19
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:56.479
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, let's go over to the UK in North Wales,

20
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.920
<v Speaker 3>in the tiny town of Wexham Village.

21
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:03.880
<v Speaker 2>What we got going on there?

22
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:08.079
<v Speaker 3>Frustrated residents have well, I guess you could say they've

23
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:12.879
<v Speaker 3>taken matters into their own hands regarding a main stretch

24
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:16.120
<v Speaker 3>of road through their small village that is desperately in

25
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:17.439
<v Speaker 3>need of repair.

26
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:20.120
<v Speaker 2>It's full of potholes. Yeah, big time.

27
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:22.840
<v Speaker 1>There's a pothole on my street that's been there for

28
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:24.840
<v Speaker 1>going on two weeks now.

29
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:26.680
<v Speaker 2>Pretty pretty deep sucker.

30
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:29.560
<v Speaker 3>This and I have some pictures of what's going on

31
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:33.920
<v Speaker 3>in Wrexham Village on our jr. Facebook page if you

32
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:37.920
<v Speaker 3>want to get a visual on this. They're having a

33
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:42.760
<v Speaker 3>little bit of fun by declaring their small village a

34
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:48.239
<v Speaker 3>new tourist destination called pothole Land, where they've put up

35
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:53.920
<v Speaker 3>a sign welcoming visitors to the attraction featuring quote the deepest, longest,

36
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:56.359
<v Speaker 3>widest potholes in all of Wales.

37
00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:59.239
<v Speaker 2>I see the post that you put up two.

38
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:03.439
<v Speaker 3>Kilometers of award winning potholes with very little actual road

39
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:04.719
<v Speaker 3>to spoil your fun.

40
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.719
<v Speaker 1>It's this big, you know, like you see signs on

41
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>the side of the road. This thing's pretty massive. Pothole

42
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Land with three stars on it.

43
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:14.520
<v Speaker 2>Who was it?

44
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Who's the famous actor or musician who filled the pothole.

45
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:26.000
<v Speaker 2>In their street? Was that? Was it? Not Arnold? Actually?

46
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:28.639
<v Speaker 2>I think Arnold did was doing street repair.

47
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Arnold Schwartzenegg and somebody else did it as well. Like

48
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:33.719
<v Speaker 1>a musician or.

49
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:38.280
<v Speaker 2>Ninety nine percent sure it was Arnold. You're right on that.

50
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:40.560
<v Speaker 3>But then there's been other stories we've had where people

51
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:45.039
<v Speaker 3>have planted, like Christmas trees and stuff in potholes. Yeah,

52
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:47.439
<v Speaker 3>and things they've been there so long they start growing

53
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:51.240
<v Speaker 3>out of there till the cities finally get oh, maybe.

54
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:54.280
<v Speaker 2>We should do something about mm hmm, pothole land.

55
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:57.520
<v Speaker 1>All right, let me see, I just googled famous actor

56
00:02:57.560 --> 00:02:59.039
<v Speaker 1>who fixed Itn't it?

57
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:04.120
<v Speaker 3>It was Arnold Aie Yep. Okay. You ever gone for

58
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:08.719
<v Speaker 3>a job interview and maybe have it not go the

59
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:13.360
<v Speaker 3>way you expected because you were perhaps asked a question

60
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:17.599
<v Speaker 3>you were anticipating, or perhaps ran into some sort of

61
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:20.080
<v Speaker 3>unanticipated barrier.

62
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.000
<v Speaker 1>A lot of employers will do that now, where they

63
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:26.599
<v Speaker 1>just throw a question out of left field, just like

64
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:30.039
<v Speaker 1>whoom where to see what your reaction would be, how

65
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:31.319
<v Speaker 1>well you think on your toes.

66
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:36.159
<v Speaker 3>A bunch of potential employees have all had the same.

67
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:40.240
<v Speaker 3>They're referring to it as a bizarre interview request that

68
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:43.759
<v Speaker 3>takes place if you make it to the face to

69
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:47.599
<v Speaker 3>face interview process for this where it's an energy supplier

70
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:50.960
<v Speaker 3>power company type deal in somewhere in England.

71
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:52.879
<v Speaker 1>Aren't there a lot of tricks now? Because you said

72
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:55.680
<v Speaker 1>make it face to face, but where you're interviewing and

73
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:59.080
<v Speaker 1>it's AI generated, so you have to I.

74
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Don't want to get in the weeds. That is a thing,

75
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:02.280
<v Speaker 2>am I correct? Yes?

76
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.039
<v Speaker 3>There are somewhere you think you're being interviewed by a

77
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:09.240
<v Speaker 3>human and it's it's it's a lot. But so here's

78
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:13.439
<v Speaker 3>the process for this energy company. They your initial application

79
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:16.800
<v Speaker 3>is put in online, right, you go through a screening

80
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:20.079
<v Speaker 3>process there. If you make it through that, they whittle

81
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:23.319
<v Speaker 3>it down to some candidates that are given face to

82
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:26.720
<v Speaker 3>face interviews, and they generally have those at their offices

83
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.079
<v Speaker 3>and folks show up and you go in for the

84
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:31.959
<v Speaker 3>face to face. At one point during the interview, all

85
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:36.399
<v Speaker 3>the candidates are asked the same thing, Could you please

86
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:37.839
<v Speaker 3>sing a song for me?

87
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:41.040
<v Speaker 2>No problem?

88
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:44.519
<v Speaker 3>You would think you that's not something you would expect

89
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.839
<v Speaker 3>to be asked to do. But if if someone asked

90
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.160
<v Speaker 3>you to do that, would you be able to be

91
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:51.639
<v Speaker 3>quick enough to respond and spew something.

92
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:53.160
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't say it have to be good.

93
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:57.879
<v Speaker 3>You don't have to be a professional vocalist. This is

94
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:01.399
<v Speaker 3>just the company claims. This is I think on your

95
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:03.839
<v Speaker 3>feet exercise. Can you You know.

96
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:06.199
<v Speaker 1>They want to know if there's a power outage, how

97
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:07.480
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna think on your feet?

98
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:08.639
<v Speaker 2>So sing us a song?

99
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:12.160
<v Speaker 3>You just responded, the power will be restored by three

100
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:13.360
<v Speaker 3>o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

101
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:15.040
<v Speaker 2>No, but you can put that in the song. Fun.

102
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Power's back on. Hello, residence of Pothole Town. We got power.

00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:43.759
<v Speaker 1>really admired, who smoked pot. Yeah, and then we we

110
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:47.839
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have an older sibling on the original swat team,

111
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:50.480
<v Speaker 1>but you still aspired nonetheless.

112
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:51.199
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Delta Dave did so.

<v Speaker 1>I can sing you anything you can. Still it's still

130
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:40.560
<v Speaker 1>a work in progress.

131
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:41.879
<v Speaker 2>I know it's it's a hit.

132
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:44.759
<v Speaker 1>Everybody knows it around It's it's even bigger in Europe.

133
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:47.600
<v Speaker 1>But listen, we got jingles.

00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:48.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm good at.

135
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:51.160
<v Speaker 1>You can roll a roll o to your friend, or

136
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:54.879
<v Speaker 1>you can roll a roller to your pal. It's chucklate

137
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:58.439
<v Speaker 1>covered caramel. And then you have the other one, which

138
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:05.079
<v Speaker 1>is uh for some Hello mother, Hello father, Greetings from

139
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:09.079
<v Speaker 1>Camp Hilloa the swimming school here. But this place is

140
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:12.720
<v Speaker 1>not like home. I missed my fresh clean I was

141
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:13.600
<v Speaker 1>hellow cases.

142
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:16.079
<v Speaker 2>I was just gonna say I'm hired. You've got the job.

143
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:21.040
<v Speaker 3>But anybody who's a loyal listener this show knows he's

144
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:24.639
<v Speaker 3>not going to accept because he's not a europe dude.

145
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:27.279
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, that's right. You would have to move to

146
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Europe to work for this energy company.

147
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:31.920
<v Speaker 1>That's why I was surprised that JST was even big

148
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:34.480
<v Speaker 1>in Europe because I'm not a europe dude. Somebody said

149
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:38.600
<v Speaker 1>karaoke's a deal breaker. Not happening. Somebody else just sing

150

153
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:48.600
<v Speaker 3>got thrown off by this. Yeah, I think it's in

154
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:49.639
<v Speaker 3>some ways genius.

155
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:51.800
<v Speaker 1>You remember when I was driving with my daughter, she's

156
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:55.120
<v Speaker 1>probably it's my youngest daughter, she was probably in sixth grade.

157
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:57.600
<v Speaker 1>I had picked her up and uh, and I busted

158
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:01.959
<v Speaker 1>out because JST was re evolving the band Sure reunion tour, Yeah,

159
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:06.000
<v Speaker 1>totally yeah, And it was the tour of Anyway and

160
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:08.639
<v Speaker 1>Harvester of Sorrow came on j R R.

161
00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Of course you have a version of that, the Jazz

162
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:11.600
<v Speaker 2>t version.

163
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Harvester but air and she goes, eh, gross, what did

164
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:18.519
<v Speaker 1>you just say?

165
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:25.600
<v Speaker 3>Well, the short lived TikTok outage, of course, freaked out

166
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:29.360
<v Speaker 3>millions when it abruptly was shut off shortly before midnight

167
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.559
<v Speaker 3>Saturday night, and then only to be turned back on

168
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.799
<v Speaker 3>after executive order assured seventy five days leeway to try

169
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:42.879
<v Speaker 3>to comply with the mandated sale to a non Chinese entity.

170
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:47.600
<v Speaker 3>Sounds like something is moving in that direction. I guess

171
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:51.519
<v Speaker 3>we'll find out. But anyway, it was enough to have

172
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:55.600
<v Speaker 3>one Wisconsin teenager becomes so bent out of shape he

173
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:59.919
<v Speaker 3>tried to burn down his local congressman's office.

174
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:03.200
<v Speaker 4>We got a call early this morning. Apparently last night,

175
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:06.440
<v Speaker 4>around one o'clock, some nineteen year old from a nash

176
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:08.519
<v Speaker 4>She came down and decided to try to set our

177
00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:11.519
<v Speaker 4>office on fire. They didn't get in the office, but

178
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:13.639
<v Speaker 4>nevertheless there was a lot of smoke in the office,

179
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:15.960
<v Speaker 4>which is obviously going to result in a lot of damage.

180
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:19.480
<v Speaker 4>A lot of the siding, an air conditioner look like

181
00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:20.519
<v Speaker 4>they're quite damaged.

182
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:22.399
<v Speaker 2>But I suppose in today's.

183
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:24.120
<v Speaker 4>World, you know, things just keep getting worse, and rather

184
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:27.320
<v Speaker 4>than just call my office and saying let's open up TikTok,

185
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:28.799
<v Speaker 4>he decided to try to burn it down.

186
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:31.840
<v Speaker 2>I talked to people, and this is all.

187
00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:35.480
<v Speaker 3>It's it's all that story on our Lunch and Taco

188
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:37.720
<v Speaker 3>blog a WJR dot com on the Facebook page as well.

189
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:39.080
<v Speaker 2>If you want more and some visuals.

190
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, just like the pothole land or whatever story JR

191
00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:44.279
<v Speaker 1>Or Facebook page. But I talked to somebody who in

192
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:46.320
<v Speaker 1>this all went down. They go, oh my god, this

193
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:50.759
<v Speaker 1>official TikTok is off. I go, if you're really concerned

194
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:53.519
<v Speaker 1>with that, I think you need to check yourself. This

195
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:56.000
<v Speaker 1>kid's burning down a congressman's office.

196
00:09:56.039 --> 00:10:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to Yeah, did he TikTok? Now he couldn't.

197
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:03.799
<v Speaker 2>So it's the point, Bud, you know it was.

198
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:08.600
<v Speaker 3>It is funny because I'm look, Yes, our station has

199
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:10.679
<v Speaker 3>a TikTok account, and from time to time you'll see

200
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:15.720
<v Speaker 3>us contribute to that. But I don't do TikTok on

201
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:19.960
<v Speaker 3>my own. I just don't. Bob doesn't either, But even

202
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:26.799
<v Speaker 3>I but Saturday night, when I saw that story pop up,

203
00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:30.720
<v Speaker 3>I was like, well, even though I don't it, it

204
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:34.759
<v Speaker 3>literally is giving the hint right in the the notification

205
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:40.240
<v Speaker 3>that something else is in play there that they were

206
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:43.919
<v Speaker 3>working on a resolution with the incoming. And sure enough,

207
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.039
<v Speaker 3>a few hours later, it's temporarily back up for now

208
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:51.080
<v Speaker 3>they try to sort through. It wasn't enough time, though,

209
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:54.399
<v Speaker 3>to prevent the Congressman's office from being set on fire,

210
00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:02.399
<v Speaker 3>you're if you're that you know, I'm.

211
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:05.559
<v Speaker 1>Telling you exactly if you're if you're that concern that's

212
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:08.799
<v Speaker 1>going away. I mean, I know these influencers and I

213
00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:11.679
<v Speaker 1>watched one and go, well, I have an entire community

214
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:12.720
<v Speaker 1>that I'm gonna lose.

215
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:14.759
<v Speaker 3>We some people do and run a lot of their

216
00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:19.919
<v Speaker 3>business base through TikTok, and I can see that out there, sure, making.

217
00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:21.840
<v Speaker 2>A ton of money on it. But man, sing me
