Speaker 2: and I know that it is brown Fry, the busiest
Speaker 2: day of the year for plumbers. And I'm not gonna

Speaker 2: Okay, maybe not. So I'm gonna I'm gonna say something
Speaker 2: nice about you, even though I don't know you. Okay.
Speaker 2: And then here's what's gonna happen for the next few minutes.
Speaker 2: Just so everybody, let's just set the stage. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: say something nice too, and about Eileen Gonzamas. Then we
Speaker 2: are gonna talk for a minute about this Trump guitar
Speaker 2: that Eileen was reporting on. They're being sued by Gibson
Speaker 2: for copying the less Paul body shape. I'm looking at
Speaker 2: it right now, and I have a couple of things
Speaker 2: that I do wish to say about it. As as
Speaker 2: a guitar person, and then we will start some handle
Speaker 2: on the news on this day after Thanksgiving. So, uh,
Speaker 2: when I was told you were going to be here,
Speaker 2: Alen Gonzalez, Yes, I did go scope out your Instagram,
Speaker 2: and I'm just glad to see you describe yourself as
Speaker 2: both a mom dog and a cat dog. I know
Speaker 2: you have one of each.
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm not biased. I love them both.
Speaker 2: Say so, yes, thank you, because I've had it up
Speaker 2: to here with that I'm a this person, which somehow
Speaker 2: means I can't be you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 2: I'm a dog person, so cats can all go to
Speaker 2: Hell or vice versa. I can't. I can't. I'm not.
Speaker 2: I won't do it anymore. I can't do it anymore.
Speaker 2: Anybody who says anything like that to me is immediately
Speaker 2: excommunicated from my life.
Speaker 4: Hey, I even had an iguana once.
Speaker 2: Oh that's pretty cool. I never had an iguana. I
Speaker 2: had bearded dragons.
Speaker 4: Oh cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah. All right, let's not spend too far off the
Speaker 2: beaten path other than to say heaps of praise upon you,
Speaker 2: lover of both of the major pets. Now this guitar
Speaker 2: you were reporting, uh, you know they're selling the Trump guitar.
Speaker 2: They're actually selling to an acoustic and electric And as
Speaker 2: to the electric Trump guitar that they are selling, they
Speaker 2: are being sued by Gibson for copying the trademarked Les
Speaker 2: Paul guitar shape. So here's the thing. I thought, well,
Speaker 2: let's go check out this Trump guitar because I want
Speaker 2: to know. I want to know the guitar things about it.
Speaker 2: What's the neck radius, does it have a truss rod?
Speaker 2: Does it have a double ended truss rod? What?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 2: What is it made of? What kind of pickups does
Speaker 2: it have? What kind of electronics might it have? So
Speaker 2: I'm looking at it now, and we start off pretty good.
Speaker 2: This is only for guitar people. The next minute or so,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry if you don't if you don't care about guitars,
Speaker 2: go go ad go ad to Brown Friday for a
Speaker 2: minute or two. So we start with it's a mahogany
Speaker 2: body and the neck is mahogany and the fret board
Speaker 2: is rosewood. And that's all great. Now what kind of
Speaker 2: pickups does it have? I really want to know. Well, unfortunately,
Speaker 2: this is what they're doing with the branding. You know,
Speaker 2: what kind of pickups it has? Maga forty five trump buckers.
Speaker 2: That's hilarious to me because, okay, so I know they're
Speaker 2: probably humbuckers, which are low noise pickups. I'm not going
Speaker 2: to get too far into the weeds, but calling them
Speaker 2: maga forty five shrump buckers is weird. But even weirder,
Speaker 2: what kinds of strings does it come with? Most of
Speaker 2: the time, when you buy a new guitar, they don't
Speaker 2: get into what brand of strings are on it. They
Speaker 2: might tell you the gauge of the strings that are
Speaker 2: on it. But in this case, they're telling you. You
Speaker 2: want to know what kind of strings come on your
Speaker 2: trump guitar. They're called maga benders. All right, Maga, I
Speaker 2: don't it's I it's fifteen hundred dollars this guitar. I
Speaker 2: need to know more. What is the what is the
Speaker 2: wiring of a trump bucker guitar? Pickup? Do I even
Speaker 2: want to look at the acoustic guitar? We're already so
Speaker 2: far off where we're supposed to be. Let's take a
Speaker 2: look now the oh that is. I am not trying
Speaker 2: to upset anybody. I think I think I don't know
Speaker 2: if anybody's listening, who's familiar with me at all. I mean,
Speaker 2: I've been on a station a long time. Some people
Speaker 2: might kind of go, yeah, I've heard him. I'm not
Speaker 2: even political. I don't. This acoustic trump guitar is ugly.
Speaker 2: It is super ugly. I'm sorry. You can go look
Speaker 2: at it and tell me if you dis Actually, don't
Speaker 2: tell me, because I don't care. So this is a solid,
Speaker 2: solid spruce body. Okay, they don't even know how to
Speaker 2: describe a guitar because they're telling me the body is
Speaker 2: solid spruce. But then they're telling me the backs and
Speaker 2: sides are a different kind of wood, so then the
Speaker 2: body can't be spruce. They maybe they mean the top
Speaker 2: is solid spruce, the neck is mahogany, the red board
Speaker 2: is rosewood. That's nice. These come with magatne strings. Hey,
Speaker 2: what kind of strings do you play? Oh? I play
Speaker 2: Ernie Ball, fossphor bronze. What do you play? Oh? I
Speaker 2: play Martin's What do you play? Oh? My guitars? They're
Speaker 2: all strung with magatne. There's way too much graphically going
Speaker 2: on with this guitar. It's got a giant eagle on
Speaker 2: the front of it, who's not even facing the right way.
Speaker 2: And a flag and this massive inlay across the neck
Speaker 2: that says make America great again. And it's too much.
Speaker 2: I'm not taking issue with the sentiment. I'm taking issue
Speaker 2: with the garishness of the thing. Well, it is Trump
Speaker 2: twelve hundred and fifty dollars for the acoustic, fifteen hundred
Speaker 2: for the electric. Be interesting to see what happens with
Speaker 2: the lawsuit with Gibson. All right, here's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 2: We're gonna start handle on the news right now because
Speaker 2: we do have something that's important for some people to hear.
Speaker 2: And then we'll get some news from my Lincolnzalas, and
Speaker 2: then we'll continue the show and I'll try to be
Speaker 2: more professional. So lead story, is there a thing? Sorry,
Speaker 2: I sprung that on you, Kono, and I apologize. There
Speaker 2: isn't a evacuation warning for some parts of Riverside County
Speaker 2: because of a fire called the Canyoncrestfire that started out
Speaker 2: when the fire department got to it. Originally it was
Speaker 2: one hundred by one hundred feet, considered a spot fire,
Speaker 2: and very quickly it went to ten acres and then
Speaker 2: eighty five acres. Zero percent containment, and so the important
Speaker 2: thing is if you are in this area, you are
Speaker 2: under an evacuation warning. And you will know if you
Speaker 2: are in Riverside County and I tell you these borders,
Speaker 2: you will know north of the sixty east of County
Speaker 2: Village Road, south of the Riverside San Barnino County Line,
Speaker 2: west of Sierra Avenue. And you can always go to
Speaker 2: rvcfire dot org and check out the latest evacuation zones
Speaker 2: and other information about this fire. They probably when they
Speaker 2: showed up, said oh, we'll take care of this in
Speaker 2: a few minutes. And that is not how it goes
Speaker 2: anymore with fires in southern California.
Speaker 3: It moved quick, and it was a decent day yesterday.
Speaker 3: I mean it was it was warm, yeah, I mean you.
Speaker 2: Didn't have it wasn't super dry, wasn't it. You didn't
Speaker 2: have the crazy winds. But it doesn't matter necessarily anymore.
Speaker 2: They will not be pop lockin and tiktoking in Australia
Speaker 2: if they are under the age of sixteen because their
Speaker 2: parliament has passed a ban on social media for kids
Speaker 2: under sixteen. They have like we do. They have a
Speaker 2: Senate and they have a House of Representatives. So this
Speaker 2: bill passed their Senate thirty four to nineteen and their
Speaker 2: House of Representatives one oh two to thirteen. And this
Speaker 2: puts the onus on the platforms themselves, not on the kids,
Speaker 2: not on the parents, but on the platforms who can
Speaker 2: be fined up to fifty million Australian dollars, which is
Speaker 2: about thirty three million real dollars that we have here
Speaker 2: in the United States, the best dollars in the world,
Speaker 2: if they have a problem with kids under sixteen getting
Speaker 2: accounts here.
Speaker 3: Now, my question is, though, if a kid lies about
Speaker 3: his age, I mean, how did they determine whether a
Speaker 3: kid is sixteen or younger.
Speaker 2: Well, here's the interesting part of this whole thing. The
Speaker 2: social media platforms, primarily in this case Meta, who's been
Speaker 2: pretty vocal about it. They're not complaining about the idea
Speaker 2: of restricting kids under sixteen, but they're saying this law
Speaker 2: went through too fast, and it doesn't spell out how
Speaker 2: they're supposed to deal with exactly what you're talking about, What,
Speaker 2: what will the procedures be, et cetera. So the correct
Speaker 2: answer to your question right now is I don't know.
Speaker 2: Nobody knows.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's nothing preventing anybody from life about when they
Speaker 3: were born.
Speaker 2: Unless they start to do what they have done in
Speaker 2: several states here in the United States with regard to pornography,
Speaker 2: which is you have to verify your age, not by
Speaker 2: checking a box that says, oh, yeah, I'm eighteen, but
Speaker 2: by either uploading drive your government ID, or some states
Speaker 2: have something where I guess it turns on your camera
Speaker 2: and you show them your face and then it uses
Speaker 2: an algorithm to determine if you're over eighteen or not.
Speaker 2: And if the algorithm says, oh, this person is absolutely
Speaker 2: over eighteen, there's no question, then it puts a little
Speaker 2: token on your browser or something like that. It's pretty intrusive. Apparently.
Speaker 2: The correct answer, by the way, for you porn lovers
Speaker 2: who live in a state where they have this online
Speaker 2: ID thing and if you are over eighteen, the correct
Speaker 2: answer is to use a VPN and go through a
Speaker 2: server in a state that doesn't have that, and then
Speaker 2: you won't have to give the government that kind of
Speaker 2: sensitive information. Because I'm not believe me, I'm the last
Speaker 2: person who is going to get Pornography is the most
Speaker 2: evil thing in our society, and anyone who looks at
Speaker 2: it is a pervert. No, but I think we can
Speaker 2: all agree. Just like going to the bathroom, it's something
Speaker 2: almost everybody does, but it's still kind of private, so
Speaker 2: you really don't want the government to have that information.
Speaker 2: So now this is a little less perhaps upsetting in
Speaker 2: the sense of touching on a sensitive area of our
Speaker 2: lives wanting to have a TikTok account. So if they
Speaker 2: put into place some kind of age verification where you
Speaker 2: have to put an official ID or something, all the
Speaker 2: government could know, then you were trying to get an
Speaker 2: Instagram account, which is maybe less I don't know, less
Speaker 2: of a reckoning for you, but they don't know, is
Speaker 2: the long answer. Oh so if President elect Donald Trump
Speaker 2: spoke to the President of Mexico, Claudia Scheinbaum, and then
Speaker 2: they came away and they said some different things about
Speaker 2: what they discussed during the phone call, Like, for example,
Speaker 2: President elect Trump said, oh, she promised they're going to
Speaker 2: stop all the unauthorized border crossings on our border. That's
Speaker 2: what she promised me. And she said, no, I didn't
Speaker 2: we that's not what I said. There's also the issue
Speaker 2: of tariffs. The incoming Trump administration is talking a lot
Speaker 2: about putting tariffs on all kinds of items, from all
Speaker 2: kinds of countries, and there were people saying this is
Speaker 2: going to lead to a tariff war between the United
Speaker 2: States and Mexico, and the United States and China. We
Speaker 2: put a tariff, they'll put a tariff, and on and
Speaker 2: on and on. Well, the President of Mexico said, oh, no,
Speaker 2: I am confident we will not have a tariff war
Speaker 2: with the United States. Now, she won't say details of
Speaker 2: what specifically was discussed, promised, agreed to, offered in exchange
Speaker 2: or anything like that, but she is publicly saying she
Speaker 2: does not believe there will be a tariff war with Mexico.
Speaker 2: Raw milk lovers, there has been a recall of some
Speaker 2: raw milk that has bird flu in it. I think
Speaker 2: even if you are a proponent of raw milk, you
Speaker 2: would agree you would prefer not to have bird flu
Speaker 2: in your raw milk. So it's from a company called
Speaker 2: raw Farm LLC. And uh they're out of Fresno, and
Speaker 2: they've issued a voluntary recall. It's milk lot code number
Speaker 2: two O two four one notice. I said it in
Speaker 2: the in the public interest, I said it, but I
Speaker 2: said it too fast for anybody to remember it. Have
Speaker 2: you ever had raw milk. Not to my knowledge, I
Speaker 2: have not had raw milk either. Cono, like straight out
Speaker 2: of the utter, is that what milk means? I'm assuming
Speaker 2: that's not necessarily it. No, it can. It's been bottled
Speaker 2: and you know you can find it some places.
Speaker 5: Oh, just not like the warmed process goes through it. Right,
Speaker 5: that's I don't think so right, it's not passing good
Speaker 5: short answer, I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't think so that's all right. I lean.
Speaker 4: I don't even have to worry about the bird flu
Speaker 4: getting me that way, because I would get so sick
Speaker 4: from being lactose intolerant.
Speaker 2: Oh all right, so this is not this is not
Speaker 2: something you gotta worry about whether your milk is raw
Speaker 2: or cooked.
Speaker 4: No, not worried.
Speaker 2: Well anyways, So there you go. I don't know what
Speaker 2: to think about it. There's a big movement now that
Speaker 2: has really surged this year, the pro raw milk.
Speaker 4: People supposed to be good for you, supposedly, but not
Speaker 4: if it has verflue.
Speaker 2: Yeah, see that's not that's the problem. Every year this happens. People.
Speaker 2: Once you vent about a thing and then it keeps happening.
Speaker 2: Maybe find a new thing. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.
Speaker 2: There are always musical performers. This time around, you had
Speaker 2: I Believe the Temptations, you had Cocoa Jones, and you
Speaker 2: had Ariano Mattox and some other people. And people are
Speaker 2: all over social media screaming and yelling because those musical
Speaker 2: artists were lip syncing. Now, which is, first of all,
Speaker 2: what do you expect them to do in that kind
Speaker 2: of a setting where you're moving down the street and
Speaker 2: it's live TV. It's not if there were if it
Speaker 2: wasn't televised and it was just an event, maybe they
Speaker 2: could be up there singing, but they have to coordinate
Speaker 2: the audio with a live television broadcast. Yes, there's almost
Speaker 2: no way to do it live, and we know this
Speaker 2: from years previous. So to act like you've just discovered
Speaker 2: the deep dark secret of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade,
Speaker 2: which is the musical artist or lip syncing, you have
Speaker 2: discovered nothing, Magellan, nothing And did you give them a break?
Speaker 3: Did you hear before the parade that the bluey balloon.
Speaker 2: Yes, it went it went blue? Did you imagine didn't?
Speaker 2: But it didn't. Here's the thing, it didn't like explode. No,
Speaker 2: Apparently when they inflate the balloons. They're in some kind
Speaker 2: of netting. Yes, so it's in a partic but you
Speaker 2: hear it. You can hear it, popp and they knew
Speaker 2: immediately that it had popped. Yeah, how about that scandal.
Speaker 2: Let's get some more scandals. You can't listen the only time.
Speaker 2: There's two things I can think of where where performers
Speaker 2: performed live while moving down city streets. One of them Brockampton.
Speaker 2: Never mind, nobody knows Brockcampton anymore. The Beastie Boys on
Speaker 2: Letterman doing check it out where they start. I'm not
Speaker 2: sure where they started from specifically, but they were out
Speaker 2: on the street outside the Ed Sullivan Theater and they
Speaker 2: got a camera tracking them, and they're walking and the
Speaker 2: camera's moving, and they're doing there and they are live,
Speaker 2: absolutely live, and they end up going all through into
Speaker 2: the building, through the backstage and out onto the stage.
Speaker 2: Very cool, but limited distance. The only audio project of
Speaker 2: its type that the show had to deal with that day.
Speaker 2: And you can do something like that, But otherwise, please
Speaker 2: leave the Temptations alone.
Speaker 3: Oh and can we give people a heads up? This
Speaker 3: will happen at the Rose Parade too, so don't start
Speaker 3: complining about the lip syncing at the Rose Parade because
Speaker 3: it's gonna happen.
Speaker 2: Well, they're going to, they're going to. That's some people,
Speaker 2: that's their whole identity, that's their entire identity. Complaining specifically
Speaker 2: calling out lip syncing, that's what's on there, that's what's
Speaker 2: on their LinkedIn and their dating profile and their social
Speaker 2: media bio.
Speaker 5: I call out lip syncing. We're gonna be a devil's
Speaker 5: advocate for two seconds. Uh no, Just then, why say
Speaker 5: you're having live performances? They put it out on all
Speaker 5: the media outlets and say live performances from when you
Speaker 5: can just say we're going to have music from name
Speaker 5: your artist.
Speaker 2: This is the kind of pedantic nitpicking that I personally love.
Speaker 2: I'm serious, I'm not being sarcastic against you. This is
Speaker 2: you sound like me right now. And they absolutely could
Speaker 2: simply say with musical performances from the Temptations and War,
Speaker 2: why can't we seeing live? Why can't we seeing live?
Speaker 3: Could people sue as viewers?
Speaker 2: Ah, my friends, No, I'm lip syncing a lot alone. Well,
Speaker 2: except what do you pay? You don't pay anything to
Speaker 2: watch it, So what are your damages?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: Speaking of people upset about music. This one. I can
Speaker 2: kind of understand this one. I've never heard of these
Speaker 2: Jim oh well, it's one of Kono's, if not his
Speaker 2: favorite band that we're about to talk about. The band
Speaker 2: called Knocked Loose, which is, how would you describe them?
Speaker 2: They're like a hardcore metal, speed metal, grind core band.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, hardcore guy. I'm a big hardcore So it's
Speaker 5: like a metal core. It's like hardcore, but then it
Speaker 5: has heavy, heavy riffs.
Speaker 2: Heavy. Well, here's the deal. Instead of just trying to
Speaker 2: describe it and have people try to imagine it, we're
Speaker 2: going to play a little bit for you, not from
Speaker 2: the Jimmy Kimmel Show, but of their a single they've
Speaker 2: come out with with Poppy, you know, the entertainer Poppy.
Speaker 2: And they were on Jimmy Kimmel Live, which, yeah, you
Speaker 2: would not expect what you're about to hear on a
Speaker 2: show as mainstream as that. So you're in front of
Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmellive, your TV and they go and here's our
Speaker 2: musical guess, Knocked Loose with Poppy, and this is what
Speaker 2: you hear. Oh my god, all right, take it down,
Speaker 2: Take it down, Prono, take it down, because somewhere in
Speaker 2: there are some curses and I'm not sure where they go.
Speaker 2: So you get the idea of what kind of music
Speaker 2: that you're dealing with. So people are complaining about this now,
Speaker 2: including some woman who said that it scared her kids
Speaker 2: and that her son was crying because it was so scary.
Speaker 2: I'd put that on my album after that, I'm scar
Speaker 2: that would be the pull quote yeah, quote oh man,
Speaker 2: So that happened. Also, let's finish the segment with something.
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody's upset about this. Oh. Eileen Gonzalez
Speaker 2: has been reporting on this. The National Dog Show took
Speaker 2: place yesterday and the winner Best in Show first time
Speaker 2: ever for this breed, Veto the pug by Veto. If
Speaker 2: you're wondering what does Veto look like? If you know
Speaker 2: what a pug looks like, you know what he looks like.
Speaker 2: He looks like a pug. He's so cute, indistinguishable to
Speaker 2: me from any other pug, which is not a slam
Speaker 2: against him at all. I'm just saying, pugs really look
Speaker 2: like pugs. Beating out over two thousand other dogs from
Speaker 2: two hundred and five breeds.
Speaker 3: And he beat out the German shepherd a Great Dane,
Speaker 3: a Dalmatian, a Sheitu, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, and at Oskawha,
Speaker 3: which I don't remember what it looks like.
Speaker 2: But he's adorable. He was so cute. Yeah, he's a
Speaker 2: cute dog. But why did it win? It's just a
Speaker 2: little pust He was like this, Well, but you know
Speaker 2: if they walk them, they walk them around, it's their stride.
Speaker 2: I've watched it.
Speaker 5: That's why a pug has never won, because if you
Speaker 5: watch it and you're like, oh, you have to have
Speaker 5: you know, they lift their tail and they look in
Speaker 5: their butt.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah they do. So I don't know, like why
Speaker 2: this pug.
Speaker 3: It was just the perfect specimen of a pug. That's
Speaker 3: what wins is the perfect specimen of that breed.
Speaker 2: Literally, the length of his legs, the length between the torso,
Speaker 2: length between the legs, the height, the specific curvature of
Speaker 2: his little pug spine, all of these things. I mean,
Speaker 2: let's be honest. This is not a competition that you
Speaker 2: win from talent and hard work necessarily. It's mostly a
Speaker 2: competition that you win from genetics. Like life. It's like life, Like,
Speaker 2: yeah that life works. We all know that, ye damn
Speaker 2: it Michelle, Yes, can you possibly do you still have
Speaker 2: access to the X account for this show? I?
Speaker 3: I do have a access to the X account for the KFI.
Speaker 2: Okay, can guess? Can you please post the link for
Speaker 2: people to vote in the thing we're about to talk
Speaker 2: about because it's one of these god awful long URLs. Yes,

Speaker 2: a dog is to calm people down, that's a pretty
Speaker 2: helpful skill that she has. She also helps kids love
Speaker 2: reading with Nomi story time at the Beverly Hills Library.
Speaker 2: She does sixteen hours of support training every month. In fact,
Speaker 2: there is an event coming up on December thirteenth at
Speaker 2: the Beverly Hills Public Library Winter Tales with Nami. So
Speaker 2: let's vote her the winner of this thing. However, I mean,

Speaker 2: all right, Calm down, way, calm down.
Speaker 3: Hey.
Speaker 2: Now, this is not a scientific survey or anything like that.
Speaker 2: But apparently the New York Times asked people to just
Speaker 2: write in with their thoughts about Black Friday, and specifically
Speaker 2: the tradition of getting up early and going out and
Speaker 2: around to all the stores, and they got a lot
Speaker 2: of responses saying, we don't give a damn anymore, and
Speaker 2: we would rather sleep in. And there was a time
Speaker 2: maybe in our lives when it was fun to get
Speaker 2: up early and go stand in lines and go, you know,
Speaker 2: closeline another mom to be so that you can get
Speaker 2: the doll before she gets to the doll. But no more,
Speaker 2: which is true because Black Friday. Remember when it was
Speaker 2: big news and we thought we were being so clever
Speaker 2: and helpful when we would come on the radio and go,
Speaker 2: you know, Black Friday really isn't the day that retailers
Speaker 2: go from the red to the black anymore. We thought
Speaker 2: we were so cool because we knew that. But now
Speaker 2: Black Friday isn't anything. I mean I was getting emails
Speaker 2: for Black Friday sales two weeks ago, so.
Speaker 3: It's not a big deal like it used to be.
Speaker 2: It really well because of I think e commerce is
Speaker 2: a big part of it. You know, if I have
Speaker 2: an e store, I'm not gonna wait until Black Friday
Speaker 2: to give you a deal. I'll give it to you
Speaker 2: a week early and get your money. Then when Black
Speaker 2: Friday and the brick and mortars like bo we got
Speaker 2: a doorbuster on some gloves, and a lot of people
Speaker 2: are like I already bought gloves I bought gloves a
Speaker 2: week ago. Sorry. Also, it's much more pleasant to not
Speaker 2: have to get out of bed to do your shopping.
Speaker 2: You got to get out of bed early and put
Speaker 2: on clothes and go wait in a line with a
Speaker 2: bunch of stinky people, and then it's a madhouse and
Speaker 2: nobody has manners. And also, remember when we thought we
Speaker 2: were clever because we were revealing that the best deals
Speaker 2: of the year are usually not on Black Friday anymore. Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: it's Cyber Monday. Cyber Monday is a big thing, but
Speaker 2: really it's just once Halloween is over, you start to
Speaker 2: get I'm listen, I'm being stalked right now by a
Speaker 2: department store chain because I went on their website and
Speaker 2: I looked at some bath sheets and some fitted sheets,
Speaker 2: which are not the same kinds of sheets.
Speaker 3: As you know.
Speaker 2: Bass sheet is basically a huge towel and a fitted
Speaker 2: sheet is a sheet. And now every single day I
Speaker 2: get emails with this, an item that you browsed is
Speaker 2: on sale, an item that you browsed is low in stock,
Speaker 2: better buy it now. And it's it's incessant. The the
Speaker 2: marketing from businesses has gotten out of control, and it's like,
Speaker 2: you know, there's a reason I didn't buy it in
Speaker 2: the first place. You got, so don't keep sending it
Speaker 2: to me. You have a clear cookies Yeah, no, well
Speaker 2: it's too late because it's not a cookie, it's a pixel.
Speaker 2: It's those things they call pixels, which is a part
Speaker 2: of the website that you can't see that sends information
Speaker 2: to them about what you're looking at. That's what they're using.
Speaker 2: I don't mind, Listen. I have no problem with being
Speaker 2: contacted occasionally by some merchants that I've done business with,
Speaker 2: But honest to God, Bloomingdale's, I do not need seven
Speaker 2: emails a day from you because the same sphera fitted
Speaker 2: sheet is still on sale. I don't need that.
Speaker 3: Get it Wayne. They want you to come get it.
Speaker 3: That's why I know.
Speaker 2: Also, also, this is the time of year where you
Speaker 2: hear from merchants you have not done any business with
Speaker 2: for literally years. Yes, Oh, Sirlatob is back. I haven't
Speaker 2: been in one or purchased anything from a Sirlotab for
Speaker 2: probably ten years now. But oh, here they are like
Speaker 2: an ex, like an ex coming back with like, hey,
Speaker 2: it's been a while, how you doing. There's a reason
Speaker 2: we broke up.
Speaker 3: Because a spatch look us like fifty FUS dollars.
Speaker 2: Well, I just have no you know, you're not a
Speaker 2: part of my life anymore. It's kind of sad, really,
Speaker 2: it's a little bit sad. So anyway, Black Friday, everybody's
Speaker 2: over it. That's why you notice that we're not talking
Speaker 2: about it. We're not doing a segment on Black Friday
Speaker 2: or anything like that. All right, ladies and gentlemen, that
Speaker 2: is Handle on the news for this Friday after Thanksgiving.
