looked
Speaker 1: down on my phone for less than a minute. I
Speaker 1: thought maybe I missed him somehow. As a few more
Speaker 1: minutes passed, I really started to panic. But that's when
Speaker 1: I heard Dave's voice in my head saying, you're going
Speaker 1: to lose your kid one day, and do not panic.
Speaker 1: You will find them. And I swear by that you
Speaker 1: will lose your kid if you've got a newborn baby
Speaker 1: one day you will lose them at the mall, or
Speaker 1: at the state fair or at the airport. You will panic,
Speaker 1: you will think the worst. You will find them. I'm
Speaker 1: glad that this came to your head when you did that.
Speaker 1: I kept relaxing, or he kept replaying that in my
Speaker 1: head as I started walking around the park yelling his name.
Speaker 1: That's when I walked up to the water's slide line,
Speaker 1: only to find him at the top, directing kids where
Speaker 1: to go. He told me there wasn't a lifeguard there,
Speaker 1: so he thought he should be one and tell the
Speaker 1: kids that when they can go down the slide.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 1: I appreciate his kind heart, but wow, that almost gave
Speaker 1: me a heart attack. I would love a staff writer sticker,
Speaker 1: if you could mail me one.
Speaker 4: I would love to go at the top of a
Speaker 4: water slide and have a five year old be.
Speaker 3: Like, all right, now you're gonna go into this line.
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: You good to go go.
Speaker 1: Ahead, and they take their the boss. I love that.
Speaker 1: Thanks for sharing that story. Random ones, Let's see what
Speaker 1: we got here. Some of them, I've kind of lost
Speaker 1: track a little bit. Let's try this one, Dave and
Speaker 1: the other people there. Okay, thank you for the courtesy kind.
Speaker 1: I vent a little bit is very petty. I mean
Speaker 1: very petty. At my office. When I started, I used
Speaker 1: to park away from the employee entrance door because I
Speaker 1: was new. I didn't deserve to park up close. Well,
Speaker 1: over the years, I become more of a senior position,
Speaker 1: so I felt I could park up close, and I
Speaker 1: did well. We got a slew of new employees a
Speaker 1: year ago, and all of a sudden, they're getting to
Speaker 1: work a few minutes before me, parking right up close,
Speaker 1: forcing me to park away from the employee door. So
Speaker 1: I decided to park far away and there's some trees
Speaker 1: and enjoy my short walk into the office. That was
Speaker 1: in the winter. Well, all of a sudden, the summer
Speaker 1: heat came. We are in California one hundred and ten degrees,
Speaker 1: so he lives in I think Turlock, California. All the
Speaker 1: new employees started getting there a few minutes early and
Speaker 1: parking under my tree far away, and there are no
Speaker 1: assigned parking spots. So I can't say anything, but it
Speaker 1: bugs the hell out of me. Lol. Can you relate? No,
Speaker 1: but I appreciate I don't. I mean, we park in
Speaker 1: the parking garage and we get here early enough, we
Speaker 1: get a pretty prime parking spot.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: If there's like I don't know, we probably when we
Speaker 1: get here, we probably get the tenth best parking spot,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. We don't get here early
Speaker 1: enough to get the best because there are people here
Speaker 1: apparently in the middle of the night. But I get
Speaker 1: about the tenth best parking spot. Yeah, but Joe, absolutely
Speaker 1: people are selfish. And even though you were courteous when
Speaker 1: you were new and didn't park up close, there'll be
Speaker 1: people who are like, I'm gonna go ahead and park
Speaker 1: up close.
Speaker 4: So I mean, I wouldn't even think of it if
Speaker 4: I was driving into a parking lot, I wouldn't even
Speaker 4: be like, oh, that's someone else's parking spot. I would
Speaker 4: just be like, sweet, a parking spot on a part
Speaker 4: tree and it's.
Speaker 1: Hot out next one. Dave Jenny Bailevance. I've written in before.
Speaker 1: Maybe once. I figured I'd send an email and tell
Speaker 1: you guys the story of my mom being scammed after
Speaker 1: my grandmother died. My mom inherited money, but my stepdad
Speaker 1: lost his job. Let me know if I read this one,
Speaker 1: I know I read it to myself.
Speaker 2: I don't think so.
Speaker 1: Finances became tight. My sister moved in with my mom,
Speaker 1: and then my mom began asking her for money for
Speaker 1: groceries despite the inheritance. So Mom's looking for money from
Speaker 1: the sister. My sister discovered my mom had been duped
Speaker 1: by a scammer pretending to be Joe Perry from Aerosmith.
Speaker 2: Oh No.
Speaker 1: She had sent him over eighteen thousand dollars in gift
Speaker 1: cards to this scammer, who convinced her that he would
Speaker 1: one day rescue her. The situation worsened when my mom
Speaker 1: sent goodbye text to us and blocked our numbers.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: Fortunately, during the local power outage, my sister managed to
Speaker 1: contact the scammer pretending to be my mom. With her help,
Speaker 1: I texted my mom in the scammer style for two days,
Speaker 1: keeping her engaged to prevent further losses. At the end
Speaker 1: of this I revealed the truth, explaining that I was
Speaker 1: the scammer and not I was a scammer and not
Speaker 1: Joe Perry. Although she was upset, this intervention helped her
Speaker 1: stop communicating with a scammer who still tries to reach
Speaker 1: out to her Today, she remains unaware that I was
Speaker 1: the one who posed as the scammer, so mom thinks
Speaker 1: that fake Joe Perry finally admitted that he was a scammer.
Speaker 1: I figured'd be a good top of a conversation for
Speaker 1: the podcast. Maybe somebody else has experienced this themselves or
Speaker 1: with a loved one. Many elderly people are being scammed
Speaker 1: via puppy scams or romance scams like this. That's all
Speaker 1: I got. Love you guys would love a staff writer
Speaker 1: sticker and let me take a picture of that. And
Speaker 1: I told you about my friend Nate, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've talked about him quite a bit, quite.
Speaker 1: A few times. And his mom is lonely, elderly, and
Speaker 1: thought that she was dating some movie.
Speaker 2: Stars I don't remember his name, some movie star.
Speaker 1: Who's still currently and they really thought they convinced her
Speaker 1: that they were gonna get married. Yeah, and they were
Speaker 1: gonna go to the Academy Awards together. And my friend
Speaker 1: Nate was like, no, Chase got scammed by a puppy
Speaker 1: deal because he was going to buy a German Shepherd
Speaker 1: puppy from somebody in Atlanta. Yeah, and I don't remember
Speaker 1: all the details, but it turns out there was no
Speaker 1: puppy and it came from It was basically like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we got a puppy, We're gonna send it to you.
Speaker 1: Here's a picture of the puppy. We're we're gonna come
Speaker 1: to Arizona with the puppy. We're gonna meet you at
Speaker 1: the airport and we'll give you the puppy you give
Speaker 1: us the money. Then it turned into meet me half.
Speaker 1: Then it turned into no, you fly to us. Oh,
Speaker 1: so the scammer would not have to spend any money,
Speaker 1: right and then Chase I don't think lost any money,
Speaker 1: but there was definitely no.
Speaker 3: Position time and like energy for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So if you have any scams, the only one
Speaker 1: I can tell you is that when my dad died
Speaker 1: and my father in law died, they were both subscribing
Speaker 1: to a lot of shit they didn't need, like a
Speaker 1: bunch of like my dad was subscribing to magazines that
Speaker 1: he would not have subscribed to that somehow he did.
Speaker 1: And my father in law was subscribing to some sort
Speaker 1: of toy service where you get toys for your grandkids
Speaker 1: every month, and they were junk, garbage toys for little kids,
Speaker 1: but he would send his you know, twenty dollars a
Speaker 1: month for the toy subscription whatever, So yeah, anything else
Speaker 1: to add to the podcast, anybody.
Speaker 2: The only thing I would say is that on Facebook,
Speaker 2: worket Place, sometimes people will be like, Oh, I want
Speaker 2: to make sure you're a real person. I'm gonna can
Speaker 2: you send me your number. I'm going to send you
Speaker 2: a code, and oh, yeah, don't click the code. Yeah, well,
Speaker 2: don't click it. But also don't give them the code
Speaker 2: because they just signed up something that involves your number
Speaker 2: and they need that code to continue with the verification
Speaker 2: of whatever they sign up for. Yes, So I never
Speaker 2: did that, but I like there were a couple times
Speaker 2: where I was like, yeah, that makes sense, they want
Speaker 2: to make sure I'm a real person. But I haven't
Speaker 2: had that happen in a while, so maybe Marketplace has
Speaker 2: done like their due diligence. But that was when I
Speaker 2: first started on Marketplace.
Speaker 4: So I've gotten that from like Facebook friends that like
Speaker 4: I went to church with in high school and they're like, hey,
Speaker 4: I need your help because I can't I just got
Speaker 4: locked out of my account or whatever, and I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 4: for sure, I can help you, and then definitely got
Speaker 4: hacked somehow, So I ended up like calling Microsoft support.
Speaker 3: To be like I think my email has been hacked
Speaker 3: and I don't know. I clicked a thing and I
Speaker 3: shouldn't have.
Speaker 4: And even that, I feel like I got rerouted to
Speaker 4: a scammer who was like, you need to send me
Speaker 4: this money, like five hundred dollars.
Speaker 3: And it was like eleventh and I was like sixteen
Speaker 3: years old, and I woke up my dad. I was like,
Speaker 3: I'm so confused.
Speaker 4: He's like, go to bed, You're fine, just don't give
Speaker 4: them any money, Like, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: We're so cautious with that. And some of them are
Speaker 1: so convincing, and we all know that some of are,
Speaker 1: Like I think Susan's almost clicked on a couple of
Speaker 1: things she would be. I'm naturally cynical, so I look
Speaker 1: at things, even if it is from Wells Fargo. I'm like,
Speaker 1: if they really need to get a hold of me,
Speaker 1: they'll call me, or they'll come to my house, or
Speaker 1: they'll send a letter or something. Yeah, this looks suspicious.
Speaker 1: I am not going to click on this link to verify. No. No,
Speaker 1: And that is it for the Minnesota Goodbye. Send your
