SPEAKER_01Presented by Pete Tonight Altuna.
SPEAKER_00JoJo on the go. Hi friends.
SPEAKER_05It's having fun. Let me drop it.
SPEAKER_06So much fun.
SPEAKER_05I don't think we'll have this much fun during the podcast. No, never.
SPEAKER_06It's always it's always the pre-game, and then we kind of just like then you get the hangover. This is what happens when you're day drinking.
SPEAKER_05That's right. We are not, by the way. Well, speak for yourself. It's currently 5 a.m. our recording.
SPEAKER_06Well, again, I'm looking forward to it. So this weekend I am going to Vegas uh for my birthday.
SPEAKER_05Vegas, baby.
SPEAKER_06And uh my drink in the mornings at least. I have I have a casino morning drink, and it's always a coffee with Bailey's. So I'm looking forward to that, bad boy.
SPEAKER_05Wait, really? Yes. Now your employer knows you have a drinking problem. I'm this will be a good podcast.
SPEAKER_06I'm on vacation, baby, since it.
SPEAKER_05Oh, I thought you meant every morning.
SPEAKER_06Didn't listen to the the kickoff there.
SPEAKER_05No, I didn't wake up and say you said Bailey's. Now I'm like, Yeah.
SPEAKER_06Love it. No, there this is just black.
SPEAKER_05My day drink of choice is a bloody Mary. I love those in the morning. Yeah, while staring in the mirror and saying it three times. Just hoping to do it. You know what?
SPEAKER_06I could never get into them. I tried and it felt like I was forcing it down.
SPEAKER_05I'd be like, What are we talking about? Bloody Marys.
SPEAKER_06You're right. Open to interpretation, of course.
SPEAKER_05With you, I didn't think.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, what are you guzzling? No, no, no. I I prefer my uh my brunch drink is like a mimosa. Uh hold the orange juice.
SPEAKER_05Well, yeah, you're rich. Just a shot of vodka, please.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_05I'm lucky if my water is still on at lunchtime. That's my drink. Oh, wait. No, mimosa's champagne.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. Oh, yeah. You're thinking screwdriver.
SPEAKER_05Okay. Hey, yes. We're having so much fun already, Jagger. Uh-huh. I was wondering if you could just call Wrinkles the Clown again.
SPEAKER_06No, no. Honestly, you're don't ruin my weekend. You're already uh Monday through Wednesday.
SPEAKER_05I'm telling you, he's gonna answer one of these times.
SPEAKER_06I had actual nightmares, and we do this so early. You're gonna get a summon.
SPEAKER_05Well, just in time for the weekend here. If you're why after you're watching it new and fresh on Friday, you have the whole weekend to watch. Wrinkles the clown on Netflix, or you can even call and we have his number. Let's listen in.
SPEAKER_02I'm not here to take you a call. Leave me a message. This shit again.
SPEAKER_03Hey Wrinkles, I went straight to voicemail this time. That means you're awake and you push the button. You sent me the voicemail. I've called. This is my third call, and I do have somebody I need you to scare the shit out of. Give me a call back, or maybe we're gonna flip the script and I'm gonna show up under your bed. Call me. Say I'll put a wrinkle in your time.
SPEAKER_06You know what's so funny? It's so funny how uh last time you were saying I need you to take someone out for me, and now you're like, just scare her because I think you're you definitely convinced him to kill me.
SPEAKER_03I watched the special and I realized yeah, he doesn't kill people, he just scares them. Okay.
SPEAKER_05Well, you kind of feel bad like halfway through when the 800th five-year-old tells him to go f himself. Yes. Like they play a montage of voicemails that he's gotten. Hi, this is Timmy, and I want you to jump.
SPEAKER_03I'm just hoping I make it into the next reel on the next special.
SPEAKER_06I mean, he has to record some of these recordings, right?
SPEAKER_05And you like how they interview him, but they don't quite show his face, but they kind of do anyway. And he's like, Yeah, and he's sitting in a van down by the river and his little kitchenette inside the back of the van.
SPEAKER_03Well, it's not even him, right? He hired somebody to play him, right?
SPEAKER_05Is that well, I thought there was what happened was there was one mean wrinkles minding his business, and some other guy started making these YouTube videos unrelated, saying, watch out for wrinkles, and the two they came together. You know what that's like, right, Jana?
SPEAKER_06Of course. You guys know a lot more about him than I do, that's for sure.
SPEAKER_05I might have fallen asleep during the episode. I don't know.
SPEAKER_06Okay.
SPEAKER_05It's also true I did watch it twice after falling asleep. I wasn't even quite sure what the point of the documentary is, and I watched it twice. Just I'm like, wait a minute, which one's the bad clown? What's this guy in a van? Why is he in a hotel now? I have a lot of questions. Why is Janna drunk at 5 a.m. on Bailey's?
SPEAKER_06I will be in about 12 hours.
SPEAKER_05Is this the Vegas trip where you go and see the Wizard of Oz and stuff? Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_06And so um I was just telling Jagger. Funny thing about traveling with my parents.
SPEAKER_03Don't ever talk to him without me in the room. Okay. Well, show up on time for show press. Right. It was late.
SPEAKER_06Uh so funny thing about traveling with my parents, this happened when all three of us were still kids. This happened when I was married and we would book a flight with my parents. My parents, who's calling me this very second, as per usual, she always 713 on the dot. Jesus. Um so she uh they always get upgraded to first class. Always, you know, they got those big delta sky miles, whatever.
SPEAKER_05Um big delta energy sky miles and big deltas.
SPEAKER_06That big D sky. Um so so essentially about those people would get left in the back. Like always get left in coach. I don't think they call it coach anymore. I can't even I think Economy. Economy, thank you. Yeah, um, and so sometimes next level, my dad will get upgraded, not my mom, and he'll leave her in economy while she goes to first class. So my mom came up to me like a week ago, and she's like, Hey, um, you know, I I know we've got two flights, obviously, there and back. She goes, If you want to have one of my first classes, you can. And I was like, Oh, thanks for the pity. Yeah, I'll take it.
SPEAKER_05You can talk to your dad for the first time.
SPEAKER_03Your dad's a P I M P. Look, yeah, man. I wish I could keep up with him. I'm always just giving my girlfriend the carrying.
SPEAKER_05I told you it was your mic. I told Jagger his microphone was broken when this thing started. Now we're gonna have to get it.
SPEAKER_06You know, the other day his camera was actually working really good, no internet issues. We were really happy with now he looks like a hostage again. Little bit. It it's touch and go.
SPEAKER_05It's here I am with my uh expensive memory sticks. Jagger forced me to buy last week or said he wouldn't be on the show anymore if I couldn't get my computer to work right. Crashing every five seconds.
SPEAKER_06You were you were crashing.
SPEAKER_05No, it was bad. No, you're right. I'm actually, I can't believe it's working so well now. But there's Jagger to mess it up for all of us.
SPEAKER_06Now he looks fine for the least the next 10 seconds.
SPEAKER_05I mean, as in like the baseline normal resolution.
SPEAKER_06Yes. Relax.
SPEAKER_05Did I tell you guys earlier here?
SPEAKER_06Yeah, right. That that's the excuse. Did I tell you guys I bought a coffee percolator?
SPEAKER_05Just buying things left and right.
SPEAKER_06Is that is that old school?
SPEAKER_05Yeah, coffee percolator.
SPEAKER_06Okay, so here's I knew you'd get a kick out of it.
SPEAKER_05What's next?
SPEAKER_06A neti pot? I only know one other person that has one. Um, but the reason why is call me crunchy all you want. I'm trying to be like anti-plastic and like more non-toxic. So when you think about it, even when you're using a glass carafe of a coffee maker, it's going through hot plastic in order to get to the glass pot. So I'm like, hmm, how do I rectify this? Well, you either get a pour over coffee, which takes forever, and I don't think it even tastes that good. Or I said, Ugh, no thanks. Or I said, let me try a percolator. So now I'm 82 years old using a percolator to make my morning coffee.
SPEAKER_03I think microplastics are the least of your worries.
SPEAKER_06You've had enough. Oh, that says so much. So much.
SPEAKER_05Enjoy yourself. Seriously. One of the things the news talks about, aside from we're all gonna die soon, is that like our blood is 10% plastic or something. That's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_06So if I can make it at least if I can make it at least 5%, that's a win.
SPEAKER_05I grew up next to an asbestos factory. None of this matters to me. I've loved it. Yeah, but 18 times.
SPEAKER_06Have you looked at yourself?
SPEAKER_05No. I'm actually I have a blackout tape over here. And how do you feel on the day-to-day? Oh, I feel like shit.
SPEAKER_06So it's not good. You're just a goner.
SPEAKER_05I I think I died like 15 years ago, actually. I just nobody told me because I don't have any friends.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, we're just speaking with your rotting corpse.
SPEAKER_05Weekend at Jojo's. Yeah. So I did tell Janice something I don't think that she knew because you're going to Vegas, you're going to sphere, you're going to see Wizard of Oz. The tree actually throws apples at your face.
SPEAKER_06I can't believe that. And honestly, I'm here for it. Because that is such a great. First of all, you know why it's such a great scene? Because it's hilarious. And it's so. But also, do those not look like the most perfect apples you could ever want to get? And you're like then disappointed because you eat a real apple.
SPEAKER_05You're like, sucks.
SPEAKER_06This just a candy apple. It literally does look like a candy apple.
SPEAKER_05That tray was actually Wrinkles the Clown's first roll in the acting.
SPEAKER_06I knew he looked familiar. I love when she goes over and uh and he slaps her hand, Dorothy. I love that. I was meant to play that role.
SPEAKER_05That could have been me.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, it should have been or munchkin.
SPEAKER_05Either one. There's still time. But so yeah, there's only a select number that drop on your head or get thrown at you from the tree. And I think you might be able to buy them in the Sphere's gift shop, but it's not as magical if the tree is.
SPEAKER_06Oh no, that what a waste that would be. I'll just go to the grocery store after that.
SPEAKER_04Buy a gale of apple water.
SPEAKER_06I actually have a very hot take too in regards to apples. Um tis not the season, of course, but I don't enjoy apple picking at all. I think it is so boring to pick the apples. I also don't think the apples in an orchard are ever as good as the ones that you can get in the store. So I'll take the ones covered in wax uh that are probably filled with pesticides as well. Right. The only time I go apple picking is for a donut.
SPEAKER_05You don't want the plastics, but you'll take the pesticides. Jagger, we don't have any orchard sponsors lined up, do we? Just check them up. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06But like, you know, every fall, right? The basic bees, all they want to do is go do their apple picking, take a selfie holding their pumpkin spice latte. And I'm like, I'm like, this is not for me. I did it one time. I took my kid when she was first born because my sister wanted to, because my sister's basic. And uh I was like, no, this is not for me. I'd I'd literally rather go apple picking at the grocery store.
SPEAKER_05Anything picking. I was at the blueberry farm across from P. Diddy's prison in South Jersey. It's a hot day, and I'm picking these blueberries, and I'm thinking to myself, why that why am I doing this?
SPEAKER_06Do they taste any better?
SPEAKER_05No, I don't taste it.
SPEAKER_06Because the apples I didn't not think did. And I know strawberries people say can, but like I grow strawberries in my garden, so I'll just go back to the room.
SPEAKER_05So don't want I got a strawberry patch. So you know Jagger, when you end up moving here out of this place, you got free berries. Oh, needs nuts.
SPEAKER_03I love berries and nuts. But I I feel the same way about fishing and hunting. Like I know that's an unpopular opinion, but like that's a lot of work. Because I can't even hear Jagger, it doesn't matter what he's saying.
SPEAKER_05Um it is a lot of work. I'm just kidding, Jagger. If you get the apple and there's like a three-year-old next to you.
SPEAKER_06Oh, this is such a good question. I know do you know why I never had to think about this? Because I don't go to baseball games.
SPEAKER_05That's right. There's no share hour, nor would you catch it.
SPEAKER_06So this this is correct. This is my MLB moment. Okay, he's not frozen. I thought he was actually stuck. What are you gu what are you guzzling? Your protein shake?
SPEAKER_05Bailey's and baileys. Bleach.
SPEAKER_06All right, he'll croak soon. Just wait and then we can proceed. Um, no, but seriously, genuine question. Uh if I caught the apple, I would give it to them, but I would definitely have hostility on the end of the day.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. Then I knock it out of their hand when the thing was over and take it.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. I I would be, I would actually like, I would want the moment of like, yes. And then I'd be like, all right, here, what am I gonna do with this? This is gonna collect dust. Even though I do have a kid at home that would love it.
SPEAKER_05You think she's gonna catch one Jagger? What do we what do we do?
SPEAKER_03I'm wondering, like, I like would you attempt to? Like, are you that type of sports fan? Would you take a glove to a game? Would you try to catch a home run or a fly ball? You never see it or a baseball game.
SPEAKER_06No, no, I have I actually last summer I went to the um the Subway series and it was hot. Oh my god, it was so hot that day. But no, my my nephew does. He goes to spring training and the whole thing. Like, he's a big baseball fan. I would never I would never bring a glove. Also, like for me, it's like if I did catch the apple and there happened to be a child next to me, uh, first of all, impressive that a child is going to the sphere because I can't imagine that it's not somewhat scary for them.
SPEAKER_04Um doesn't want to be surrounded by poor kids. Right.
SPEAKER_06Uh but I feel at the end of the day, I probably would just buy my kid something in the gift shop. Like that's my plan to get her something. I didn't tell her that I'm going there because I know she'll be upset that she's not.
SPEAKER_05So while your kid sits in Long Island, you've been to Disney, you're going to see the visit of Oswald.
SPEAKER_06I'm going to Disney. Oh, well, I was in Orlando. But I'm going to Disney.
SPEAKER_03That was a work trip though, so she couldn't have brought the child.
SPEAKER_04Exactly. Exactly.
SPEAKER_05Allegedly.
SPEAKER_04Allegedly.
SPEAKER_05Oh man. Speaking of work, I am loving these Teams meetings just every day for the entire eight hours. Yep. And and and then, like, when I thought I couldn't get better, I'm told, hey, we're all going to go into breakout rooms, and you don't know who your partner is going to be. And that's that's fun. And yesterday was uh let's all go around and find out how old everyone is. No, that's legal. And they're all like, 38, I'm the worst. Oh, I'm 41. I'm practically dead.
SPEAKER_06You did not have to tell them how old you are.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, and they're like, How old are you? And I was like, 52. And they're and they're like, oh.
SPEAKER_06And they're like their first thought was like, so what happened in his life that he's starting his job now?
SPEAKER_05What seat were you at when Lincoln got shot?
SPEAKER_06Wow, I really didn't realize that you could ask people their age at work.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, I got it's fine because it's just always professional, and then all of a sudden it just got laid back and chill for a random three minutes.
SPEAKER_03You can once they're hired. You can't during the hiring process because then it's discrimination. But yeah, you can talk about age.
SPEAKER_06No, but you know what it is? It's kind of like um how we were talking about plain etiquette. It's kind of like work etiquette, right? Like you generally just don't ask people their age. I know for me, I just assume everyone's my age. And so then when they tell me they're 52, I'm like, oh, I'm sure just the narcissism talking.
SPEAKER_03You assume everybody's you.
SPEAKER_02I hear it's contagious.
SPEAKER_05So Yeah, I remember um a co-worker had said their age because it was their birthday and it was a big milestone. I said, Oh, you look good for your age. And then I ran that over my head for about eight hours afterwards from the way home to while I was home.
SPEAKER_06It's just safer to not say anything.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, I was like, Why did you say you look good for your age? It's automatically saying they're old. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06That's like saying, Oh, look at these new shoes I got. Yeah, you don't look pregnant at all. Like, there's no relevance in that.
SPEAKER_05Brain was like, You better watch it. You're gonna get fired from this shithole.
SPEAKER_03So just wait till your coworkers start wanting to do like a virtual happy hour, like after work. Hey, let's get together and chat.
SPEAKER_06Well, that's that has become a taboo thing now, too, because you know, DEI has been a major um push since you know, around COVID. And so now people say like, hey, you shouldn't use the term happy hour because people don't drink damn term. But yes, I used to do many uh virtual happy hours when uh when it was the pandemic.
SPEAKER_04You'd be happier if you weren't with your co-workers virtually, probably. Right. For an hour. Right, it's like the whole point of happy hour.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, let me get super, super buzzed, and then all of a sudden I'm just alone and not with them anymore. It's kind of weird.
SPEAKER_05Then tomorrow I get written up or something I didn't even do in their actual presence.
SPEAKER_02Wild.
SPEAKER_05So both of you work remotely, like me now. Have you ever been written up? No, not yet. Did you already what is there to be? I'm just wondering like what you can do remotely to get to be written up.
SPEAKER_06Um Well, I mean, perform at least for me as a leader, like I would write people up for performance.
SPEAKER_05Um beh- So you tell the lollipop guild they're not really holding up their end of the bargain.
SPEAKER_06Right. But like, you know, uh if you're a good leader, you give them plenty of preparation because they should never be surprised.
SPEAKER_05So you could have hired me remotely and you didn't as a leader as well.
SPEAKER_06No, I'm not I don't hire. I know.
SPEAKER_05Oh, not not a hiring leader.
SPEAKER_06No, not a hiring leader, and no, I just fire people supervisor.
SPEAKER_05No, it takes it's Oh, I'm not qualified for the job I have.
SPEAKER_06I know.
SPEAKER_05That's no issue right there.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, you slip through the cracks on that one.
SPEAKER_05I really did slip through the cracks. I'm getting all this literature from the Red Cross in the mail.
SPEAKER_03I'm like, You're a big fake it till you make it guy.
SPEAKER_05I've always been a fan of fake it till you make it. Yep. Look at us. Look how far we've come. Yes. Speaking of which, I did want to say a sincere thank you to our subscribers who are actually listening and or watching right now. Um, and those of you, especially who've been doing that since uh the end of December, thank you very much.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, we are coming upon our fifth month soon. That's insane.
SPEAKER_05Like in four more, we can have a baby.
SPEAKER_06I was just gonna say that. There's a baby that I never had.
SPEAKER_05And uh, we'll give some love to our sponsors right now. First of all, Parlor Donuts. We're looking for our next Doggooder at JoJoworldwide.com. Make sure you get up there and uh look for the Dog Gooder tab. Excuse me one second, and then click it. Very smooth and tell us about someone that you might work with or someone in your neighborhood that you know, could be a store employee, could be a nurse, could be a firefighter, someone from Pendot, a librarian, you name it, someone who makes the uh community a better place. Just tell us about them. And by nominating them, you could win them a dozen parlor donuts and a parlor donuts gift card for you. And Jagger, how about our friends over at Pizza Night?
SPEAKER_03Oh my god.
SPEAKER_05Have you made it a pizza night lately?
SPEAKER_03I enjoy pizza nights so much. Not like personally, because I've never had it, but I enjoy the great prices. I enjoy their great atmosphere. I enjoyed seeing an ad with a low price. The customers, I I love their graphics online, but yeah, you definitely got to make it a pizza night. They've got all sorts of specials you can find online. Um, they've got a large one-topping for $7.99. How can you beat that? Shut your mouth. I will. It might be $8.99. I check the website. I don't know. Now you're a liar.
SPEAKER_06$8.99, $7.99 for lunch special.
SPEAKER_05Yes, thank you. They have two different kinds of sauce. Traditional homemade pizza night on Beale Avenue in Altuna. Do you have their phone number in front of you?
SPEAKER_06I bet I can memorize it. 814-943-7000.
SPEAKER_05God, I hope that's real because I'm not going to redo this. Pornographic memory. Can anyone confirm that was the right number? Well, I'll tell you about Tri Luna Royal Cleaners. They need employees. So if you're looking for a job, they will put you to work almost immediately. Just call Triluna Royal Cleaners. Also, if you need your house or business clean, they can do that too, obviously. At 814-895-3038. So thank you, Pizza Night. Thank you, Tri Luna Royal Cleaners. Thank you to my dog barking upstairs. And thank you to Parlour Donuts.
SPEAKER_06You know, it's frustrating. I feel like sometimes there's noise suppression when you're on a laptop. And then other times there's absolutely not. Like there's times my coworkers will be on a meeting and they'll say, Oh, sorry if you hear the landscapers outside. I'm like, I don't hear a thing.
SPEAKER_05But then you're like, Don't you have a mute?
SPEAKER_06But right now I'm hearing that pup loud and clear.
SPEAKER_05You hear it?
SPEAKER_06He's got his own mic.
SPEAKER_05It's amazing. Eight hours a day while I'm working for the Red Cross. He doesn't do peep. He respects that platform. Of course. He knows this is a blessing. I'm phones. He's actually out in my yard.
SPEAKER_06That's the one making the money. Yeah, here we are just sitting here like bullshitting as you're getting.
SPEAKER_05Janna, thank you for providing me with your banking information. It's nice to work with someone who actually listens to you.
SPEAKER_06All right.
SPEAKER_05You did that already?
SPEAKER_06Well, I just I did ask last night. I just sent the email.
SPEAKER_03Oh, during the show.
SPEAKER_06While we're doing the podcast, you sent that? No, I did it before.
SPEAKER_03Oh, okay. You suck up.
SPEAKER_06It was a part of the prep. No, it's really cool. It's I want to get paid, is what it is.
SPEAKER_05You know, because I'm sketchy, I use chime. And yeah, there's my door now.
SPEAKER_06Wow, you tell Chime? Is that is that a good sign for us? Is this magical?
SPEAKER_05But I I reactivated my Chime Plus benefits by direct depositing to myself because I'm a company now. So I got this like congratulations email that uh I employ myself and I get my you know, they'll loan you a hundred bucks if you're poor and stuff. So that's what my chime is.
SPEAKER_06Okay, I'll sign up for that.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's called Spot Me. They keep the terms real down to earth too. Not like your uppity Wells Fargo Jagger. No, I know. Dear horse and carriage.
SPEAKER_03Makes me feel special.
SPEAKER_05Hey, what is this about you partying and uh the panhandle? I know you live in around the Destin area with the uppity folks like Britney Spears' sister.
SPEAKER_03Um what are you doing on May 8th? Well, of course, in the panhandle, I live in the non uppity part. I'm between Destiny. In Pensacola. So, like I'm in the down home, countryfied, beach town, Navarre, Florida. Trailer cul-de-sac part. That's right. And I love it. I love it. I lived in a trailer my whole my whole childhood. And May 8th, we're going to be partying in Pensacola at Genie's Coffee Shop. We got Jagger's private panhandle party. It's invitation only because that is how we do it. Okay.
SPEAKER_05So if you're listening to the podcast, are you invited?
SPEAKER_03No. So listen.
SPEAKER_06We weren't even invited. Come on now.
SPEAKER_05We were invited to Tiki Boat. Wait, how do you get into this thing? Our subscribers can't go. So you weren't driving.
SPEAKER_03So yes, subscribers are invited. If you want to come down to Pensacola and op into King's Coffee Shop, you can do so on May 8th.
SPEAKER_05I'm the only one that's practicing. I hope he sees this later and is ashamed of himself.
SPEAKER_06You know what's funny? Because he he yelled at us. He yelled at us saying, You need to listen to the show afterward. Why would I listen to that shit? What am I listening to?
SPEAKER_05Let's listen to Jagger's version of our show.
SPEAKER_02Oh god.
SPEAKER_06Come at me, bro. Oh, my neck still hurts. Why are we trying to disconnect and rejoin us? It's like, is he sad? I know. I will say, I have to give you credit where credit's due. As soon as you have a technical malfunction, 17 of you just pop up on the screen. You make it work. You're like, I'm gonna I'm gonna pivot.
SPEAKER_05You turn into Wendy, I turn into E.T. At least we do a little shtick. He's just frozen. Yeah. Leonardo DiCaprio two days after the Titanic.
SPEAKER_06Oh, come on now. Don't offend me like that. Sorry. I have a deep love for Leo, and I'm now I'm never gonna look at him the same.
SPEAKER_05Is your main reason for going there? Is your main reason for going to Vegas uh the sphere or just general fun?
SPEAKER_06I mean, no, that is the main reason. Obviously, the general fun comes with it. But my parents really set this for me as a like, hey, please don't kill yourself when you were first getting separated. Uh, we're gonna do something great for you and for your birthday, take you out there. So my birthday's not for exactly a month. Um but they're like, yeah, good call. Um, but they're like, let's let's take you out. So I'm really appreciative of it. I'm really excited to see. They they really were concerned about me for a while.
SPEAKER_05I I actually, as a friend, if I'm gonna be honest, I I've been too. But that's just on me.
SPEAKER_06I mean, listen, no, no, it's ebbs and flows. Uh that's that's a part of the grief cycle.
SPEAKER_05Is uh the other day I was like yelling at Jagger, and you thought that I was coming down on you.
SPEAKER_06No, I was more so mad at him. I feel like he was coming down. Oh, good. Yeah, don't worry about it.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, see, I was the voice of reason this past week. I'm very proud of myself.
SPEAKER_06For once.
SPEAKER_05Yes. Well, the last time I flipped out, it was so bad I said I'd never do it again. So I just can't have any emotion now.
SPEAKER_06No, that's honestly safer for all of us. Much safer. I was saying to Jagger though, you know, and this is something I feel like you're gonna learn now that you're working in a setting, is that like people say some crazy things at work. They really do. Um in fact, there was a time I don't remember if it was before or after I went remote. And I meant to say, like, um I think I was having a a a coaching conversation with someone, so I was trying to like build a relationship, you know? And that's when you're very transparent, and you know, I was like, Yeah, yeah, yeah, blah blah blah blah blah blah. It just was eating me up inside. And guess what I said instead?
SPEAKER_05Out.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, I sure did. And I I don't know if I was able to pick it up early enough that I pivoted, but I felt it, and I felt myself go red on the inside. I was dying. And then I I heard someone once say, Um I think I think the word is bequeather, like bequeathed B-E-K.
SPEAKER_05Beque I didn't say it.
SPEAKER_06I heard someone say it. My head whipped so fast around, and I'm like, first, I don't know if I was more shocked by hearing that or the fact that someone was saying bequeathed in a corporate setting in 2025. Like, I was like, what?
SPEAKER_05Yo, if you don't know the big words, don't use them. I think that's a great example right there.
SPEAKER_06It truly is. Like, just be yourself. Even Jagger was saying, I mean, he's probably gonna want to tell you, but Well, he'll never be back. Nowadays, nowadays I got all these Instagram ads or YouTube ads when I'm watching a video and it says, never, never say to someone, How are you? at work. And it the whole concept is about um communication and how we should be communicating real and better and demand respect respect and be leaders. Well, the thing is, like, a lot of that is small talk. I don't do well with small talk. Like, I don't want to talk about the weather. For me, it's like, hey, if somebody asks me, Hey, how are you? I'll just be like, you know, I'm barely hanging in there. And I feel that that makes it so uncomfortable, but it it also can open up a real conversation. It's like, well, I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not I'm not just gonna be here for formalities. I can't I can't not be myself anywhere, you know.
SPEAKER_05Workplace small talk is is is is just that. It's it's worthless. Like if they say, How are you? They don't really want to know because it's just gonna stop the whole work day with our problems. Right.
SPEAKER_06You know, and I I think there's different ways to pivot it that could probably open more conversation. Like, hey, how's it going? Something like that. That's a little bit more informal. That's probably not recommended to say too, but like, hey, oh my god, I haven't seen you in a while. Just jump into a conversation. Like, how are X, Y, and Z, you know, like anything. Um, I don't know. I just I don't really believe in talk.
SPEAKER_05Good morning to me, my last job.
SPEAKER_06Well, you don't want anyone to say good morning to you.
SPEAKER_05No, but especially when it's like 3 a.m. and a normal person would be in bed asleep, and these people like they're like birds on a telephone pole at 3 a.m. Good morning!
SPEAKER_06It's like bro. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05No, it's not.
SPEAKER_06Or they say it as like a question, good morning.
SPEAKER_05No. Or or and then I've been like, all right, here comes somebody I hardly know. I'll say, good morning, and they'll give me a what's so good about it. I'm like, okay, that's it. We're done.
SPEAKER_06Well again, again, the small talk. But you know, and this is why people always laugh at me that I can have a conversation with anyone. I feel like I've told you a million times, I'll go to the gas station, next thing I know, I have like this guy's blood type or whatever.
SPEAKER_02You know, and on you.
SPEAKER_06And I took a little vial, put it in my back pocket. But like the truth of the matter is is that like when you don't have these just basic conversations where it's like keep your head down, mind your own business. People do tend to radiate towards that and they open up.
SPEAKER_05I mean, and also just like a wall they can talk to.
SPEAKER_06Right, exactly.
SPEAKER_05Sounding board.
SPEAKER_06I got no yes. The wall just goes right through them.
SPEAKER_05It's like talking to a wall.
SPEAKER_06That's what people want to hear.
SPEAKER_05That's what they want. Yeah. They really do, though. They just like you and I, I mean, me, I know, I talk to myself. I'm I'm home alone all day most of the time. So who else am I gonna talk to? I talk to the dog, but he doesn't give a shit what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_06Right. I mean, and let's be honest, I think uh, especially coming out of such a traumatic situation for me, um, sometimes there's people who are surrounded by other people and are still extremely lonely. So I think everyone needs someone to talk to, and you never know what someone's going through. So why not just stick to your values, be yourself, and then if you can help someone else out or change their day, then that that's a win for everybody. Also, at the end of the day, you can make great like surface level relationships. Like j I used to think of relationships as a spectrum, right? Like, I lost my husband, I lost my friend.
SPEAKER_05He didn't die, to be clear.
SPEAKER_06Well, I mean, it probably would have been easier, it would have been easier for me, right? Like, come on now. But like you lose these really deep relationships, and all of a sudden you're like, I have nothing, I have no one. But at the end of the day, you can build really solid relationships where you can have great conversation or feel like yourself. It might not be the people that you're going out to dinner with or grabbing coffee with. Like, I miss that. I miss having friends to like go just like do casual things with, but at the end of the day, I still have like very deep relations with people. Maybe I just don't see them, but you know?
SPEAKER_05Be your own friend first and foremost, right, Jenna? That's rule number one. And if you're me, be friends with a purple mouse.
SPEAKER_06Oh, what are you doing with that? Does it vibrate?
SPEAKER_05We bonded.
SPEAKER_06Don't you worry about that.
SPEAKER_05You know what's even more disturbing than one purple mouse? Two. Two purple mouse.
SPEAKER_06I actually I like the difference in color. I'll take the one on the left. That one's cuter.
SPEAKER_05This one?
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_05I'll pretend the Wizard of Oz tree. Okay. This is a left-handed mouse.
SPEAKER_06Oh, that see that that would have to be for me, yeah.
SPEAKER_05This really looks dirty now that I'm holding it up. Is it new? Uh it just arrived from a place called Adam.
SPEAKER_06Are you sure they're for computers? Is there an on-off switch somewhere in there? You said it's for your wife.
SPEAKER_05God, if the people in my uh teams could see the mouse that I'm using as I talk to them about how old I am.
SPEAKER_06Man, it took me a while to actually convert to the automatic mouse. I always wanted the plug-in.
unknownI always wanted the plug-out.
SPEAKER_05There he is. There he is. Look at him, big delay, ruin everything. Go back to sleep. Why don't you sit this one out, Clea?
SPEAKER_06I need one of those for my plane. I need one of those eye masks. Oh no, that's just your face.
SPEAKER_05It's funny because in there, I hate to keep bringing it up, but it's all I do all day is teams. Um, you know, everyone's dressed appropriately and they've done their hair, and there's me and my hat every day. Uh now, like everyone else is starting to be like, how come he doesn't have to dress? So now people are starting to wear like scarves on their head and hats and they weren't figuring that out. Yeah, they're just like, I'm like, this is my house. I can look like a slob in my house. Right.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, where are they uh working from, please? Their house.
SPEAKER_05And and it they're out their houses. Do you guys use fake backgrounds on those meetings, or do you just let it all hang out?
SPEAKER_06So funny that you say that because I used to never um do a fake background. In fact, like I primarily work from my kitchen, and my boss will always laugh at like Janna's in a new location because I just bop from place to place. Like I I like the nomad life, and it also opens up a conversation. So recently I put on not the blur one, but an actual background because it was called sense of belonging, and there was ebbs and flows, and I'm like, oh my god, just like the ebbs and flows of life. Like I thought, great conversation starter, um, like really applicable in my life. But then the weird thing is with those kind of backgrounds, it's like you move an inch, your entire face disappears.
SPEAKER_05And I'm like, This is so weird. It goes right up to the freaking. I notice like if I go to look at my phone or something, my face goes right into the like it zooms right in on me, not listening to anybody. Yeah, it well uh you've got that tracking on. Yeah, how do I turn that off?
SPEAKER_06Also, no, sometimes someone can spotlight you, so it could be that too. Is that what they're doing?
SPEAKER_05Maybe uh there's there's there's spies in there too. They're laughing and pointing at you. Yeah, yeah, there's other supervisors that never actually talk or go on camera. They're just kind of there.
SPEAKER_06It's like what are the people called that are on a plane um that are uh air marshals. Air marshals. It's like the air marshal of the teams on a plane. You know what a recurring segment means needs to be me doing the impressions.
SPEAKER_03I feel like okay, I actually really do need you to think I've been waiting for the next segment.
SPEAKER_06Well, I was actually waiting up to her to come up with it. No, I was waiting till I go to Vegas, honestly, because I feel like there could be some good ones in good spots. And I wanted I wanted to get ideas from you guys as to what I should do down there.
SPEAKER_05Well, Jagger's thrown his equipment all.
SPEAKER_03Now you want me to produce your vacation?
SPEAKER_06For the show. Suddenly the show.
SPEAKER_03What am I supposed to do when I go to Vegas? How do I have fun there?
SPEAKER_05Drink and gamble.
SPEAKER_03Go to the red light district. That's what I do. Women of questionable reputation. Yeah, red light. Don't they still have that?
SPEAKER_06That's a thing.
SPEAKER_03TLC? Get out of here.
SPEAKER_06That's a thing in Vegas.
SPEAKER_05Red light.
SPEAKER_06I've been there three times. I've never I never heard no red light.
SPEAKER_05I've been there three times. I'm thinking of Amsterdam.
SPEAKER_06Do you know what I've always wanted? Yeah. I'm like, we're we're not talking about the right place. Do you know what's deep down on my bucket list?
SPEAKER_05You circus circus.
SPEAKER_06Um going to a specific sort of uh massage parlor.
SPEAKER_05Yes. Oh. Cross that off at 18. How? I mean, nothing.
SPEAKER_06How do you find these? Okay, Les.
SPEAKER_05It was next to Blockbuster. Things were very quick.
SPEAKER_06I don't understand though. Two years ago, I had a massage membership at a place and um Well, that's your first cliff.
SPEAKER_03If they offer memberships, it's not a rubber.
SPEAKER_06It's not the right place. But I found out that they were getting shut down because someone touched a client and there was underwear left in the room. And so they ended up putting an alert button under the tables. They let us all know. And I said, Why wasn't I the client that was there when this happened?
SPEAKER_05Channel's jealous.
SPEAKER_06I'm so no, I'm really upset. I'll go to get a massage at like a random place now, and I get disappointed or offended when it's not.
SPEAKER_05Don't walk in with your hopes up.
SPEAKER_06That's what's happening to me. So if anyone ha knows a place who knows a place, you let me know.
SPEAKER_03So I do know a place, but it's not near you. It's in Jacksonville, North Carolina.
SPEAKER_06Okay, well, that's still one more than I know.
SPEAKER_03I stumbled upon it by accident. Stumbled upon it, he stumbled into it. I stumbled into it. You're right.
SPEAKER_06Oh, really?
SPEAKER_03You thought you were getting a massage. So, yes.
SPEAKER_06But that's like the whole point.
SPEAKER_03Oh, I hear this. No, it's not. It's not for me. I go, I'm a straight-up massage guy. I'm not looking for the ending, but it was the first time I ever got an offer.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, what?
SPEAKER_03So it's a mythical thing, I thought. I was like, it doesn't really happen. It happens, brother. Let me tell you something. You stumble into the right spot, you're gonna get that offer, and I got it.
SPEAKER_06Okay. Wait, so I gotta ask. That's what I was gonna ask. Like, like, was it was it worth the finale? But obviously.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, I think he turned the offer down.
SPEAKER_03I turned the issue.
SPEAKER_06You had an issue?
SPEAKER_03Never loser. Never that. I had a moral issue. Because something else was down, he turned it down. My morals were fully erect.
SPEAKER_02Okay. Good for you. I said no, thank you.
SPEAKER_03And I'm I'm I'm I'm not gonna do the accent because I can't that would not be right. But great idea.
SPEAKER_05There'd be one less box like there was before during this.
SPEAKER_03So the young lady said Oh, it wasn't a man? No. I asked for that, but I all they had was women. Um broken English, but I'm not gonna I'm not gonna do the imitation. So she said, uh you roll over now. I said, okay.
SPEAKER_05You're still doing the imitation.
SPEAKER_03No, I said you roll over now. I didn't use the accent, that's the words. Uh let's your accent alone is offensive. She said just offended. Let me self-correct. She said, Excuse me, sir, could you please turn over? And so I turned over. And she said, Turn on your hard light. She said, You want massage down there?
SPEAKER_06I said, Oh, they asked. I thought they just grab it.
SPEAKER_03Oh, no, no, no. She asked. I said, uh, no, thank you. She's like, Are you sure? I said, Yes. And she leaned down and whispered on my ear, Are you a cop? That's so good. I said, no, thank you. Uh I'm not. Um, I appreciate it.
SPEAKER_05If you're a cop, wouldn't you said yes so you could bust her?
SPEAKER_03I should have. I should have pretended. That would have been a golden opportunity.
SPEAKER_06No, she was she was trying to bust him. Okay, but seriously, this is on my bucket list, and now I know if somebody asks me, like, if anyone ever comes to my ear and says, Do you want this? I'll say, I've been waiting my whole life for this.
SPEAKER_05Thank you ever so much. So here's the key. If you can't find it in Vegas, you got a problem. So there's no.
SPEAKER_06No, I might have to go. My neck is killing me.
SPEAKER_03There are dog whistles when it comes to massage establishments. One of them is if it has the name wrong. No windows. That's one of them, yes.
SPEAKER_06I was in one recently, though, and that's where I left, and I was so disappointed. I'm like, how did this not happen? This was the per it was in a basement. They didn't speak any English. There wasn't there weren't even rooms. It was curtains blocking you from other people. I'm like, it's happening, it's happening, it's happening. It didn't happen.
SPEAKER_03No, so if they have the name, if the word rose in the name somehow. That's code word? That's one of the code words, yes.
SPEAKER_06I okay. From now on, my searches will only include Rose.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_05Massage Parlour's name Rose. In Lancaster in the 90s, when I was on the radio and uh I think I was single. If not, who cares? That moved on.
SPEAKER_06Um sorry, booby.
SPEAKER_05That place she wasn't even born yet. That Lancaster was so riddled with massage parlors when I worked there. I mean, I can right off the top of my head, I remember one called Whirl Assage. And it was they had hot tubs inside. I never made it into that one. There's a sign, just to be clear.
SPEAKER_06That's not a good sign.
SPEAKER_05The one I was in, I don't remember the name of, but I do know it was directly attached to a blockbuster video.
SPEAKER_06Directly. There was an inside door.
SPEAKER_05It's like, you're here to return the video or a little um and it was a very bizarre experience that I didn't uh let's just say follow all the way through with. But the first part started with, I'll get as comfortable as you get. So was I believe what what the opening line was.
SPEAKER_06That's a sell for me. You know what, you know what's the problem though is like first of all, it's kind of when the time comes for me, I feel like it will be so satisfying in two ways. One, that I didn't have to Google search it. I just happened to find a place unconfirmed if this is gonna be it. And then you're gonna be like, oh, this is it. But also the fact that it's it's getting done. Because like you can't Google, like, hey, any any places with happy endings? Like, I'm at least I'm not I'm not Googling that.
SPEAKER_02Like Good Grace.
SPEAKER_05Is it just me, Jagger, and maybe this is sexist? Have you ever heard a woman say that she wants to cross going to a massage parlor offer buckets of a kind of all respect, no judgment whatsoever. I've just never seen a woman say or heard a woman say that or seen a woman that wanted to go to a place like that.
SPEAKER_03I haven't heard that out loud, but I I do think that she is not in the minority of women who would who would accept such a gesture, such a kind, warm gesture as well.
SPEAKER_06Okay, here is the reality of Jana Banana. First of all, I'm a wild card. I do tend to go right when people want to go left, but also I feel like I say everything that so many people think, but refuse to admit out loud.
SPEAKER_03Nobody who's a wild card says they're wild card.
SPEAKER_06Also, I'm fairly certain that I found my place.
SPEAKER_05Oh, what's it called?
SPEAKER_06Uh paradise massage in Yep, you have me in paradise.
SPEAKER_05Now where's that? And I will say it's in Vegas. Oh.
SPEAKER_03Some of your go on vacation with your parents.
SPEAKER_05Expectations might be a little bit dashed on this because there is rubbing alcohol involved. So No, there's not. Oh, I thought you didn't go all the way, Jagger. What up?
SPEAKER_03No, I mean they don't do that on your back. No.
SPEAKER_06Wait, yeah, can you specify? Yeah.
SPEAKER_03No, they sterilize your junk. Oh. Well, never mind then.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_06Or maybe that was a good one. Yeah, that kills the romance of it for me.
