Speaker 3: Yeah, let's go over to the UK in North Wales,
Speaker 3: in the tiny town of Wexham Village.
Speaker 2: What we got going on there?
Speaker 3: Frustrated residents have well, I guess you could say they've
Speaker 3: taken matters into their own hands regarding a main stretch
Speaker 3: of road through their small village that is desperately in
Speaker 3: need of repair.
Speaker 2: It's full of potholes. Yeah, big time.
Speaker 1: There's a pothole on my street that's been there for
Speaker 1: going on two weeks now.
Speaker 2: Pretty pretty deep sucker.
Speaker 3: This and I have some pictures of what's going on
Speaker 3: in Wrexham Village on our jr. Facebook page if you
Speaker 3: want to get a visual on this. They're having a
Speaker 3: little bit of fun by declaring their small village a
Speaker 3: new tourist destination called pothole Land, where they've put up
Speaker 3: a sign welcoming visitors to the attraction featuring quote the deepest, longest,
Speaker 3: widest potholes in all of Wales.
Speaker 2: I see the post that you put up two.
Speaker 3: Kilometers of award winning potholes with very little actual road
Speaker 3: to spoil your fun.
Speaker 1: It's this big, you know, like you see signs on
Speaker 1: the side of the road. This thing's pretty massive. Pothole
Speaker 1: Land with three stars on it.
Speaker 2: Who was it?
Speaker 1: Who's the famous actor or musician who filled the pothole.
Speaker 2: In their street? Was that? Was it? Not Arnold? Actually?
Speaker 2: I think Arnold did was doing street repair.
Speaker 1: Arnold Schwartzenegg and somebody else did it as well. Like
Speaker 1: a musician or.
Speaker 2: Ninety nine percent sure it was Arnold. You're right on that.
Speaker 3: But then there's been other stories we've had where people
Speaker 3: have planted, like Christmas trees and stuff in potholes. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and things they've been there so long they start growing
Speaker 3: out of there till the cities finally get oh, maybe.
Speaker 2: We should do something about mm hmm, pothole land.
Speaker 1: All right, let me see, I just googled famous actor
Speaker 1: who fixed Itn't it?
Speaker 3: It was Arnold Aie Yep. Okay. You ever gone for
Speaker 3: a job interview and maybe have it not go the
Speaker 3: way you expected because you were perhaps asked a question
Speaker 3: you were anticipating, or perhaps ran into some sort of
Speaker 3: unanticipated barrier.
Speaker 1: A lot of employers will do that now, where they
Speaker 1: just throw a question out of left field, just like
Speaker 1: whoom where to see what your reaction would be, how
Speaker 1: well you think on your toes.
Speaker 3: A bunch of potential employees have all had the same.
Speaker 3: They're referring to it as a bizarre interview request that
Speaker 3: takes place if you make it to the face to
Speaker 3: face interview process for this where it's an energy supplier
Speaker 3: power company type deal in somewhere in England.
Speaker 1: Aren't there a lot of tricks now? Because you said
Speaker 1: make it face to face, but where you're interviewing and
Speaker 1: it's AI generated, so you have to I.
Speaker 2: Don't want to get in the weeds. That is a thing,
Speaker 2: am I correct? Yes?
Speaker 3: There are somewhere you think you're being interviewed by a
Speaker 3: human and it's it's it's a lot. But so here's
Speaker 3: the process for this energy company. They your initial application
Speaker 3: is put in online, right, you go through a screening
Speaker 3: process there. If you make it through that, they whittle
Speaker 3: it down to some candidates that are given face to
Speaker 3: face interviews, and they generally have those at their offices
Speaker 3: and folks show up and you go in for the
Speaker 3: face to face. At one point during the interview, all
Speaker 3: the candidates are asked the same thing, Could you please
Speaker 3: sing a song for me?
Speaker 2: No problem?
Speaker 3: You would think you that's not something you would expect
Speaker 3: to be asked to do. But if if someone asked
Speaker 3: you to do that, would you be able to be
Speaker 3: quick enough to respond and spew something.
Speaker 2: It doesn't say it have to be good.
Speaker 3: You don't have to be a professional vocalist. This is
Speaker 3: just the company claims. This is I think on your
Speaker 3: feet exercise. Can you You know.
Speaker 1: They want to know if there's a power outage, how
Speaker 1: you're gonna think on your feet?
Speaker 2: So sing us a song?
Speaker 3: You just responded, the power will be restored by three
Speaker 3: o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Speaker 2: No, but you can put that in the song. Fun.
Speaker 2: Power's back on. Hello, residence of Pothole Town. We got power.
Speaker 2: You gotta remember I'm the lead singer of JST.
Speaker 3: That's right, Yeah, that's what you really, I mean you are.
Speaker 3: It's an area of expertise for you. That's junior swat
Speaker 3: team from when Bob was pre pre pubescent.
Speaker 1: Teen we were there was a swat team already. It was,
Speaker 1: you know, like our older siblings and people that we
Speaker 1: really admired, who smoked pot. Yeah, and then we we
Speaker 1: I didn't have an older sibling on the original swat team,
Speaker 1: but you still aspired nonetheless.
Speaker 2: Yes, Delta Dave did so.
Speaker 1: Then we became JST and we had hit singles. You
Speaker 1: may have heard some like Bloody Boogers and Smelly Farts
Speaker 1: and over the years.
Speaker 2: Can you smile?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 2: Can you?
Speaker 3: Can you sing us a little bit of that? Pretend
Speaker 3: we're doing an interview, could you? Mister is it is
Speaker 3: it Bob? Is your last name Bob? Yes, yes, it's
Speaker 3: Taco Bob. Could you please sing a little bit of
Speaker 3: your favorite song for me?
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna go with the JST original JST what's that?
Speaker 1: As Junior Swat Team. They were big back in the
Speaker 1: eighties with their hit single Bloody Buggers and Smelly.
Speaker 2: Farts him Rody Buggers It smelly fall.
Speaker 1: That's about all that we have in that one. But
Speaker 1: I can sing you anything you can. Still it's still
Speaker 1: a work in progress.
Speaker 2: I know it's it's a hit.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows it around It's it's even bigger in Europe.
Speaker 1: But listen, we got jingles.
Speaker 2: I'm good at.
Speaker 1: You can roll a roll o to your friend, or
Speaker 1: you can roll a roller to your pal. It's chucklate
Speaker 1: covered caramel. And then you have the other one, which
Speaker 1: is uh for some Hello mother, Hello father, Greetings from
Speaker 1: Camp Hilloa the swimming school here. But this place is
Speaker 1: not like home. I missed my fresh clean I was
Speaker 1: hellow cases.
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say I'm hired. You've got the job.
Speaker 3: But anybody who's a loyal listener this show knows he's
Speaker 3: not going to accept because he's not a europe dude.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's right. You would have to move to
Speaker 2: Europe to work for this energy company.
Speaker 1: That's why I was surprised that JST was even big
Speaker 1: in Europe because I'm not a europe dude. Somebody said
Speaker 1: karaoke's a deal breaker. Not happening. Somebody else just sing
Speaker 1: happy Birthday.
Speaker 3: Which they point out, Yeah, he's just it's not how
Speaker 3: good you are, it's can you do it? And they
Speaker 3: got thrown off by this. Yeah, I think it's in
Speaker 3: some ways genius.
Speaker 1: You remember when I was driving with my daughter, she's
Speaker 1: probably it's my youngest daughter, she was probably in sixth grade.
Speaker 1: I had picked her up and uh, and I busted
Speaker 1: out because JST was re evolving the band Sure reunion tour, Yeah,
Speaker 1: totally yeah, And it was the tour of Anyway and
Speaker 1: Harvester of Sorrow came on j R R.
Speaker 2: Of course you have a version of that, the Jazz
Speaker 2: t version.
Speaker 1: Harvester but air and she goes, eh, gross, what did
Speaker 1: you just say?
Speaker 3: Well, the short lived TikTok outage, of course, freaked out
Speaker 3: millions when it abruptly was shut off shortly before midnight
Speaker 3: Saturday night, and then only to be turned back on
Speaker 3: after executive order assured seventy five days leeway to try
Speaker 3: to comply with the mandated sale to a non Chinese entity.
Speaker 3: Sounds like something is moving in that direction. I guess
Speaker 3: we'll find out. But anyway, it was enough to have
Speaker 3: one Wisconsin teenager becomes so bent out of shape he
Speaker 3: tried to burn down his local congressman's office.
Speaker 4: We got a call early this morning. Apparently last night,
Speaker 4: around one o'clock, some nineteen year old from a nash
Speaker 4: She came down and decided to try to set our
Speaker 4: office on fire. They didn't get in the office, but
Speaker 4: nevertheless there was a lot of smoke in the office,
Speaker 4: which is obviously going to result in a lot of damage.
Speaker 4: A lot of the siding, an air conditioner look like
Speaker 4: they're quite damaged.
Speaker 2: But I suppose in today's.
Speaker 4: World, you know, things just keep getting worse, and rather
Speaker 4: than just call my office and saying let's open up TikTok,
Speaker 4: he decided to try to burn it down.
Speaker 2: I talked to people, and this is all.
Speaker 3: It's it's all that story on our Lunch and Taco
Speaker 3: blog a WJR dot com on the Facebook page as well.
Speaker 2: If you want more and some visuals.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just like the pothole land or whatever story JR
Speaker 1: Or Facebook page. But I talked to somebody who in
Speaker 1: this all went down. They go, oh my god, this
Speaker 1: official TikTok is off. I go, if you're really concerned
Speaker 1: with that, I think you need to check yourself. This
Speaker 1: kid's burning down a congressman's office.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to Yeah, did he TikTok? Now he couldn't.
Speaker 2: So it's the point, Bud, you know it was.
Speaker 3: It is funny because I'm look, Yes, our station has
Speaker 3: a TikTok account, and from time to time you'll see
Speaker 3: us contribute to that. But I don't do TikTok on
Speaker 3: my own. I just don't. Bob doesn't either, But even
Speaker 3: I but Saturday night, when I saw that story pop up,
Speaker 3: I was like, well, even though I don't it, it
Speaker 3: literally is giving the hint right in the the notification
Speaker 3: that something else is in play there that they were
Speaker 3: working on a resolution with the incoming. And sure enough,
Speaker 3: a few hours later, it's temporarily back up for now
Speaker 3: they try to sort through. It wasn't enough time, though,
Speaker 3: to prevent the Congressman's office from being set on fire,
Speaker 3: you're if you're that you know, I'm.
Speaker 1: Telling you exactly if you're if you're that concern that's
Speaker 1: going away. I mean, I know these influencers and I
Speaker 1: watched one and go, well, I have an entire community
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna lose.
Speaker 3: We some people do and run a lot of their
Speaker 3: business base through TikTok, and I can see that out there, sure, making.
Speaker 2: A ton of money on it. But man, sing me
Speaker 2: a song, pack, sing me a song. I'm the piano.
