of the year, the only Friday the thirteenth of.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
The year that surprises me.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
The bad news if you're somebody that loves Friday the
thirteenth and you're into all that dark magic, there are
plenty of people that share the same fear with you.

October because Hallway stuff.

have three Friday the thirteenth, and there was two and
twenty twenty five.

Oh okay.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
A poll found the majority of Americans don't really care
about the date today. When people were asked, do you
think Friday the thirteenth and unlucky day? Eighty percent said it.
It's probably are definitely not unlucky. It's probably unlucky or
definitely not unlucky.

Geez.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
One other thing. It's Friday the thirteenth, And if you
don't think you're superstitious, it can still mess with your head.
Psychologists call it ms illusory correlation.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
Okay, have you heard of it that one?

Speaker 3 (01:28):
I haven't.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
I thought it was going to be that really long.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Which is our tendency to make connections between unrelated things.
So spilling your coffee on yourself gets blamed on it
being an unlucky.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Okay, well you know I mean illusory correlation.

percent right right, Yeah, there's a word trick, trick do.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
That was just a and I think that has something
to do like you're afraid of the number thirteen.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
But then you can just be like me and walk
around and be like what else can happen?

Speaker 3 (02:10):

Speaker 4 (02:11):
It bring at thirteen? Like how much worse can this
day be? Although I am.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Hereay Friday the thirteen, it is a good day for
me though, because I'm getting the house to myself.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
Why Warren's leaving.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
He's meeting his sister at noon and they're having a
big casino day.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
Oh my god, so excited.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
Did you give him some playing money?

Speaker 4 (02:37):
I did?

Speaker 5 (02:37):
Now is he spending the night like at a casino
or at his sister's house or is that going a
sad part?

Speaker 4 (02:43):
Chelsea? We were going over the day yesterday.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
I was in the kitchen and I was like, so,
how's tomorrow going to go? It's his sister's birthday was yesterday.
Happy birthday, Sarah. His birthday was May thirty.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
First.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
They're having a birthday celebration, and so he's giving me
you know, they're going to meet, They're going to the casino.
Oh blah blah blah. And I was like, and you're
going to spend the night and he's like, no, I
think I'll come home.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
And I was like, it's interesting that no one, you know,
called Jay about perhaps going to Hollywood casino a Greek
town and maybe I'd set you up with a beautiful
crash room and a little little home base and all that.
Maybe some pen play, free play, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
We don't like to take advantage. Oh well, that's nice
of you, but I also.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
Didn't think of it. But thank you. Well the thought counts.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
You get credit for you get credit?

Speaker 4 (03:27):
Yeah, you do.

Speaker 5 (03:28):
And then is this also going to be like his
Father's Day gift that you're giving him?

Speaker 4 (03:32):
Is prot that yeah, he's a cat dad.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah for new listeners, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Yeah it is.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Because yesterday I was going over how much money I
was going to give him, because when Warren gambles, I
don't anticipate any wins.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
No, he doesn't try. He's not strategic.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
So I told him how much money I was going
to give him, and he was like, oh, okay, he's
like I just thought I.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
Thought three hundred dollars was good.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Sure for a casino day, that's great. What does he
play a slot? I play?

Speaker 4 (03:57):
Yeah? So I thought, I mean, I just thought that
was I know, it's like a fair amount.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
He had a different amount in his head and I
was what five hundred yeah, and he said it's well,
we've known about it for a while. And I was like, okay, fine, fine, fine,
I thought three hundred was good. So five hundred physic
a lot that does fat Father's Day is factored in.
There's not even be a homemade card now from your cat, No,
we can't, or pens.

When I was in Warren last weekend, there was a
Hallmark store that was across the street, and I was
very tempted to go in there because you just don't
see very many of them anymore.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yeah, and I don't want to hear anything about Hallmark
stores shutting down because, let me tell you something, if
you're going to put out those terrible movies now that
