A Viral Fundraiser Changes A Life

SPEAKER_00 1:12

Hello, everyone. Welcome to this week's episode of Thirsty Topics. Hey, Merrill.

SPEAKER_01 1:19

Hey, I'm not thirsty. I have water and iced coffee.

SPEAKER_00 1:23

There you go.

SPEAKER_01 1:26

Our topics are thirsty, but we're not. I'm so good. I'm really good. Well, I'm actually good, and um I wanted you to know if I start us off today, it was a story that made me cry in a good way.

SPEAKER_00 1:42

Okay, that sounds actually pretty good. So uh let's go ahead and have you start off then.

SPEAKER_01 1:47

Okay, good. Wait, first, how are you?

SPEAKER_00 1:49

I am doing fantastic.

SPEAKER_01 1:51

Okay, good. Well, you're gonna be doing even better after you hear this one. I think everyone will. Um, I thought this was so sweet. So basically, there was recently a viral moment where an elderly DoorDash driver can now retire after a fundraiser took off. Um, in Tennessee, a 78-year-old DoorDash driver named Richard Pulley went viral after a customer saw him struggling to deliver her order and shared the ring camera footage online. The customer Britney Smith then launched a GoFundMe, and within days, the fundraiser brought in more than half a million dollars, with reports putting it around over$500,000. Um, the money is meant to help Pulley and his wife step away. He returned to work because of financial pressure, and I guess like she, I think she lost her job or you know, she lost her hours or whatever, and they needed money to meet her medication costs. So this like little 77-year-old man went as a DoorDash driver. And like, I I don't know what it is, but I just cannot watch like older people try hard at their jobs. It makes me ball my eyes out. Like, I saw a video the other day of a man that's like in his 70s, and I think he was um interviewing for a job at Chipotle or something, and someone put it on video and people were freaking out. And in a good way, I don't mind when this kind of stuff gets posted because I think like someone from the corporate office saw that one and they were gonna make sure he got a job. And in this case, like videotape him all we want because now this person has$500,000, and I just think like stuff like this gets to me and is so sweet, I think.

SPEAKER_00 3:30

Yes, definitely, and um I think it highlights something that we rarely talk about, and you know, growing up, and I'm probably dating myself a little bit, you know, you can work a regular blue-collar type job, um, you know, a maintenance worker, factory worker, and live a good life. You know, you have a car, you know, you you be able to buy a house, um, you know, take your occasional trips with your family. In other words, you, you know, you had a good life, you know, nothing extravagant, but you had a really good life. And, you know, those days are gone now. And I know we talk about how more and more young people are shying away from buying new homes just because they just can't afford it. And you have a lot of people that are being priced out of their homes now, you know, that can't afford rising prices and insurance and taxes and stuff. So it is great to hear about this story. And, you know, I applaud the people that gave to help this couple out. Um, but I think something on a on a on a much more greater uh platform, even on the political platform, needs to happen to address this because it's it's getting it's getting you know pretty bad out there, worse and worse, you know, with the obvious war and everything going on, gas prices creeping up to around five bucks a gallon. You know, at some point something has to give, you know.

SPEAKER_01 4:58

I know, but I also think too, like back in the day, if you were in your 70s and you did like need a job, like a a little cute mom and pop store, or you could go work at like a sweet little bagel shop or like a candy store and stuff, and now I just feel like people have to resort to DoorDash. Not that that's a bad thing if people want to do it, but it's like because now there's just like corporate CVSs, and unfortunately, people tend to not really hire people in their 70s anymore. And it's just, you know, like my grandma worked at a department, a clothes department when she was in her 70s, and like that was just kind of what grandmas do, you know, like they they if they want to, they get a job at Macy's or whatever, and now I don't think Macy's is hiring a ton of women in their 80s or whatever. So I I think it's harder too, because we don't have as many like wholesome type of jobs available anymore. It's all like weird corporate things.

SPEAKER_00 5:50

Yeah, and and you know, the other thing too is just because a person is older and they have a lot of experience doesn't mean that they really don't want andor need that job. So yeah, because uh I I remember the the big thing, and I don't know if it still goes on now where people don't get hired because they're quote unquote overqualified.

SPEAKER_01 6:10

Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've had that happen.

SPEAKER_00 6:12

Yeah, it's like me too, yeah. They need to work, you need to hire someone. Wouldn't you want something someone that could come in and jump right into your position?

SPEAKER_01 6:21

Just say, absolutely. I I I really do think there should be more of a um uh like a not a demand or an urgency, but we should make more of an emphasis on hiring people that are like applying for jobs that are 55 and over of retirement age. You know, I think that should they should get like special treatment just as much as someone right out of college should.

FDA Flags GLP-1 Drug Reporting

SPEAKER_00 6:44

That's true. That is definitely true. Well, talk about treatment. Now, everyone knows about the popularity of these new um GLP drugs that's out there right now. There's they fly under different names, you know, Zimpic, Wagobi, and there's several others as well. Uh a warning from the FDA to Nova Nordisk claiming that they failed to report serious side effects associated with its GLP1 weight loss drugs. Wow. So uh in a warning letter dated March 5th, 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, also known as FE FDA, accused Novonordisk of failing to properly report serious side effects and adverse events associated with this popular GLP1 weight loss and diabetes medications, um, commonly known under uh Wagobi and Osimpic. So some of the things that they're highlighting, um, one being unreported deaths, um, the FDA alleged that Novo Nordis failed to report three patient deaths, including a suicide case involving a patient taking uh semaglutide within the required time frame. Systematic reporting failures. Inspectors found that the company improperly invalidated some safety complaints and failed to investigate others suggesting systematic failures in their reporting systems. Um, another one would be failed follow-ups. The FDA noted that the company often disclosed uh often closed cases without conducting required follow-up investigations, particularly when reports came from non-healthcare professionals. Wow. That is crazy.

SPEAKER_01 8:54

Yeah, I just I was reading it here too, and basically they're saying the silent part out loud, which is just you know, a lot of people are taking these things now, and um, we're kind of seeing a rush of all of it, and I feel like in the next couple of years, hopefully not, but we're gonna see we're seeing some side effects already start to happen.

SPEAKER_00 9:12

Yeah, that's true. I mean, on the positive end, there's a lot of great that does with this because it's helping people lose the weight that they've been fighting to get off for such a long time. Um, it's helping people get off medications, so there's a lot of positives to it. Um, but you have to you have to show the whole story too. Yeah, because these are still relatively new drugs, we don't know what, if any, long-term effects are going to be with exactly, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:43

And I feel like a lot of people are on it that don't need they don't have diabetes, they don't have you know whatever they have, and so they're just kind of on it as like a vanity project. And I think hopefully not. Hopefully, people won't get bad side effects, but it is still freaky deaky. Um, and I've heard there are ones I know you name the semi-glutide ones. Like I've heard the small, small dosages of trisepatite are okay. Like, you know, I say okay with finger quotes, but like they they seem to be working out the problems that some of the earlier ones have had. Um, and I don't know, to me it's like one of those things that I think people are getting prescribed now via kind of clinics, and I'm like, I feel like you need an actual real doctor and someone that knows what they're talking about to diagnose you and treat you with this kind of stuff.

SPEAKER_00 10:29

Yeah. I mean, you know, there there are there are some people out there that truly do try to lose weight and oh yeah, what they do. So this is a great option for them to consider. Totally. Um, but I think the other thing too is you know, you have to give everyone the full story of what they're facing, even if it's a minute chance, because every every medication out there, including over-the-counter drugs, has some type of side effects to it. Most of the side effects are like so little that it's nil, but you still need to disclose that.

SPEAKER_01 11:10

Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 11:12

And and I think that um I applaud the FDA for at least you know, kind of waving the flag and kind of letting us know hey, just pay attention to these things. Now, is it going to stop people from using these drugs?

unknown 11:24

No.

SPEAKER_00 11:25

But um, I think it's best if a person knows what they're going into instead of being surprised too.

SPEAKER_01 11:32

Yeah, I agree. And as someone definitely like, I probably would benefit from being on one of these things because too, because it's like the food noise aspect. I think even just the physical part is one thing, but the mental chatter of food and just kind of having to struggle with like thoughts about food and going back and forth and all this kind of stuff, I feel like gives people a lot of relief. So I do, I like definitely think that it can be really, really helpful and very like full of relief for some people.

SPEAKER_00 11:58

Oh, absolutely. And there are some people out there that uh that stress eat. In other words, they eat when they're stressed. That's a real thing.

SPEAKER_01 12:08

So, you know, my my my yeah, my empty bags of potato chips are agreeing. I I really struggle a lot with like nighttime eating, and just you know, like for sure, that is a big struggle of mine in life, and it always has been, ever since like college and stuff, just wanting to eat like ramen at night and carbs at night, and you know, like having that kind of stuff. But we all have our things. Like, I don't know one person that has like a completely a hundred percent healthy relationship with food, like all of the time, you know.

SPEAKER_00 12:44

That is so true.

Weight Loss Benefits Versus Real Risks

SPEAKER_01 12:46

Yep. Um, okay, well, I love this one, this story to talk about. We just talked about employment, and now we're gonna talk about unemployment, where um an orange county woman just went viral for unemployment activities like turning butter on a run. So uh Orange County runner Irene Choi posted a TikTok showing herself carrying heavy cream in a bag inside her running vest during a six-mile run to see whether the motion would turn it into butter, as inspired by creator Lily Clare. The video took off, drawing more than 2.4 million views, and Choi described it as part of a playful unemployment activity series. Um, no, I think this is so cute. I just love hearing about what people do during their unemployment. Like, I've been there before, but any of the times I've been unemployed, I haven't had the privilege of like having a long time without money. Like either's been like a few days and I'm like, oh shit, I need to make money again. You know, like I wish I had like three months where I knew I didn't have to work. Um, but the times that I like didn't have a lot going on, I went to the movies a lot, probably too much. Like I would go to AMC theaters and then I would go to the museums a lot. And it's fun, but it does get a little like weird when you just feel like you're in retirement. So I didn't know. Did you have any unemployment activities ever?

SPEAKER_00 15:03

Um let's see.

SPEAKER_01 15:08

I just get very lazy. Yeah, stressing out. But I I get lazy and I get a little bit like indulgent.

SPEAKER_00 15:16

I don't know. I mean, I guess for me, um, you know, I I've been thankful that it's been rare that's been unemployed. Um but you know, you know, when it when when you deal with that, I I tend to kind of lean towards, you know, stuff that makes me happy. You know, like that's good. Production makes me happy, you know, puts a smile on my face.

SPEAKER_01 15:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 15:38

You know, I'm simple as a productive. You know, I I even watch some comedy on TV, you know, because that puts a smile on my face. You know, when you're serious all day, I love to be able to just laugh. I think laughter is medicine for everyone. So I just think that if if you're unemployed, do something that you love doing. You know, I'm not saying, you know, just give up and anything, but you know, do something that puts a smile on your face because it is going to tear you down and is going to wear at you if you don't have something else to bounce off of.

SPEAKER_01 16:07

Definitely. And I know we always say, I'm always like, oh, if I had more time, I'd write this book. If I had more time, I don't find that that works for me. I actually like if I have so much time, I kind of get nothing done or I don't get any. Like, I the times that I'm the most productive in my life are times that I already have like a job or structure. So I think it's a misnomer that people are like, if only I had all the time in the world, I could get this and this and this done. Maybe for some things that's true, but for me, like I I need to already kind of be in motion, and then other things happen. I feel like I implode on myself when like I don't have anything or any meetings or any outside things.

Unemployment Activities And Staying Sane

SPEAKER_00 16:47

I hear you. I hear you. You definitely got to keep your mind and your body moving while you're trying to get through that time. So I don't mention that. Well, uh, my next topic um is actually a hot button here. So the federal uh federal rule adds pressure to struggling trucking industry. So to be very specific, a new federal rule taking effect in March 2026, which is this month, restricts or revokes commercial driver's license CDLs for an estimated 200,000 non-citizen immigrant drivers. Threatening to worsen driver shortages and disrupt the supply chain, the rule targets holders of non-uh domicile licenses, including DACA recipients and asylum seekers, increasing pressure on the industry that is already battling high operation costs. So the basic impact, um, just highlighting a few things, is um the policy expected to remove thousands of experienced drivers from the road, just as the industry struggles to fuel runs. Uh, tighter regulations include increased scrutiny on non-domicile CDL holders, reducing overall freight capacity. Uh experts warned of potential delays and increased freight costs, which may uh raise consumer prices in addition to the already prices of fuel.

SPEAKER_01 18:29

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 18:31

So um increased enforcement of English proficiency standards has already led to thousands of drivers being placed out of service. So these changes designed to tighten security and safety are viewed by some operators as a significant hurdle in an already tough operating environment. So the interesting thing about this story, Mr. is that you know, a lot of people, when they hear about the trucking industry and stuff like this, understand that everything moves on a truck at one point or another. It's furniture, it's food, literally everything at one point moves on a truck. So when the prices go up for fuel, guess what? Prices go up to ship them. When they have a driver shortage, that means that drivers um, you know, they're gonna demand more money uh based on because it's based on on demand, supply and demand. So when you have a lot less drivers, those drivers become very premium at that time, especially in a in an area where you already have a situation where you don't have enough drivers to begin with before all this happened.

SPEAKER_01 19:47

So yeah.

SPEAKER_00 19:49

That was a mouthful.

SPEAKER_01 19:52

No, I agree with you. It's like what we don't need now is like a trucking crisis in the in the middle of everything with like diesel being high and like the DACA people. I'm like, that is like the wrong direction. I I love the idea of people being able to come here and like fulfill fulfill their dreams and build a better life. And it's just like, what are we if we're not letting people like appropriately apply and then be able to get in and you know, we don't have to go into the long list of people that are very important in our culture today who are like Docker recipients and everything, you know, very people that we know and love. But um yeah, I think the truckers have already had it so hard in the past couple of years and just with COVID and beyond that we don't need to make this area. And also, I feel like the trucking industry normally is like you don't want to have them angry voters, you know, because you you want to have truckers on your side pretty much if you're especially if you're gonna be thinking about an election in a few years, so um, they're an important group of people and families that you don't want to mess around with.

SPEAKER_00 20:56

That's true, and I'm just really surprised that as a whole the industry let it get this bad. And the reason why I say that is you know, there have been a shortage of truck drivers for years prior to all this happening, so this only just makes it to me 10 times worse. And now we're at a point where you're in crisis mode, so there could have been stuff that could have been, you know, been done, maybe um do a better job of attracting people to becoming a truck driver. Because yeah, the idea of driving a truck isn't what people think it is. Um, for one, most of your trucks on the road now are automatics, they're not the the uh they're not manual trucks anymore, so it's a lot easier to drive. Yeah, the truck does a lot of the work for you. Um the other thing, too, is that um even the way that they run logistics now, uh how complicated it is as far as um streamlining stuff, it's a lot more easier. I shouldn't say easier, it's a lot less complicated um to operate uh in those logistics, logistical systems. So there's a lot of positives to it. Um, it is a rough industry. Um the other thing, too, is you know, they've also kind of trimmed down the hours that you drive a day to make it a little bit more realistic. So you cannot legally drive 24 hours in a truck. Hence I said the word legally, because unfortunately, something, but you know, it's not a bad field. It really isn't a bad field if you love driving and you want to make um a good living. So I just think that it's one of those things that should be highlighted more.

SPEAKER_01 22:47

Yeah, especially if you kind of have that spirit where you don't want to be going to the same office, and it's kind of like a like a cowboy type of career where it's like you're on the open road and you're in different places and it's isolating, but it's probably also really freeing, and you get to see a lot of different beautiful parts of the country, I imagine, depending on where you go. But um, it's like it's kind of like a rock star type profession, I think. And so it'd be hard for me to to to think of it and like have a family and just kind of like do anything where you're just kind of gone so much and you know in different places, but I can totally see why someone would want to, especially if you're like a single person and you kind of don't have a lot of ties, like why not, you know?

SPEAKER_00 23:28

Yeah, I mean, if you're young and single, um, and let's say maybe you don't have any other skills that you can make money off of, this may not be a bad option for you.

SPEAKER_01 23:38

Yeah, absolutely. You would just listen to podcasts all day and drive around. I think it's cool. It's like a cool profession. I would I could barely when I had a Nissan verse, I could barely drive that. So I'm not allowed to drive anything larger than a Bronco, but Uh well, my last one for today is I thought this was so hilarious. Uh, one man accidentally gained access to thousands of robot vacuums. A software engineer, um, Sammy as Doofle was trying to connect his Romo DJI, Romo robot vacuum to a PlayStation controller when he discovered a major security flaw. Reports say that flaw gave him access to thousands of other vacuums, including live camera feeds, microphones, and the floor plan data from users' homes, which he then reported rather than exploited. So this actually got into the hands of someone good. I could just imagine how this would go if it got into the wrong hands. Um the story became a larger warning about privacy risks in smart home devices, and DJI later said it fixed the issues in an additional security updates.

SPEAKER_00 24:47

Wow.

New CDL Rule And Supply Chain

SPEAKER_01 24:48

Oh so remember, like I know for a while people can tap in sometimes to like game or remote controllers, or you know, there's different ways like um like Alexa and Siri, and you know, people were gaining control of those things and like saying things to people, and like hackers and software engineers are able to, I think, orchestrate these kind of things. But I just think that's so funny being in charge of like a thousand vacuums and just being able being able to like turn it on everywhere.

SPEAKER_00 25:19

Yeah, the scary part is this person um accessed it by accident, which means that someone sophisticated that wants to do some uh nefarious things can really do some damage with that. And it's you know, it kind of makes you kind of makes you wonder. I mean, I've never had one of the vacuums because I I I think it's I think it's a novelty thing. I don't think yeah, me too. I could be wrong, I could be a hundred percent wrong because I know people are gonna be like, I love my rumor, I love my you know, whatever. That's fine, but eh. And you know, hearing about this don't make it any better.

SPEAKER_01 25:57

Exactly, exactly. I I don't need a robot vacuum. It seems like when they get caught and like stuck in a wall, that seems more annoying than just running a vacuum.

SPEAKER_00 26:06

Oh yeah. So I I have to admit, I did want to get one just uh put at the top of the stairs. Okay, let's see how let's see how smart you really are.

SPEAKER_01 26:15

Yeah, yeah, totally.

SPEAKER_00 26:18

Let's see if it stops at the edge of the stairs and just tumbles all the way down. Yeah, I probably have too much time on my hands. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_01 26:29

Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 26:31

Well, my last topic of the day, and this is actually a surprising one for me, but vinyl record sales have surpassed one billion dollars last year. One billion with a beat. Wow. I personally did not think that many people were buying these records. I was totally surprised. Yeah, but uh that literally price tag reflects the vinyl boom's evolution as sales surpassed one billion dollars for the first time in decades, according to the Record Industry Association of America's 2025 year and report marking 19 consecutive years of growth. What do you think, Mirror? Are you surprised about this?

SPEAKER_01 27:21

Um, yes, but I want them to bring back the tape cassette. I I want to be back in the days where we're like re where our pen is stuck in the tape thing and everything is going. Like, I love this. I think vinyls are beautiful, and I'm happy that people are listening to music or whatever they're listening to in like the old way. Um and I just think I think vinyl's great and beautiful, and much better than listening like off of our phone. But um yeah, I I think there's nothing wrong with this. I'm I love music and I love consuming it in different ways, and I think there's probably nothing like putting on a pair of headphones and listening to a vinyl record that's just like one of the best things in the whole wide world.

SPEAKER_00 28:00

Yes, I don't do it enough. Now, I I did know that people do buy vinyl records. Um, I thought it was more a nostalgic type situation, or maybe for um big-time artists that you know want to do something special for their for their listeners. Yeah, I was really surprised to see that number. And you know, it's amazing how things that go out of style at some point come back, you know.

SPEAKER_01 28:27

I know, yeah, because I'm still like I wasn't, I was never really a vinyl person. I think it's so cool, I just don't really do it, but I was definitely a big like CD player, and you know, when like the actual CD disc man, and I I I love CDs, I feel like that was my era, and that's I always loved having like the big book of CDs and everything.

SPEAKER_00 28:48

So I love that the CDs died though, you know.

SPEAKER_01 28:53

I know I want I want to bring back CDs, but I I think um like vinyl album covers are so beautiful, and I think like even the newer artists like a Sabrina Carpenter or people, they put thought into what like their vinyl is going to look like. So I think I think some of the that part of part of this is in thanks to like the younger people who are making vinyl important and like part of the kind of what people purchase.

SPEAKER_00 29:19

That's true, that's true. What what song would you like to hear on vinyl?

SPEAKER_01 29:25

Oh my god. Well, my favorite I love like all disco music on vinyl, so I was just gonna say maybe like uh anything Donna Summer or Gloria Gainer, because I feel like that's the kind of stuff that my parents raised me on. Disco, peaches and herb.

SPEAKER_00 29:41

Nice. I think for me, I would love to have a stepper song on there. Um, you know, like um Haunted House. Um, another good one would be uh Step of the Name of Love. Um, there's a bunch of different songs that I like to dance off of. And for some people that are listening, uh no, when I say steppers, this isn't what they do in the colleges, it's actually a dance form.

SPEAKER_01 30:08

Yeah, yeah. And and like producers make so much uh they intentionally make it so that if you are listening to a vinyl and you have headphones on, you know, you'll have it in like stereo one or two, or like there's so many things that are put in for the listener experience that I feel like we often don't get just listening to it from our phones or from our car.

SPEAKER_00 30:27

Oh, yeah, and I think that if an artist has a very loyal uh fan base that will pay to buy vinyl, that's a great way of putting money directly into the artist's pocket, too.

SPEAKER_01 30:39

Yeah, absolutely. And yeah, I love vinyl covers. I just think the the photography and the choices that people make are such like art forms in themselves. So I just love to go to the like a record store and kind of look at the different covers.

SPEAKER_00 30:53

Absolutely. Wow, this time has really flown by.

SPEAKER_01 30:57

I know.

SPEAKER_00 31:00

Where Mel, what do you have coming up?

Why Trucking Still Makes Sense

SPEAKER_01 31:03

Okay, I'm so excited to announce this one. Um, there's one, it's at Flappers in Burbank, and it's April 2nd. And one of my really good friends, Don Brody, who's here, has a popular podcast called HILF, and it's history, I'd like to F-U-C-K. And so she's um she's she's from she's a historian. She uh she's currently getting her master's in history. She's been on the history channel, she's like a true, legit like historian and a comedian. And so her podcast is all about like funny history and like you know, hot people in history, but it goes a lot deeper than that. Um, and so I'm on her, she does live shows of the Hilf podcast, and it's called like Hilf Public School, where we go and learn about a different subject. Um, I was on an episode talking about the president James K. Polk and like whether we like him or not. Um, so I'm on her live show April 2nd. So I'll do like a five-minute set about history. So I think it'll be really fun.

SPEAKER_00 32:02

Sounds like a lot of fun.

SPEAKER_01 32:05

Yeah, and if anyone loves history that's listening, her podcast Hilf, H I L F is very interesting, and Dawn is like a wealth of information, and she's just a cool chick and she's my friend. So um, yeah, that's April 2nd.

SPEAKER_00 32:20

Very nice. And if you don't have anything to do, make sure you check her out. She would love for you to come.

SPEAKER_01 32:27

So much, yeah. And Dawn's wild. She's like, if you want someone to drink a whiskey with and talk about all the presidents, that's your girl.
