Speaker 1: This is the TJ show. Okay, I have a new obsession.
Speaker 1: I loved the movie Coyote vs.
Speaker 2: Acme.
Speaker 1: And I feel very passionate about it because it seems
Speaker 1: like the original movie company, that will remain nameless, did
Speaker 1: this movie dirty. And then another company came in and
Speaker 1: now has released it. And the box office numbers aren't
Speaker 1: great at this moment. And I feel like I had
Speaker 1: to take on a new cause, and it's to get
Speaker 1: people to see Coyote vs. Acme. Because I do think
Speaker 1: it's that good. And listen, when you have a family,
Speaker 1: you want to go see a movie, everyone can see
Speaker 1: and enjoy every one of my kids. except for Noah,
Speaker 1: gave it a 10. My wife even loved it. She
Speaker 1: doesn't love any of this kind of Looney Tunes stuff.
Speaker 3: Which is a big deal. And the box office numbers
Speaker 3: have nothing to do with the fact that the movie
Speaker 3: actually is great. Like it has a 96% rating from
Speaker 3: Rotten Tomatoes.
Speaker 1: Yes, and it's remains. Yeah, solid reviews across the board,
Speaker 1: people and critics. And so I'm like, okay, well, we're
Speaker 1: going to do our part. And so I started going
Speaker 1: out to college campuses, telling people one at a time,
Speaker 1: you got to see this movie. It's that good for you.
Speaker 1: And I also wanted to enlist the help of some
Speaker 1: fellow radio personalities, one of my best friends. I sent
Speaker 1: him a message. You know Edgar? I do. Who hosts
Speaker 1: the Shaboy Show. Hey, Edgar. Hope you're doing great. Question
Speaker 1: for you. This is a voice text I sent to him.
Speaker 1: Have you seen Coyote vs. Acme yet? And if not,
Speaker 1: what are you waiting for? Let me know. I have
Speaker 1: an idea. Yeah, I'm getting ready to share an idea
Speaker 1: that I think is going to help.
Speaker 4: Hi, TJ. First and foremost, I love you, bro. Second,
Speaker 4: thank you for the most unexpected question of the day. Congrats.
Speaker 5: You are the winner.
Speaker 1: Have I seen Coyote vs.
Speaker 6: Acme?
Speaker 4: The cartoon chasing the roadrunner, right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, he knows.
Speaker 7: The big old.
Speaker 4: Weight that falls on the coyote, right? I've seen that.
Speaker 4: Is there something else I need to see?
Speaker 8: Tell me about it.
Speaker 1: Can you believe this?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 7: How do you not know?
Speaker 1: I'm assuming you're joking that you have not seen the
Speaker 1: trailer for Coyote vs. Acme, the new movie. We took
Speaker 1: the whole family to see it. It is phenomenal. So
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you, could you dedicate significant
Speaker 1: portions of your radio show telling your audience about this movie,
Speaker 1: but you first have to see it? Yeah, I'm thinking
Speaker 1: if we do it on our show and he does
Speaker 1: it on his show, and then I get other people
Speaker 1: who do radio shows to jump in on this, this
Speaker 1: is going to work. Okay. I'm talking about significant portions
Speaker 1: of your programming on your show. Yeah.
Speaker 4: TJ, so sorry to disappoint you, bro. I have not
Speaker 4: seen the movie or actually heard anything about it. It
Speaker 4: sounds like Warner Brothers has done a really good job
Speaker 4: to keep it on the down low.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they literally put it in a closet and said,
Speaker 1: this movie will never see the light of day.
Speaker 4: You know, I got your back. I got your family's back.
Speaker 4: And I think you guys recommend.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Can we find significant amount of time to talk about
Speaker 4: on the show? Look, I'm sure there's a way we
Speaker 4: can get creative with it.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 4: But whatever, whatever you need, bro. I got you.
Speaker 1: So this man, I already knew this, but I'm letting
Speaker 1: you know, is a hero and he may be joining
Speaker 1: this revolution. You know, I got some connections in this
Speaker 1: radio business. I know some guys who host some shows.
Speaker 7: You know some people?
Speaker 9: Some ladies, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: We're going to keep working on this. We've got Kayla
Speaker 1: in Asheville, North Carolina.
Speaker 8: Hello, Kayla.
Speaker 5: Hi.
Speaker 1: Hey, tell me.
Speaker 7: I know this is random.
Speaker 6: Yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 10: And I'm sorry, but... So, for a long time, we
Speaker 10: had a different show. And then, for a while, I
Speaker 10: didn't listen to the radio. And I know that's sad,
Speaker 10: but I got back on and you guys were on.
Speaker 10: And I just think that's awesome.
Speaker 7: And I love you guys.
Speaker 10: And it's like a blessing on.
Speaker 5: The way to work.
Speaker 6: Oh, wow.
Speaker 1: Well, that's really kind of you.
Speaker 7: I've never been called a blessing.
Speaker 1: Well, you are.
Speaker 10: You are to me.
Speaker 7: It feels some kind of way, don't it?
Speaker 1: Thank you for that. That is a huge deal to
Speaker 1: hear that from you. But tell me a little bit
Speaker 1: more about you. What is the most exciting part of
Speaker 1: your life right now, Kayla?
Speaker 5: Oh, wow.
Speaker 7: Okay.
Speaker 10: Well, tomorrow I'm taking my 18-year-old to get his license.
Speaker 8: Oh.
Speaker 7: Nice.
Speaker 1: How is he behind the wheel?
Speaker 7: Be honest.
Speaker 10: He's great. He's just a nervous person. So he's waited
Speaker 10: until he was 18 to do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't understand that. You know, Kayla, that's a
Speaker 1: new thing. I have some nieces who don't like jump
Speaker 1: at the opportunity to get their license. And I feel
Speaker 1: like this has been happening more and more over the years.
Speaker 1: I think back to when I was 16 years old,
Speaker 1: I could not wait. It was like, this is how
Speaker 1: I can drive far away from my house? How do
Speaker 1: I do this? Where do I sign? I mean, it's
Speaker 1: an unbelievable, unthinkable thing. I know people who haven't gotten
Speaker 1: their license until their early 20s, and it's a choice
Speaker 1: they make. I'm like, what are they thinking?
Speaker 10: I don't know. but I've happily driven him around. You know,
Speaker 10: I'm not going to argue. It is scary to send
Speaker 10: your child out to the world, but he's a great driver.
Speaker 10: He's just going to drive the car around on the weekends.
Speaker 10: You know, it's not like he's going out every day
Speaker 10: being crazy. He's just a kid that wants a little freedom.
Speaker 6: I wonder if.
Speaker 1: It's the parents or they feel like you do. They're like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, if he doesn't, if he's not ready yet,
Speaker 1: you know, you're not going to push him. And so
Speaker 1: the parents don't encourage their kids to get their license
Speaker 1: because And then they're like, okay, well, mom will just
Speaker 1: drive me everywhere. But I just didn't think that was cool.
Speaker 3: No, I have a friend whose daughter took a very
Speaker 3: long time to get her license. And my friend was like, please,
Speaker 3: please get your license.
Speaker 7: And my mom did the same thing. She was like,
Speaker 7: I want you to be able to take yourself places. Yes,
Speaker 7: I don't know. She just wasn't ready. She has it now.
Speaker 10: And take me places.
Speaker 7: Yeah, right.
Speaker 1: Exactly.
Speaker 7: Drive you around for a change.
Speaker 8: Pastor princess.
Speaker 1: Kayla, one more question. Have you seen Coyote vs. Acme yet?
Speaker 10: I haven't, but I have to tell you something really
Speaker 10: funny really fast. I saw it in this truck today,
Speaker 10: and it had the outline of Wiley in it, and
Speaker 10: I thought.
Speaker 5: That was hilarious.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's funny.
Speaker 8: That's great.
Speaker 1: Are you planning to see it? Because I think everyone
Speaker 1: needs to see this movie. It was that good.
Speaker 10: Okay, it's on the list with sheep detectives.
Speaker 1: Okay, so I've talked very passionately about sheep detectives. I
Speaker 1: will say, and this is hard for me to say,
Speaker 1: but I actually think this was a little bit better.
Speaker 1: They're both great movies, but this was that good. I
Speaker 1: loved it. So Kayla, take that with you and enjoy.
Speaker 1: Have fun.
Speaker 7: Since your son is going to get his license, maybe
Speaker 7: that's somewhere he can take you.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah.
Speaker 10: We'll add it to the list too.
Speaker 1: Designated driver.
Speaker 7: That's right.
Speaker 6: Roadrunner.
Speaker 10: All right.
Speaker 1: Have a great one. We'll see you later, Kayla.
Speaker 5: Of course.
Speaker 10: Thank you guys for being awesome every day in my radio.
Speaker 1: Oh, please. I appreciate that.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 1: You guys want to keep doing it?
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: All right. Let's keep doing it. This is the TJ
Speaker 1: show or news. It sounds different around here. Kenny reads
Speaker 1: through every story he can find, and then he brings
Speaker 1: us the most interesting ones. Kenny, what's happening on the
Speaker 1: planet today?
Speaker 2: There appears to be a trend among restaurants and businesses
Speaker 2: that are replacing their traditional food photography on their menus
Speaker 2: or flyers with hyper-realistic AI-generated photos. And people don't seem
Speaker 2: to like this at all.
Speaker 1: How is that allowed? Because isn't that technically false advertising
Speaker 1: if it's not the food that you're actually serving?
Speaker 7: That's what I would think.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think you bring up a good point. I
Speaker 8: don't know.
Speaker 2: But the article from the USA Today brings up one example.
Speaker 2: A guy from Chicago goes to his favorite deli, notices
Speaker 2: that they've replaced their menu board. with all of these
Speaker 2: hyper-realistic AI photos of these different sandwiches. He says he
Speaker 2: lost his appetite. And he took the photo and brought
Speaker 2: it to work. His coworkers looked at it and they
Speaker 2: were disgusted too. It turns out there is a psychological
Speaker 2: and biological reason for this. Experts explain that these images
Speaker 2: trigger a conflict in the brain between approach and avoidance.
Speaker 2: Because the food looks biologically unnatural, it activates an evolutionary
Speaker 2: danger response designed to protect you from disease, decay, or contamination.
Speaker 8: How about that?
Speaker 7: Now they lost that guy's business.
Speaker 3: It's like the company tried to use AI photos to
Speaker 3: not pay a photographer to photograph their food.
Speaker 7: Now you're losing customers, so you're still losing money. Yeah,
Speaker 7: people don't want your food anymore. Probably more money. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yes, Heather?
Speaker 7: I noticed this.
Speaker 9: There's a place around our building that has AI-generated photos,
Speaker 9: and I was looking at the photos, and I'm like,
Speaker 9: that doesn't look like real food at all. You can
Speaker 9: tell that the meat that's supposed to be on the sandwich,
Speaker 9: it's layered and has these weird holes in it.
Speaker 7: It does not look.
Speaker 1: Natural at all. looks almost too good to be true
Speaker 1: it still has like a piece of the pig on
Speaker 1: the corner like it's a cartoon face.
Speaker 2: Well there's something called tryptophobia this is an aversion to
Speaker 2: repetitive patterns or holes and these ai photos what they
Speaker 2: do is they have patterns unnatural textures and repetitive details
Speaker 2: so people that have tryptophobia that they legitimately lose their appetite.
Speaker 7: When they see these photos that's what that photo looked.
Speaker 1: Like when i saw it I feel weirdly proud that
Speaker 1: we still have, like, this cool part of being human
Speaker 1: that we recognize out in the wild.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know, be like a deer who doesn't eat a
Speaker 1: poisonous berry.
Speaker 8: It's an instinct.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Look at that, Jay, but we got instincts still.
Speaker 7: That we do.
Speaker 1: What else you got, Kenny?
Speaker 2: TJ, I think you might want to build a terrace
Speaker 2: in your backyard.
Speaker 1: Why is that?
Speaker 2: Because this guy in Denmark was building a terrace in
Speaker 2: his backyard, and through digging around, he came across a
Speaker 2: Viking Age silver hoard.
Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1: I love the idea of finding treasure. I have not
Speaker 1: found it yet. The closest I got was I was
Speaker 1: on a beach in Florida. And you know, you buy
Speaker 1: those like little cheap scuba gear things. I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, let me try it. So I put the
Speaker 1: goggles on, I put the snorkel in, and I saw
Speaker 1: something gold and shimmery in the water. And I had
Speaker 1: the little basket. I scooped it up. It was a ring.
Speaker 1: It was a class ring. So you did find something.
Speaker 1: I found something, but I mailed it to the school.
Speaker 1: Never heard back. I wrote him a letter and everything.
Speaker 1: Very uneventful ending for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for this guy, very eventful. So this is Viking
Speaker 2: Age silver. They say the entire hoard weighed over 40 pounds.
Speaker 8: Its contents consisted.
Speaker 2: of approximately 700 silver items including silver bars, jewelry, and
Speaker 2: 47 whole coins or coin fragments.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine this?
Speaker 7: That is amazing. Unbelievable.
Speaker 2: The weight in silver alone would be worth anywhere from $ 18, 000
Speaker 2: to $ 20, 000, but these are Viking artifacts in Denmark which
Speaker 2: are priceless. And they say it could be worth millions
Speaker 2: of dollars.
Speaker 1: So what's the deal if you find that? Because I
Speaker 1: know other countries, they've got laws where like you don't
Speaker 1: get to keep it and you got to give it
Speaker 1: over to the museum.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in Denmark, they have something called the Danish Treasure
Speaker 2: Trove Law. So anything found in the ground must be
Speaker 2: turned over to the National Museum. However, the finder is
Speaker 2: entitled to a substantial tax-free reward. So this guy's in,
Speaker 2: I think, for a pretty big payday.
Speaker 1: I do like that, as much as I would love
Speaker 1: to keep it all, I love the idea of if
Speaker 1: you find a piece like that, it's sad to think
Speaker 1: it would wind up in some rich dude's closet and
Speaker 1: only he would get to look at it. It's nice
Speaker 1: that the community gets to see, whoa, what is this thing?
Speaker 1: And also, why did they bury that back in the day?
Speaker 11: Right.
Speaker 1: These big, argh.
Speaker 7: And how come they never came back to it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe they went to battle, like, I'm going to
Speaker 1: hide my treasure.
Speaker 7: And never came back.
Speaker 1: Never came back. No one knew about it.
Speaker 8: That's a good guess at what might have happened, yeah.
Speaker 8: It's crazy.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm always looking down. Always hoping I trip over
Speaker 1: a treasure chest. We're going to keep an eye on
Speaker 1: this story.
Speaker 8: It just recently happened. So it's now at the National
Speaker 8: Museum for Assessment.
Speaker 2: So they're going to determine the value of it, and
Speaker 2: then we'll figure out how much the guy is going
Speaker 2: to get paid.
Speaker 7: That's great.
Speaker 1: So cool. What else do you have, Kenny?
Speaker 2: Well, I guess the past couple of weeks in the
Speaker 2: Los Angeles area, Aflac, the insurance company, billboards.
Speaker 8: Have been vandalized.
Speaker 2: Somebody's spray-painting Ben Affleck over these Affleck billboards. And now
Speaker 2: TMZ has obtained a photo of Ben Affleck himself spray-painting
Speaker 2: an Affleck billboard.
Speaker 8: Come on.
Speaker 2: It appears that there may be an advertising partnership between
Speaker 2: Ben and the company. However, TMZ reached out to both
Speaker 2: Ben Affleck's people and Affleck's people.
Speaker 8: They're keeping their lips sealed.
Speaker 7: Of course, yeah. They're going to reveal that on their
Speaker 7: own time.
Speaker 1: That silly Ben.
Speaker 8: It's a clever idea.
Speaker 7: Lily Affleck.
Speaker 2: I'm surprised it's taken him this long to make that connection.
Speaker 1: Kenny, what else do you have?
Speaker 2: New York City Public Schools, the biggest school district in
Speaker 2: the country, has announced a classroom technology policy imposing a
Speaker 2: one-year moratorium on student-facing AI tools for students going all
Speaker 2: the way from two-year-old pre-K all the way through eighth grade.
Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear this. People are getting a little
Speaker 1: too reliant on AI already. There are adults in my
Speaker 1: life Where we'll just be talking and they go, oh,
Speaker 1: let me see what chat GPT says. And they type
Speaker 1: it in and then they'll read it and they go like,
Speaker 1: this is the new authority now.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 3: It's kind of annoying because it prevents you from just
Speaker 3: having like a regular conversation.
Speaker 1: Oh, let me just, let me cross check.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I'm like, let's just have a conversation. It's all right.
Speaker 1: But even worse though, in the schools, this is like
Speaker 1: a simple example. We had calculators, right? But we still
Speaker 1: had to understand how long division worked.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: We have to know what is happening. And we've seen
Speaker 1: over the years, and we've heard this from math teachers even,
Speaker 1: there are a lot of kids who don't know how
Speaker 1: to get to certain numbers. They're so... grafted to these devices.
Speaker 1: And so you can apply that to other stuff now.
Speaker 1: It's not just, it's really like a super calculator.
Speaker 3: I've seen a few articles that claim that millennials is
Speaker 3: the smartest we'll ever be as of right now. Generations
Speaker 3: coming up aren't going to be as smart as millennials
Speaker 3: and aren't as smart as millennials because of tech.
Speaker 8: That's us, right?
Speaker 6: That's us.
Speaker 1: Awesome. They're geniuses.
Speaker 7: I'm not saying because it's us.
Speaker 3: I'm saying because I've read multiple articles where they're claiming this,
Speaker 3: which makes it kind of sad because I'm like, eventually
Speaker 3: we will become elderly and I want somebody smart taking
Speaker 3: care of me if I need to be taken care of.
Speaker 1: Yeah. What do we do to J-Bo? Hit her in
Speaker 1: the head with a pan.
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 7: If I'm on my bed, I got to tell you
Speaker 7: how to take care of me. We got a problem.
Speaker 1: No, it's very concerning. It's serious stuff. People's brains, I think,
Speaker 1: are atrophying. I mean, it's really bizarre. And we are
Speaker 1: headed towards, let me just sound like a crazy uncle
Speaker 1: for a second. I think we're headed towards chips in
Speaker 1: the head and all that stuff. I mean, it's... I'm out.
Speaker 7: I don't want that.
Speaker 1: It's wild.
Speaker 2: Yeah, J-Bo, your original point, I think, seems to be
Speaker 2: the main driving force. The idea is to prioritize human
Speaker 2: connection and social development and critical thinking over reliance on
Speaker 2: educational AI software, especially for these younger kids, right? They
Speaker 2: think it's really important that they have those skills early on.
Speaker 2: In high school, there are exceptions to this rule. They're
Speaker 2: going to have monitored AI pilot programs in select high
Speaker 2: school classrooms. So they want to teach high school students
Speaker 2: how to use AI ethically and properly. So they're going
Speaker 2: to hopefully teach them the right way to use the technology.
Speaker 1: I think the sad thing is the teachers are still
Speaker 1: trying to figure that out. Nobody knows exactly what that
Speaker 1: means yet. So it's a weird time. But using our
Speaker 1: brain can't hurt. The more things we can use our
Speaker 1: brain for, I think that's got to be headed in
Speaker 1: the right direction. Kenny, what else you got?
Speaker 2: There's a video that's getting a lot of attention. And
Speaker 2: as someone who's getting married in a couple of months,
Speaker 2: it definitely caught mine. So there's this couple. They're in Norwich,
Speaker 2: the UK. And they're getting married alongside a river. And
Speaker 2: they're taking photos with their photographer. At the water's edge.
Speaker 8: They're on the dock.
Speaker 2: And the photographer says to the couple, I think it
Speaker 2: would be cute if you guys took a picture in
Speaker 2: that canoe that's docked over there. And the couple made
Speaker 2: a grave mistake. They tried to get on the canoe
Speaker 2: at the same time. And as soon as they stepped
Speaker 2: on the canoe, it tipped over and they were soaking wet.
Speaker 2: Full bridal gown, full tuxedo in the water.
Speaker 1: On the wedding day.
Speaker 8: On the wedding day.
Speaker 1: So the question is, is this guy a real deal
Speaker 1: photographer or not? Does he take photos while they're actually
Speaker 1: in the water?
Speaker 7: You'd hope so.
Speaker 2: You know, something from the video, you could see the
Speaker 2: camera flashing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you keep shooting. You keep going. Shooting.
Speaker 2: The poor groom had his phone in his pocket. It
Speaker 2: did appear they had a sense of humor about it.
Speaker 2: They started laughing and they even gave a little kiss
Speaker 2: in the water.
Speaker 1: That's perfect.
Speaker 8: I think that'll be something to remember.
Speaker 1: So maybe it's an even better photo. Maybe this photographer
Speaker 1: is such a genius. He knew what was going to happen.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And he's like, we're going to.
Speaker 8: Get this shot.
Speaker 7: Nah, I'm not giving him that much credit.
Speaker 1: Well, you know what? I hope he plays it off
Speaker 1: that way.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 8: It's a truly one-of-a-kind photo.
Speaker 1: And then I guess what? You get sweatpants and you go,
Speaker 1: all right, whatever. Who cares? We'll be more comfortable the
Speaker 1: rest of the way.
Speaker 7: Hope it's really sunny so you can dry out.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Put it under the ceiling fan of the venue.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Kenny, what else do you have?
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of videos and photos that are getting a
Speaker 2: lot of attention, have you guys seen the photo of
Speaker 2: an actual coyote with an actual roadrunner in its mouth?
Speaker 1: It's beautiful.
Speaker 7: Absolutely beautiful.
Speaker 11: No.
Speaker 2: It is incredible. It was taken by Alexander DeBarros. He's
Speaker 2: a birder, loves birds, has been studying birds since he
Speaker 2: was 10 years old. He was hired by the LA
Speaker 2: Department of Water and Power to take photos in this
Speaker 2: particular area where he just so happened to catch a
Speaker 2: real coyote with a roadrunner in its mouth.
Speaker 3: Finally.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I don't know what it is, but
Speaker 1: this is happening right around the time Coyote vs. Acme
Speaker 1: comes out, which, by the way, we love the movie.
Speaker 1: You saw it. I saw it. J-Bo's going to see it.
Speaker 1: What does it mean? I don't know what it means,
Speaker 1: but it must mean something.
Speaker 2: Well, the photo was taken the exact weekend that Coyote
Speaker 2: and Acme hit theaters.
Speaker 1: Add another one to the list. Also, they did research.
Speaker 2: There has never been a recorded photograph of a coyote
Speaker 2: eating a Roadrunner. So this is a groundbreaking photo.
Speaker 1: The same time the movie comes out.
Speaker 8: The same time the movie comes out.
Speaker 7: I'm telling you, Coyote knew.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it means, but it means something.
Speaker 2: Not only that, so this guy, Alexander, his father is
Speaker 2: an animator. His first job was working alongside Chuck Jones,
Speaker 2: who is the creator of Wile E.
Speaker 8: Coyote and Roadrunner.
Speaker 1: Are you making this up now?
Speaker 5: I am not.
Speaker 7: Is a coyote a paid actor?
Speaker 1: Is it a cartoon you're seeing?
Speaker 2: No, no, this is a real photo. And to make
Speaker 2: things better, Coyote vs. Acme, whoever's running their social media account,
Speaker 2: obviously saw this photo, too. They were the first to
Speaker 2: comment with three shocked faces.
Speaker 1: Of course they were. This is the perfect story. Okay,
Speaker 1: if you're not convinced you need to see this movie,
Speaker 1: I don't know what else it's going to take.
Speaker 7: I'm excited.
Speaker 3: I can't wait to see it. I wanted to see
Speaker 3: it before it came out. I've been so busy, but
Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 1: This is wonderful. Kenny, thank you for keeping us somewhat informed.
Speaker 8: That's what's happening.
Speaker 1: Stories like this... They make me realize the world might
Speaker 1: not be crumbling before our eyes.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: This is very good news.
Speaker 7: There are some good pockets.
Speaker 1: Seriously, I was so moved by this story, and I
Speaker 1: like the chain reaction that's happening. So there's a guy
Speaker 1: named Daniel. He owns De Romano's Pizza in the Bronx.
Speaker 7: All right, you got to say it like that.
Speaker 1: In New York.
Speaker 8: That's an impression of his aunt while he says pizza place.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: He saw there was an elderly woman eating out of
Speaker 1: his trash can.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And he goes and invites her into the place. He goes, hey,
Speaker 1: let me give you a hot slice, gives her some water.
Speaker 1: And then after this happened, he posts a sign. And
Speaker 1: it says, to the people eating out of my garbage,
Speaker 1: I have more love for you than you think. Please
Speaker 1: come in and tell me you're hungry. I will forever
Speaker 1: give you a slice and fresh water to drink. And
Speaker 1: he goes on to explain that his mother, Carmela, taught
Speaker 1: him that a desperate person makes better decisions on a
Speaker 1: full stomach. And so this story has been going viral
Speaker 1: since it happened. And I saw it yesterday and I
Speaker 1: was like, wow, this is so cool. It's now caused a...
Speaker 1: chain reaction. People in Texas, Arkansas, Alaska, Hawaii, they're calling
Speaker 1: into this guy, purchasing slices for people in the community
Speaker 1: who need it.
Speaker 7: I love it.
Speaker 1: It's beautiful.
Speaker 7: I absolutely love it.
Speaker 1: See, it's not all horrific out there. It's very good news.
Speaker 1: And then I read the story yesterday. I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: I'm really in the mood for pizza. I coincidentally- had
Speaker 1: leftover pizza in my refrigerator. It was like thin meatball
Speaker 1: slices on it.
Speaker 5: Oh, nice.
Speaker 1: And so I threw it in the oven and I
Speaker 1: always like to make it extra crispy when it's leftover.
Speaker 1: And I thought of Kenny, who has openly shared, I'm
Speaker 1: not sharing any secrets, you're going to open a pizza
Speaker 1: shop one day that's very unique.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's one of my business ideas.
Speaker 8: It's called Next Day Pizza.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 8: And we serve day old pizza.
Speaker 1: Because what I've found, and I do notice, when you
Speaker 1: have leftover pizza and you really heat it up and
Speaker 1: get it extra crispy, it actually is often a better slice.
Speaker 7: It does taste really nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, than what you originally bought. Yeah, it's nice.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, the idea is we're going to make the
Speaker 2: pizza ourselves. We'll get real pizza ovens, and then we'll
Speaker 2: have about 20 toaster ovens. And inevitably, what's going to
Speaker 2: happen is somebody's going to come into the store and
Speaker 2: see me take a fresh pizza out of the oven
Speaker 2: and say, can I just have that?
Speaker 1: They're going to want the fresh pizza.
Speaker 2: And I'm going to say, no, if you want that pizza,
Speaker 2: you'll have to come back tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: You're only going to give them yesterday's pizza.
Speaker 8: Yes, it'll be next day's pizza. Next day's pizza.
Speaker 1: It's a very unique concept. And actually— Last night, I'm like,
Speaker 1: this guy's going to be rich. Like, make sure that
Speaker 1: we're on Kenny's good side.
Speaker 3: I just hope it's not going to cost as much
Speaker 3: as a fresh pizza, seeing how it's next day pizza.
Speaker 7: You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: I would actually charge.
Speaker 6: It's a premium.
Speaker 1: No, I would charge a little more. Oh, get out
Speaker 1: of here. Because it's more work. You have to store
Speaker 1: it in the refrigerators, and then you've got to put
Speaker 1: it in the toaster ovens. And, you know, you run
Speaker 1: that many toaster ovens, prices are high.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's probably higher than one oven. Yeah.
Speaker 8: I'm going to send my application to Shark Tank. That's
Speaker 8: part of having a business.
Speaker 1: No, it's... I think it's genius. But anyway, glad to
Speaker 1: see there's some good stuff happening in this world. I
Speaker 1: just know this is never a good thing when this happens.
Speaker 1: When I start getting incessant calls from my wife during
Speaker 1: the show. Is that nerve wracking?
Speaker 7: It would be for me.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 6: It is.
Speaker 1: Because I'm like, oh, I hope everything's okay.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I couldn't answer it because we were on the
Speaker 1: radio a few moments ago. And so I go and
Speaker 1: run in the other room, and I get a text
Speaker 1: message from her. It says, non-emergency emergency.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, great. What's going on here?
Speaker 7: So is it an emergency?
Speaker 1: So what's up? Okay, so we're going to break in here,
Speaker 1: and I want you to hear what's happening at my
Speaker 1: house today unexpectedly. This is the message I just got
Speaker 1: from my wife.
Speaker 7: Hi, honey.
Speaker 6: We have a slight emergency situation. Everyone's fine.
Speaker 1: For my dog, it's always an emergency.
Speaker 6: For the really crazy storm last night, half a tree
Speaker 6: went into my parents' pool. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1: So where we are, we got quite a wind and rainstorm.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was wild.
Speaker 1: Some of those alerts on the phone and everything.
Speaker 6: My brother was having like a dad date, and it
Speaker 6: was supposed to be at the pool.
Speaker 7: So it can't be.
Speaker 6: At the pool now because there's literally an entire tree
Speaker 6: in the pool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this is the thing that's going on. So
Speaker 1: my brother-in-law, Josh, who we've talked to, right?
Speaker 10: Yes.
Speaker 1: He happened to be where one of my daughter's friend's
Speaker 1: dad's was there, right? And they had this quick interaction.
Speaker 1: And he just mentioned in passing, oh, I really like
Speaker 1: that guy. And between his wife, my wife, and then
Speaker 1: the wife of the... They're all like, oh, we should
Speaker 1: get them together. They should hang out and be friends.
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 1: And this is how bad it is with guys finding friends.
Speaker 1: So many guys have isolated themselves completely that when there's
Speaker 1: any interest in another man, all the women in the
Speaker 1: circle are like, oh, you guys should hang out. So
Speaker 1: they're supposed to have... which is essentially a play date
Speaker 1: at the pool. But the pool is unusable from the tree,
Speaker 1: whatever it is, now that I'm finding out fell in it.
Speaker 6: We are doing an emergency get together at our house today.
Speaker 1: So they've switched the play date to my house.
Speaker 9: Now you're involved.
Speaker 1: Because this so badly, like they can't wait till next week.
Speaker 1: They can't wait till a couple, it's gotta be right now.
Speaker 6: Okay, so I just wanted to warn you, I'm cleaning
Speaker 6: right now. If you wanted to grab any like snacks,
Speaker 6: that would be good.
Speaker 1: Now I have to grab snacks.
Speaker 3: Even though it was their idea to move it to
Speaker 3: your house. Tell her she better get Instacart. Uber Eats, something.
Speaker 1: I didn't sign up to get snacks for their plate.
Speaker 1: Should I get a little applesauce pouch too for them?
Speaker 8: Juice box.
Speaker 6: Or any drinks would be... But I wanted to make
Speaker 6: the move to make sure it can still happen. Josh
Speaker 6: has really looked forward to this for a long time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course. You know, when a kid wants to
Speaker 1: go on a play date.
Speaker 6: Anyway, he's a little bit nervous because now he won't
Speaker 6: have the safety buffer.
Speaker 1: Of the pool.
Speaker 6: You know, something built in automatic to do.
Speaker 1: But I think he'll be okay.
Speaker 7: That is sweet for the wives to do that.
Speaker 2: No, it's cute.
Speaker 7: And also, like, inconvenient.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It is wild. So Josh, who is a grown man,
Speaker 1: he's older than me. I'm going to call him in
Speaker 1: a few moments and find out if he needs me
Speaker 1: to be at his play date to chaperone.
Speaker 5: Stop.
Speaker 1: We're going to get him on the radio. It's coming
Speaker 1: up on the TJ show. This is the TJ show
Speaker 1: and it is, as my wife said, a non-emergency emergency.
Speaker 1: We just played the message I got a few moments ago.
Speaker 1: Apparently my brother-in-law Josh had a positive interaction with another
Speaker 1: man And you know that men have such a hard
Speaker 1: time making friends. The collective wives came together and essentially
Speaker 1: set up a play date for you, Josh.
Speaker 5: Well, TJ, if I could tell you the whole story.
Speaker 1: What more is it to the story? Yeah, what's missing?
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, there's way more.
Speaker 7: So we're at.
Speaker 5: Your wife's musical, right? Jessica did a musical like a
Speaker 5: week long theater camp. And I saw this man kind
Speaker 5: of look at me and we made eye contact.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't think I know him.
Speaker 5: So I was going to VIP area. That's what I
Speaker 5: call it because Yeah.
Speaker 1: At a kid's theater show. Yes. Yeah, at a kid's
Speaker 1: theater show.
Speaker 5: I was on the list, and I met this guy,
Speaker 5: and we started chatting.
Speaker 1: You hit it off.
Speaker 7: We hit it off.
Speaker 5: We became friends.
Speaker 1: We're not friends yet.
Speaker 7: We're not friends yet.
Speaker 5: Okay, there are levels to this. Oh, my bad.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry.
Speaker 7: I was rushing it. I was rushing it.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But all the wives are really responsible for setting
Speaker 1: up this play date that you were supposed to have today,
Speaker 1: and it was supposed to be at a pool.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And so, unfortunately, a tree broke off into the pool.
Speaker 1: Now the pool doesn't have access. But all the wives
Speaker 1: want this to happen so badly because there's hope that
Speaker 1: there might actually be a real man friendship to develop
Speaker 1: here because these are so rare.
Speaker 8: Manship?
Speaker 5: It really is very rare, and no one talks about
Speaker 5: how hard it is to make friends in your mid-50s.
Speaker 10: Right.
Speaker 1: So they had an emergency. They've now switched the play
Speaker 1: date to my house.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 1: And so I just got an emergency message from my wife, Jess, saying,
Speaker 1: can you please pick up snacks? And so I was
Speaker 1: just calling to find out, do you need me to
Speaker 1: be there to help chaperone this play date?
Speaker 2: TJ's happy to work late today.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Pretty much what he's trying to say.
Speaker 5: So it's more of a group date where like you
Speaker 5: know when you're a little like maybe you're 14 and
Speaker 5: you go to a girl with a movie but mom
Speaker 5: makes you go with a big group right that's what
Speaker 5: it is that's so my parents are coming uh obviously
Speaker 5: it's gonna be but i i think i'm feeling like
Speaker 5: at a certain point they're gonna kind of all back
Speaker 5: away and they're gonna leave me alone at one point
Speaker 5: to really get our vibe on.
Speaker 9: That is just like a 14-year-old group.
Speaker 7: You all come together and then.
Speaker 9: You leave the couple alone so they can do, I
Speaker 9: don't know, whatever they want.
Speaker 5: My sister's going to be there, my wife, TJ, and
Speaker 5: my parents are there to make sure that nothing.
Speaker 1: No fights.
Speaker 5: We're not even social media friends.
Speaker 1: Josh, I'm going to be there to help support this
Speaker 1: potential friendship because I do believe man friendships are very important.
Speaker 1: They've been life-changing for me. But these are the extremes
Speaker 1: that women are going to across the nation just to
Speaker 1: make men friends.
Speaker 5: But TJ, you've got to mention that this is stressful
Speaker 5: because it was at a pool, right? Pools are great.
Speaker 5: There's always something to do.
Speaker 1: You jump in the water, right?
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 5: We're now not at the pool. We're at Jess's house,
Speaker 5: and they don't even have a TV set up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't like TVs. See you today at the house, okay?
Speaker 11: All right, buddy.
Speaker 1: We had to do this. Not many shows have segments
Speaker 1: for pets, but this started because my wife Jess was
Speaker 1: leaving the house one day. Our dog Luna was there
Speaker 1: in the living room all alone. She's like, you know what?
Speaker 1: I'll turn the radio on, keep her company. She'll hear
Speaker 1: Dada's voice. Turns out she got home My dog was
Speaker 1: totally asleep, bored with the show. Then we figured it
Speaker 1: out very quickly. We were only talking about human-related issues.
Speaker 1: So we switched it up real fast. We started featuring
Speaker 1: the biggest stories in animal headlines. We called it Luna's
Speaker 1: Animal Tales. Other pets love this, too. Let's go to
Speaker 1: Lake Tahoe. A woman was swimming, and she felt... quote,
Speaker 1: teeth and claws.
Speaker 7: Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 1: And then a river otter attack ensued. This thing went
Speaker 1: absolutely bananas on her, pulled her underwater.
Speaker 7: Get out.
Speaker 1: Grabbed her leg.
Speaker 7: That little thing, there's no way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're cute, too. Gotta be careful about the
Speaker 1: cute things. Mm-hmm. And relentlessly bit her, scratched her. She
Speaker 1: managed to break free, climb onto nearby rocks. She drove
Speaker 1: herself to the hospital. She had 22 stitches. She got
Speaker 1: a rabies shot. And this was the second otter attack
Speaker 1: at Lake Tahoe in one month. So weird.
Speaker 3: You know, I think we talked about this a few
Speaker 3: months ago. Wasn't there like an otter attack in Lake
Speaker 3: George area up.
Speaker 8: In New York?
Speaker 1: It was a beaver. They're all angry.
Speaker 7: What's happening with these furry little creatures?
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was another attack recently reported in Anchorage, Alaska.
Speaker 1: And what's weird about this is physical attacks on humans...
Speaker 1: were exceedingly rare, and they say they still are rare.
Speaker 1: They only have 39 documented instances recorded worldwide between 1875
Speaker 1: and 2011. Wow. But where are the 2011 to now stats?
Speaker 8: They're still counting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like they've gotten angrier, and we've got to
Speaker 1: figure out what's going on there.
Speaker 7: They're fed up, man. They're protesting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what's happening.
Speaker 7: You know how the joke is, like, old people are like,
Speaker 7: get off my lawn. These creatures are like, get out.
Speaker 8: Of my water!
Speaker 1: Get out of my river! Get out of my river!
Speaker 1: Then in Big Sky, Montana, there was a woman who
Speaker 1: was faced with a mama moose. The moose started charging
Speaker 1: towards the woman in her own backyard, and she had
Speaker 1: her dogs with her. She took a little bit of
Speaker 1: a fall, which has got to be scary. You lose
Speaker 1: your footing in front of a mama moose. She was
Speaker 1: able to get to some bear spray, and that eventually
Speaker 1: kept the moose away from her pets. People on social media,
Speaker 1: of course, defending the moose. saying, well, she had a
Speaker 1: calf nearby, so that's why she was angry. Which, yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess you don't want to mess with a moose
Speaker 1: and a baby calf.
Speaker 7: Yeah, what's up with these dogs, though? They didn't do
Speaker 7: anything about it.
Speaker 2: Well, the dog reportedly had bad eyesight and couldn't really hear.
Speaker 8: It was an old dog.
Speaker 1: So she's calling for the dog in the video.
Speaker 8: It's pretty funny.
Speaker 2: The dog's not reacting.
Speaker 1: There's a what in the yard? Are you kidding?
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 11: What?
Speaker 4: Where are you?
Speaker 1: Here are some dogs that are heroes, actually. Actually, this
Speaker 1: is in Montana. A bear got into another woman's backyard. Gina, Alvin,
Speaker 1: and Bear the dog were faced with a giant black bear.
Speaker 1: I wonder if she was calling for Bear, and the
Speaker 1: bear was like, who, me? What are you talking about?
Speaker 6: Maybe.
Speaker 1: Both my daughter and I were grateful that everyone was okay.
Speaker 1: But it's so funny because I've never heard the name Alvin,
Speaker 1: because the other dog's name was Alvin. This woman was screaming, Alvin!
Speaker 5: Alvin!
Speaker 1: I've never heard that in context. It's always been in
Speaker 1: a cartoon. Thankfully, everyone's okay. Those are Luna's Animal Tales,
Speaker 1: the biggest stories in animal headlines. Nikki in South Carolina.
Speaker 1: Is that really you?
Speaker 5: Yes, what have you been doing, manly?
Speaker 1: You know, I always expect you to call on a Monday. Because,
Speaker 1: you know, I keep a list for when you call.
Speaker 1: I want to be ready with it. Nikki was pretty threatening, actually.
Speaker 1: A few weeks ago, she took my man card away.
Speaker 1: She said that because I complained about my pinky hurting me,
Speaker 1: that I had to have my man card removed. I
Speaker 1: went to a podiatrist. I thought my pinky was broken.
Speaker 1: Turns out it was the shoes that I was wearing.
Speaker 1: And you didn't like that. No, I did not.
Speaker 7: Because I thought that was very wimpy.
Speaker 8: It was also your fear of roller coasters.
Speaker 1: Yes. Well, there's plenty of reasons to be afraid of
Speaker 1: roller coasters.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the fact that you were at a cookout
Speaker 3: hanging out with all the ladies instead of actually hanging
Speaker 3: out with the fellas.
Speaker 1: No, I love talking to.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: My wife's friends are very interesting, okay? And I pay
Speaker 1: attention to them. Okay, so fast forward now. You are
Speaker 1: claiming you still have my man card, and you've been
Speaker 1: checking in to find out what manly things I've been doing? Yes. Well,
Speaker 1: I've been very excited to share this with you.
Speaker 7: Are you going to read off your list? Do you
Speaker 7: have a list to share or something?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, no, I've been keeping a list, and here's the
Speaker 1: biggest one. I'm going to start with the star here.
Speaker 1: A friend of mine does electrical work, and I needed
Speaker 1: to get a number off of the back of a
Speaker 1: light in a really tall building. I wrote a lift,
Speaker 1: and I controlled it myself. I went up many, many
Speaker 1: feet to the ceiling to get the number off the light.
Speaker 7: Was somebody in the lift with you?
Speaker 5: Wait, what did the size of the building have anything
Speaker 5: to do with what you were doing?
Speaker 1: No, because I was on a scissor lift.
Speaker 5: Inside, how tall was the ceiling?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like 20 feet in the air.
Speaker 10: All right, that's a wash.
Speaker 5: What do y'all got?
Speaker 7: No, I have a question. Since Nikki sounds like 50 Cent,
Speaker 7: she got 21 questions. I have one too. Did you
Speaker 7: go on the lift by yourself?
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 7: By yourself?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did.
Speaker 7: No one was in it with you?
Speaker 1: No, I controlled it myself.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 5: Did you have the safety device on?
Speaker 1: Yes, of course.
Speaker 7: I had multiple bars. Did you have a helmet on too?
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I want to make sure I was protected.
Speaker 5: OMG! What else you got?
Speaker 1: Thanks for asking. I do have another one. I have
Speaker 1: a huge machete that I now use to cut my watermelons.
Speaker 1: And I karate chop it to cut it. And I
Speaker 1: eat watermelon off of the knife. I actually have it.
Speaker 1: Off the tip of the machete.
Speaker 5: You're not impressed. You're making a mess in the kitchen
Speaker 5: that doesn't need to be made. You're like Gallagher in
Speaker 5: the kitchen.
Speaker 9: With a watermelon.
Speaker 7: Did you clean up after yourself, TJ?
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course I did.
Speaker 11: All right.
Speaker 7: You can get the man card back. Half of one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but he, J-Bo, he cleans like a man. So,
Speaker 5: is it clean?
Speaker 1: I use bleach wipes. I wear rubber gloves, but I
Speaker 1: wear bleach wipes. I do bleach wipes.
Speaker 7: Oh, why'd you mention the rubber gloves?
Speaker 1: I want to be honest with you.
Speaker 6: Dude!
Speaker 5: You hear yourself.
Speaker 1: I don't want to hide anything. What? Nikki, listen. I'll
Speaker 1: try again next week.
Speaker 5: Do better.
Speaker 3: Please.
Speaker 5: Do better.
Speaker 1: I love you, Nikki. You have a great day.
Speaker 3: I love you more.
Speaker 7: He sounds so defeated.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's ridiculous. I thought for sure that I was
Speaker 1: going to sell her on this. All right, we'll catch
Speaker 1: you soon.
Speaker 7: That's okay.
Speaker 1: Our Heather here, she got a brand new car, right?
Speaker 1: We were all celebrating for her because her old car...
Speaker 1: If it got wet, I think it would break down.
Speaker 1: Is that the story?
Speaker 7: It wouldn't accelerate.
Speaker 9: So you couldn't go over like 25 miles an hour.
Speaker 7: Which is hard for you because you love to speed
Speaker 7: and break the speed limit. And it's inconvenient when you're
Speaker 7: on a highway. Oh, no, that's scary.
Speaker 1: When you see just a drizzle, you go, oh, this
Speaker 1: is going to happen again. And the next thing you know,
Speaker 1: Heather needs help. But we're very happy for you. We
Speaker 1: were celebrating. You got a brand new car taken into
Speaker 1: this era. It's got all the fancy computer stuff in it.
Speaker 7: It's too much, actually.
Speaker 1: Heather tells me, oh, by the way, when I connect
Speaker 1: my phone to the car, because everything is pretty much
Speaker 1: done through the phone now, we're driving around these computers,
Speaker 1: it would just turn everything off with your phone, and
Speaker 1: it would reset every drive.
Speaker 9: Right, just like the Apple CarPlay, the computer, not the
Speaker 9: car itself. The monitor would freeze, and then it would
Speaker 9: take five, six minutes to reboot. It was just a
Speaker 9: mild inconvenience, and it's annoying because it's a brand new car.
Speaker 1: I was like, take it to the shop.
Speaker 8: It's new.
Speaker 1: You shouldn't have to deal with that. Never mind inconvenience.
Speaker 1: It should just work. And so you bring it in,
Speaker 1: sure enough, they had to replace a CPU.
Speaker 5: Right, yeah.
Speaker 7: Which is like the brain of the computer. Right, that's
Speaker 7: exactly what they told me. It's the brain of the computer.
Speaker 1: It's so annoying. Everywhere we turn, there's a computer problem.
Speaker 1: But the good news about this, so I drove you
Speaker 1: home yesterday. I got to meet your dog, Sassy.
Speaker 7: Yeah, isn't she the cutest?
Speaker 1: Well, cutest and outrageously old. This dog is 15.
Speaker 7: Going to be 15 in September. Wait, it is September.
Speaker 6: On the 23rd.
Speaker 1: 23rd. Okay.
Speaker 7: Disrespect.
Speaker 1: And this dog didn't care that I was there, but
Speaker 1: it was so calm. And I'm like, is everything okay?
Speaker 1: And you were like, yeah, she's almost 15. I was like, okay, great.
Speaker 1: But like nice hair, no weird missing patches of fur
Speaker 1: or anything.
Speaker 7: No, she looks great for a 15-year-old dog.
Speaker 1: Looks like a hot dog, if you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: No, I know what you're saying. Hot dog, hot diggity dog.
Speaker 1: But to your car being so complicated. So yesterday, I
Speaker 1: get home. And my daughter, Willa, very nicely, because I've
Speaker 1: trained her, if you start tantruming because you want something,
Speaker 1: the answer is going to be no.
Speaker 7: Did you say I trained her?
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 7: Those are words you say for a dog.
Speaker 1: Well, I just, I had to show her. You taught her.
Speaker 1: I taught her, right. That's what I meant to say.
Speaker 7: I play fetch with my nieces all the time.
Speaker 1: Oh my God.
Speaker 3: Go get it.
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is, okay, so I was begging them,
Speaker 1: all of my kids, I said, will you please quit Nintendo?
Speaker 1: I'm so over Nintendo because they've made it so complicated,
Speaker 1: just like the cars are now so complicated.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: You have to jump through, as a parent, so many
Speaker 1: hoops just to get your kid to be able to
Speaker 1: play a game. They wanted to play this new game
Speaker 1: called Fall Guy. Okay. I don't know what it is,
Speaker 1: never heard of it, but one friend says it, then
Speaker 1: a whole friend group has to get it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's usually how it works.
Speaker 1: You've got to confirm that you're the parent. You've got
Speaker 1: to click on a link. You've got to use an
Speaker 1: email address. The days of putting a cartridge in a
Speaker 1: system to play are long gone. My kids have no
Speaker 1: idea it was that easy.
Speaker 3: You know, the same way you can go to antique
Speaker 3: shops and buy vintage things and go to thrift stores
Speaker 3: and buy vintage clothes, you can go to gaming stores
Speaker 3: and buy vintage game consoles.
Speaker 1: I would love it. I would love it. They refuse it.
Speaker 7: Go get a Nintendo 64 and that's it.
Speaker 1: I wish it was that easy. I really do. But
Speaker 1: they're all connected with their friends.
Speaker 2: They have to get rid of their friends in order
Speaker 2: for that to happen.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 3: Or you have the friends over at your house hanging out.
Speaker 7: Do you want that, though?
Speaker 1: I would love it, but it doesn't exist anymore. It's
Speaker 1: so– everything's so complicated. But anyway, love the world. Happy
Speaker 1: to be here. You guys want to do this again tomorrow? Yeah.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 1: This is The TJ Show.
Speaker 11: What if the success everyone sees isn't the whole story?
Speaker 1: I'm Jamal Marshall.
Speaker 11: Host of the Listen and Speak podcast. Every week, I
Speaker 11: sit down with entrepreneurs, leaders, authors, coaches, and people with
Speaker 11: powerful stories that go beneath the surface of what they've
Speaker 11: accomplished and into the experience, beliefs, struggles, and decisions that
Speaker 11: shape who they become. Because you can look successful on
Speaker 11: the outside and still feel depleted on the inside. We
Speaker 11: explore burnout, boundaries, mental health, leadership, relationships, resilience, and the
Speaker 11: why behind the what. Listen and Speak uncovers the insights
Speaker 11: you can actually use. We listen to understand the whole person,
Speaker 11: not just the resume and the accolades. If you're ready
Speaker 11: for conversations that go deeper, that move you forward, search
Speaker 11: Listen and Speak wherever you get your podcasts. Listen deeply,
Speaker 11: speak boldly, do the work.
