(00:05):

twenty minute morning show. All right, let's go. Welcome to Scott and
sadies twenty minute morning show. Contentwe produced today and tomorrow for the iHeart
Radio appor wherever you download podcast likeshare comments, you know, surprises.
A comment would be nice on theiTunes app, that would be a really
nice surprise. We have to sendpeople to like eighty four locations, but

(00:29):
really it's anywhere you get podcasts.But you can't leave, or you can't
leave anything on the iHeart app.No, I don't get that. But
whatever I do, why because theydon't want to hear the negativee stuff.
Yeah, we don't want to hearthe name wondering. That's why it is
and so. But on the iTunesapp, they don't care. They don't
care. Fire away if you'd likelike the Wild World lest the five star

(00:50):
reviews are nice and when you leaveone will answer any any question you have,
Like Annie, you're really solid yourselfhere. If you give us five
stars, will answer any question youhave. I say, Sadie, what
do you want to talk about?And I mean the things that I could
talk about for hours on end wouldjust so bore you and everyone else.
Yeah, but I'm intrigued by thingsthat bore me and everyone else. Well,

(01:12):
can I start here? Because Iwas reading this story this morning,
okay, and it I can't decide. I think this is awful, but
it makes me laugh. It's inThailand, and in Thailand there are restaurants
where they have like a system wherethey have like prison bars set up,

(01:34):
but each bar is a little bitbigger, and based on what bars you
can fit through, you get itdiscount on your food. So if you
can through the skinny, if youcould squeeze through the tiniest, the skinniest
bar, you get a free meal. It's like a buffet. Now if
you go if you see, yeah, and then if you go through and

(01:55):
you squeeze through the next to skinniestbar, you get you know, the
biggest discount other than a free meal, Well, a buffet. I've always
see. To me, that's brilliantbecause I always thought you should pace buffet.
You should pay a buffet on howfat the guy is. You know,
you see me come to a buffet, you're thinking, crap, there
goes the margin and guys, wegot a live one coming in. He's

(02:20):
a forty five dollar guy. I'veever seen one, you know. And
I remember my family used to bereally into the buffet life. Like growing
up. I remember when Golden Corralcame to Fort Collins. It was like,
wow, that was you know whatwe would do on Friday nights,
you know. And I remember Iwould like, I wouldn't eat because I

(02:44):
would want to eat everything at GoldenCorral. And it was the same with
a country buffet. You know whatother states in the Midwest, it's called
old Country buffet. So the constantwas like, oh, old country Buffet,
And I'm like, welcome to Colorado. Get rid of the old because
it's just country buffets. It's newhere. Actually, I do think it's

(03:06):
gone. I think that's gone.Golden Grouse. They'll exist, right,
I mean in Loveland it does that. They closed it. Now it's a
dental office, which I find soupsetting. I hate it when something I
really like, like there's a Godfather'sPizza where there used to be now it's
another dental office. There used tobe an Amigos restaurant. You remember Amigos.

(03:29):
They oh yeah, back when theAmigos, the three amigos, who
are the big thing? Kind ofnot anymore. But are you talking about
the three Amigos the show. No, there used to be the verbroncos.
I forget to even who the amigoswere. But the three of them started
open in Mexican food restaurants. Ohmy gosh, they're still in the Midwest,
but there's no Amigos here. It'sa it's a bank now. See.

(03:53):
It makes me sad because somebody likethe video store that I used to
go to as a kid to rentvideos is a dry cleaner now, I
mean difford look back on things andit makes you sad. That used to
be something cool and now it's nowit's a dry cleaner. Now it's a
dry cleaner. You're an adult.You're an adult, though you've lost the
whimsie of going to Blockbuster on aFriday night and looking for the new releases.

(04:17):
You know, Blockbuster was interesting becausenow we literally have between all the
crap we subscribe to every movie madeby man. We have it somewhere at
our fingertips for crying out out andI still can't decide what I want to
watch. Can I tell you thatif we could pull the tapes from when
we first started. I distinctly remembertalking on the radio about my idea,

(04:43):
which was, one day you won'thave to get DVDs anymore. One day
you'll be able to do it allon your TV. It'll be like the
video store is in your home.I am not kidding. I predicted the
technology now, new flying cars.I mean, that's not going to happen.
We can't even drive cars on theroad. What makes you think?

(05:04):
Can you imagine I have a kidwho's fifteen and a half. I'm having
a hard time teaching him how todrive on a road, much less now
we're gonna go flying. Could youimagine we will have fully autonomous vehicles before
we have cars that fly. Well, I just I don't see the car
flying thing, even though the otherday I was driving home and there were

(05:27):
some girls. They were walking,young teens and one they were all on
these like they're not hoverboards, it'sjust with the one big wheel. And
then they and I thought, thisis kind of like back to the future
two, because three it was awild water. Three was the West too,
but remember the hoverboard. It waslike, oh yeah, one and

(05:50):
he couldn't go for water. Iam so bad at sound effects. I
don't know why I do this?Did you do them? And every time
I do one, I'm like,that didn't sound anything like that. Somebody
wrote us yesterday. Really, Imean I looked on the iTunes app,
didn't see a damn thing that sendsmail bag. I got a message from

(06:14):
somebody who said, who was tryingto get trying to guess who the d
bag country singer was that we weretalking about. Here's the deal. For
God's sakes, we narrowed it downas much as we could everybody, And
so if you didn't get it,then I don't know what to tell you.

(06:38):
I think it was downloaded by awhole bunch of lawyers yesterday because I
like the daily statistics and it wastwice what a normal show is and cripe,
Yeah, well it's out in theopen. The loom both sides was
gearing up, you know, well, but here's the deal. I just
I can't. I don't care enoughanymore to lie about things and be like

(07:00):
this person was a dream, dreamto work with, you know what,
That's just not the way it is, and that's not the way it is
with anybody, anybody with any job. You know what, I mean,
I know what you mean, andso to me, I just say,
yeah, all right, Well I'mgoing to be honest with my experience,
and sometimes that's heartbreaking. Now,the dude that we dealt with last week,
I don't care. But I havemet people who I looked up to

(07:27):
growing up and who have disappointed me, make me sad. They're a holes.
Will begin in alphabetical order. Youhave an a hole for every later
in the alphabet. I want toas Steve, you know, the guy
at the liquor store. Anyway,so would be hard, you know,

(07:51):
they would not for me. It'seasy for you too. Come on,
just dig deeper about za you knoweverything? Yeah, I mean that guy
sucks. Hate that guy? What'sgoing on? Can I just in an

(08:13):
open moment tell you how depressing thisweather he's getting? And we I told
Scott this morning, I cannot believehow far into the year we are and
it's so yesterday. And what makesit worse, in my opinion, is
it's summer vacation, which means mykids are home and they are bored.

(08:35):
The six year old is like justbored. So usually pooled is a big
thing. Usually the pool's a thingor our backyard. She'll play, you
know, play in the backyard withher little friends. But you know,
it's just what's going on. Theconstable said last night, we're on our
fourth April, which is true.April always is like this, but then

(08:58):
it burnt, turns off and youget a good summer. I'd rather it'd
be hot than cold. But thetwo hot drives me crazy. You give
me mid eighties the entire I'm finewith that. You're set. Yeah,
And it just dawned on me thatthe the five year old became the six
year old yesterday. Wasn't no,No, she doesn't till the eighth.
Oh, not till the eighth.But you're just calling her six now because
we're practically there. I mean twodays, two days doesn't matter. But

(09:24):
first grade next year, that's abig deal. No, I can't wait.
You know what, for the firsttime ever, we were at Walmart
the other day and we were lookingfor Fourth of July stuff and they had
already taken all that crap down andmoving on school stuff. Oh god,
that was remember. I lit up. But I did it with the other

(09:45):
that's what's weird. As with theolder two, I did not. I
was like I'm so sad they're goingback. I don't even know who I
was back then, and now withher, I'm like, be free.
But she is the most active childin the history of the world. That's
because she is your husband's daughter.Oh she golfs, she plays softball,

(10:05):
she plays baseball, football, everything, and she's never tired. You know
how many how many practices is thisgoing to parlay into as she starts to
get old. I don't know.I get worried because you get into those
club sports and later weekends, allfor your kid. You know what.
When I was growing up, wedid city leagues, and by we,

(10:26):
I mean my brother. I didn'tplay anything ever, but it was like
thirty bucks. They'd give you somethingbeat up, lice ridden stuff to put
on, a helmet that fits yourcranium, and then they let you go.
Then now it's a whole new expensiveball game. I work with a
guy at the other at the otherjob, and today, as a matter

(10:48):
of fact, he is leaving togo on a tropical vacation. He says
it's the first time his eighteen yearold will have ever seen the ocean.
WHOA. I looked at him andI said, dude, don't you guys
travel club sports? Oh sense,they were kids, they've been club sports,
clubs, baseball, baseball, baseballis baseball. At summer, his
eighteen year old, the first timehe's got to see the ocean. That's

(11:09):
because since the time they could swinga bat, they were doing every weekend.
It's too much, everybody, it'stoo much. I don't know.
I have friends who have. Ihave one friend who has three kids in
club soccer, and it's we can't. We can never hang out because she's

(11:31):
every weekend they're traveling, or they'replaying soccer, or you know, something
like that. And I'm sitting onmy patio with my mediocre soccer playing kids,
and I'm content. She likes toplay soccer in the backyard. I
like to sit and watch her.Everybody wins. I don't know, but

(11:52):
you know what. The Constable grewup in a very That was their life.
They play every single one of thefour kids laid sports. And it
was like it wasn't even seasonal likewe played basketball. It was they went
from football to basketball to baseball toI mean they that's all they did.
But you look at your husband.His aptituded football paid for his college.

(12:16):
That's true. Yeah, he didgo play. That's pretty sweet. So
if you didn't spit those kids upto where they have an aptitude and had
given sports, do you think,but listen, don't you think when it
comes to sports now, because againhe did grow up where he played,
but he played all city stuff.I mean, he didn't play the crazy
leagues. I do see some parentswhere it is like, who was I

(12:37):
talking to the other day and theirkid was in a club sport and they
added it up and it was eighteenthousand dollars. It's a ridiculous amount of
money. And that doesn't that didn'tinclude traveling. She said, yeah,
then they got to travel one stayin the hotels and do all that stuff.
Oh listen, listen, we didit with Sophie. I mean for
years and years we I've spent mypast eight birthdays at Disney World because they

(13:03):
have a competition cheer cheer, cheer, and so we're really trying to like
not do that. But she's decidedshe's not going to do that at the
issue, right, she doesn't wantto cheer at the issue. I don't
know. And I said, well, aren't you a aren't you high on
your horse. No, I'm justkidding. She just doesn't want to do
it. And again with the clubthing, she spent the last forever every

(13:26):
weekend having to be somewhere, everyevening, having to be somewhere. You
know, our friend Amy her elo, I'm going to UNC. But she's
got a cheer for UNC and theyfound a little scholarship money for so maybe
that's not such a bad thing.My kid wants to focus on drinking well.
And that's another thing, is she'sso straight and narrow, like I'm

(13:48):
curious to see how we're gonna do. I think she's got She's got a
good head on her shoulders, thiskid, and so I think she'll be
fine. But you know, thecheer thing always really kept her in a
straight line. Have a little freedom. Now she's gonna have a little more
freedom. I hope she can handleit because it's awesome. Edom Yeah,

(14:09):
I mean, you're never going tolet your kids know how awesome the freedom
is, but it's awesome. SoI'm just interested to see the blueprint that
I put on my child. IsI think, Okay, if if Jack
did everything that I did, yeah, I'd be okay with that. Okay,
what do you mean like bad,Like, yeah, I made some

(14:30):
mistakes, I you know, someyeah beers and some girls. Listen,
I didn't even go to college becauseI got knocked up. And so she's
already got points on me for advice. I kind of question about relationships.
You seem to have your life ontrack anyway, So yeah, I think

(14:54):
it's going to be interesting. Shemoves out, you know, she's starting
to start enough. Well, youknow what she's starting to do is clean
clean her room out. Then allof a sudden, our hallway is like
a good will. I'm like,you know part of cleaning is then delivering
it to the donation. Yeah,oh no, it'll sit there and then
she'll leave start afresh. It's likethe people that rent a place and they

(15:16):
leave it trash. Well, Ryanhas a pickup, so you know,
I know, mom, you havearms to carry stuff downstairs. Are you
anxious for her because she is gettingout of the house but she's not that
far away. No, I'm okay. Like I said, she's got a
good head on her shoulders, waybetter than I had at her age,

(15:37):
and and so I think she's goingto do fine. But that taste of
freedom, it's a sweet, sweetnectar where once you get it, it's
like, hell, yes, noone is waiting for me to come home.
I have a buddy, and thisis this is impressive. In fact,
he's he's a guy that graduated fromWest Point. Oh that that's insane.

(15:58):
And his son got in to WestPoint and they just delivered their son
to the military academy and he islocked down for six weeks no internet,
no phone, no communication, nonothing. For the next six weeks.
His life is a living hell.And really they can't have phone at part.
They run forever and ever and everpart of their induction into West Point.

(16:19):
And I believe that's basically their basictraining when they when they go where
you detach because your focus needs tobe on serving this great country. Wow,
that to me is impressive. Thatis incredibly impliesive considering c Issue has
these tiny robots that bring food fromthe cafeteria if you don't feel like walking
to the cafeteria. I still can'tget over that. Get over it.

(16:41):
I feel like I'm in the future. She's like, well, talking to
me about the credit, she's goingto take it. I think if I
do this my freshman year, itwould pay off in my junior, and
I'm like, tell me again,yes, is it free the robot?
Do you have to pay like afee? It's like a grubhub thing.
I want to go to campus now, of which I'd be completely lost on

(17:04):
because I'm sure it's changed since I'vebeen there, But I want to go
back to campus and see these robotsrunning about. Have you seen them?
Yes? Yes, I will have. Sophie sends you a video it's bonkers
and bananas because these things are likeme. And then it comes in one
of those thermal bags to keep yourfood warm, and you unzip the bag
and you like me like, thisis the future, you guy? What's

(17:29):
keep there? What's to keep aless than scrupulous student from just snatching the
thermal bag on top of robot?And would you believe that? I just
thought of that as you were sayingit, like, hey, hey,
look at that robot. You know, my case and dias on its way
and I'm really hungry and some stoner, I don't know, you know what
it Maybe it has like a cameraon it. I'm sure it does.

(17:51):
It has somehow somebody would have mightpick up the whole robot and take it
home. Robot arrived empty handed.I have a robot that's my house.
Just put some rocks. Maybe it'sa wait system, could be if it
feels the bag, you know,and the alarm goes off and the mother

(18:11):
robot comes and zaps you or no, the campus police you're just which are
will assume your robots? Yeah?I have gone three or four days without
SNAI. Well, you know what. I saw this commercial and it was
starring j Loo and it was anAI commercial and where it's like it shows

(18:32):
her sitting outside like in a bikiniand she's like, I only trust this
brand of blah blah blah, andthen it shows like, uh, in
the back room there are these averagelooking folks like you and me with the
headphones on and they're talking and it'sgoing through J Loo's mouth because it's AI.
It's deep thank you. But I'mlike, wow, they're like joking

(18:56):
about it, you know, LikeI'm surprised they're joking about it because it
is kind of scary because and I'mlike, dude, if I'm j Low,
I don't want it to be knownthat someone could pretend to be me
and be me, be me.I'm terrified now. See this stuff scares
me to death. Well, andthey're in see we are like becoming the

(19:18):
Black Helicopter podcast. But they're startingto like slip it into you know media
these days where it's like, isn'tthat funny? J Low and all these
people are talking for j LO AndI'm like, oh, unless you're in
a room with the person and seeit come from their own tulips and are

(19:41):
but like pinch them and say,yes, Sadie, that is indeed you
You can't believe anything, You reallycan't anymore. Have you heard any of
those recordings with the ai of thesingers. I'm like, oh, the
other day I found one and itwas Kanye West singing a Luke Bryant song
