Speaker 1 (00:04):
Let me know when you're ready.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I bet that's a good start.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
This is Tanner, Drew and Laura's Donkey Show, Donkey.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Show, What's up?
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Yeah, with no kids, no kids sound effects. I just
go to whatever I see.
Speaker 5 (00:23):
That's not I don't like that.
Speaker 6 (00:24):
I like the spitball, you know, bringing in rando.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
Someone's getting burned alive.
Speaker 6 (00:35):
It does sound like that. I don't like now that
you mention it.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yeah, that's why I sounded. And I was taking a
poop yesterday.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
So many flaming hut cheetahs.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Laura has been like fascinated with the story about the
home of the Cheetoh or was it the Freedom.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
It's no, it's a it's like a it's like a
freedom lay manufacturing plant. I believe hold On le pulled
the story for you. But the home where where flaming
hot Cheetos were created.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I've heard her mentioning this like twenty seven times no more.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Well, Drew was going to talk about it in the
Big Story today.
Speaker 6 (01:11):
And then Joey Chestnut took over. Yeah, so I was
I had to pivot.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
So okay. So in Rancho Cucamonga, California, the birthplace of
flaming Hot Cheetahs has closed its doors after more than
fifty years. Wow, Freeto Lay has closed the entire plant,
cut hundreds of jobs, which is a bummer. But it
was like a cultural icon because this is the birthplace
of Flaming Hot Cheetos. They've been around since nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
But for me, I don't feel like I remember it
as far back as.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
That because I don't think it became like a cultural phenomenon.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
I feel like recently.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
I feel like recently the flaming Hot stuff took off
because I don't remember flaming Hot Cheetos growing.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Up, and I hadn't. I hadn't never had them until
just a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
And I love them. They're fantastic.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
They're really good.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Marcus, what were you going to say?
Speaker 5 (01:59):
I I.
Speaker 7 (02:01):
Kind of sad about this whole thing, But I'm not
really a big Flame and Hot Cheetos fan.
Speaker 8 (02:04):
Am I the only one?
Speaker 9 (02:05):
Like?
Speaker 7 (02:06):
I'll eat like a couple of them, like maybe two
or three, and I've had enough for the entire bag.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
I'll never go out of my way to buy Flame
and Hot Cheetahs. I mean they will still, they'll still
be produced. It's just this plant is shutting down.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
I'm only I mainly buy sun chips like a harvest
cheddar or you know some other guys.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
And if I'm gonna buy the Cheetos, I buy like
the baked regular one.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
But if I go in there, if I go in
into an a MPM and I'm baked out of my mind,
I might be getting a bag of flame and hot Cheetahs.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
That's not about. Next time I go to my plaid pantry,
instead of buying like some peatrings and sour patch kids,
I should just buy a bag of flame Hut.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
They're prety good instant I do love you.
Speaker 7 (02:44):
I'll tell you the ones you should try right now,
or the new the you know the Lays does the
do us a flavor thing? And they do like three
new ones. They're all dressed chips that they have out
right now? Are I mean maybe a leader in the clubhouse,
Like they might be my favorite lazed potato chip behind
the yellow bag originals.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
What is all dressed?
Speaker 9 (03:03):
Me?
Speaker 6 (03:03):
Is that like everything?
Speaker 8 (03:05):
Yeah, it's it's a Canadian chip.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
Like they're huge on all dressed chips, just like they're
huge on ketchup chips.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Oh, I was gonna say Is it the same thing
as kenup chips?
Speaker 7 (03:14):
No, No, it's it's got so on the back of
the bag it says it's savory like sour cream and onion,
it's sweet like barbecue, and it's tangy like salt and vinegar.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
That actually sounds delicious.
Speaker 8 (03:24):
Really good.
Speaker 7 (03:25):
It's like a tangy kind of vinegary barbecue chip. Is
the way I would put it. And dude, I'll eat
the whole Like Ashley had to tell me after I
opened them and how much I liked them, She's like, please,
don't eat the whole bag before I get to try them.
And it's taken everything I have in my fucking body
not to finish that bag in the last two days.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
Don't worry, Marcus. The serving size is thirteen chips. I'm
sure you stopped right there.
Speaker 7 (03:46):
Yeah, they are thirteen handfuls that I cram into my
mouth and turn into mashed potatos.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
Like they shouldn't even be able to present it that way, Like,
who in the history of chips is only eating thirteen
out of a family bag? Is going to put thirteen
chips in and call that satisfaction?
Speaker 5 (04:04):
But also, I feel like the only thing that but
that's that's how much they put in the bag. Now,
I feel like thirty chips is what they've dont the
rest just filled with air.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
That's fair.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
Yeah, thirty full chips. And then somebody kicks the bag
right before it goes on the trucks, so they all
turn into quarter sized chips, and then you just deal
with it.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
I ate some stale, flaming hot Cheetos once, and I
know they were they looked fine, and then I bit
into it and I feel like I can still taste it.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
And it's like they're like gummy or like they're.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Like like stick to your teeth.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
Yeah, yea, they don't have the pop, there's no crunch.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
I saw this video floating around on TikTok the other
day and it gave me a really good idea. So
there's this guy who, apparently, when he's bored, makes he
makes he has people make cameos for him. He'll just
pay them and have him say some crazy shit. Yeah,
and it's like it's it's just it's like his thing.
I was thinking, I gotta start doing this on the show,
you know, like get pay for somebody, some wash up
(05:00):
celebrity to do a cameo for us, but kind of
make him say some stump like stupid stuff. Yeah, uh,
this is he had. This guy had an old wrestler,
an old wrestler.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Do it Sometimes when I get bored, I buy cameos
and I just write the craziest prompt that I can
think of. This is one that I just sent to
Tito Santana, the WWE superstar. Hey, Tito, I went on
a date with my high school crush. Things were going
amazing until Indian food wrecked me and I legit shit myself.
He was weirdly sweet about it, though, But now what
(05:29):
do I bring it up or pretend it didn't happen? Help?
Speaker 9 (05:32):
This is w w E Hall of Famer Tito Santana
giving a shout out to Jimmy. Jimmy, you went out
with the girl that you had a big time crush on.
(05:52):
You had an amazing night.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
A hard time speaking, and tell you shit on yourself.
Speaker 9 (05:59):
Not good news, But forget about it. It happened, but
don't ever bring it up. And it never happened. I
hope you're still with your crush.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
There it is.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Wow, that's actually amazing.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
I gotta start doing that, man. I gotta I gotta
send some cameos. Are some of these people?
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Yeah, his ability to roll through sentences has got a
few too many chairs across the back of that.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
It looked like he was reading stuff too, and reading's
extra tough. These some of these people make so much money.
Like the guy who played Kevin on on The Office,
I think.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
He I think he does better than a lot of it.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
I think he was the number one for a while
because he's because I made a million dollars from cameo
in one year.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
I bought a cameo done by Oscar from the Office
for somebody Christmas, for somebody wants, and I think it
was like two hundred bucks. But his like if you
go back and watch the other videos that he's done
for other people, he kind of did it like there
was an outline for it. It's like he kind of
said the same thing every time, but then would squeeze
(07:05):
in like a little customized part. But it wasn't so,
I like, not very good.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I feel like that's one take for these people.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Yeah, I like, but I liked it. This w W
guy just like that's all he talked about, was this
dude shitting his pants.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Yeah, forget about it.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Never bring it up again.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Don't bring it up. Yeah, that's great. We got you
know what we got to bring back to is the
cameo game.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
Oh yeah, where they guess how much their cameras are worth.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Got a more expensive camera justin bieber or justin Timberlake,
something like that.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Well, you know what I mean. I'll just give an example.
Don't attack me, just write it down on the board,
lady cameo game.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Uh oh, this went viral to This is pretty funny,
this lady. You know, the protests are going crazy in
Los Angeles right now?
Speaker 6 (07:54):
Which one it's all of it?
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Well, this woman went viral for for want her outfit
and then what she was saying, She's got like a
leaf blower in her hand, and they asked her why
she's got the leaf blower in her hand and why
not to this?
Speaker 8 (08:11):
What's the wind blower for? Just by the dearness to
blow doesn't matter?
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Fuck if you have a bring it up.
Speaker 8 (08:20):
You could say something to Donald Trump right now what
he said.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
Drop you just sun my left knut looking goat my
f drawer.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
You're just mac a son get at the time of day,
I been just son of shine by make you look
like a lover.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Then she walked away. Wow, God, what did he call
leaf floor? Wind?
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Wind window?
Speaker 6 (08:41):
What do you do a wind blower? Talking? Have you
ever done an ounce of yard work?
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Bro? That was a woman And and once you look
at the video, the answer is no.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
Oh that is a woman. The left nut thing was
impressive though, Yeah, that's what I thought. It was hilarious.
That's the best lion of the week.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
You know, I like you. But blow the tear gas back.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Fuck these motherfuckers like she was just getting into.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Do you think that works? It's kind of like I
never would have thought of that.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
I bet it blows just like the stuff in your
like vicinity away, but it's not getting it all out there.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
Yeah you're not.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Actually, everybody, bring out your leaf blow dude.
Speaker 6 (09:16):
She held it up in the air like a sword. Yeah,
William Wall. With these electric ones, you guys could go
out for a good eleven minutes.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
And I have that Sam electric blower and it's fantastic.
Is it the de wal it's the it's the green one. Yeah, no, no, no,
it's not Ryobi.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
That's the blue Maybe is green Neon one?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
It's I think Reyobi's I thought I was blue.
Speaker 7 (09:40):
Is a green is like fluorescent green and yellow and black? Well, anyway,
I will take you right now. It's all depends on
the trade winds. They're in a coastal city. I'm in Eugene, Oregon,
and if I go out with that goddamn leaf blower
after three pm, everything that I blow ends up eighteen
feet behind me. So I would you know, you might
(10:00):
just be kind of screwing yourself, getting a little bit
more to your gas in your face if you're not careful.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
And that stuff is so strong.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
When we were having the protests in downtown Portland one night,
I went scooting down the waterfront and that courthouse is
what six blocks away. I could smell it and taste it,
and my eyes were getting itchy on the waterfront.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
And you think about how dissipated it is and it's
still hurting. That is powerful. So my guess is those
sleep blowers are not doing much as much.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
But yeah, you know whatever, I love that you see
these people, you know, they were they're like it's like
a bicycling helmet because that's all they got and then
they'll like strap like an old shitty vest to their
chest and just go out and the protest and the
brave heart of East La.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
But it's it's wild there right now. And anyway, I
thought that lady was funny.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
Yeah, she her passion is unrivaled.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
What else did we not discuss today? Guys? Did you
guys have a fun show today? I did? It was
a good show. On Tursday, Drew's Birthday.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Show celebrating the bat Day.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Drew's Big Bong, Drew's Big bing Bong Birthday, Ganza, it's
his birthday, blowout, all.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
Blow Well, the blowout'll be later when I eat too
many hot dogs.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Oh, I thought you were going somewhere else with that.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
I was like, true keep Oh yeah, No, there's no
time for any time for Drew. The kids are out
for summer. My my sex life is on hold. And
today's last day Yesterday, yes esday, So it's it's over.
It's today for beefly bad timing the big finish.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Do you get a blow out yesterday?
Speaker 6 (11:28):
No, Yesterday is the last day of school and they
got out at eleven. I was at work. Yeah, it's
too bad, and you know, my babysitter, my parents are
out of the country. You know, it's the thing.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
If it gets out at eleven am.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
What's a point one hundred to mark the day as
a day state funding things like that. They don't want
to stay in school, but if they get to eleven
o'clock on that day, we went one more day, which
fulfills the prophecy. You get all your money for next year,
which is always less than you need anyway, so their
hands are tied on it. Annoying for parents will never
(12:02):
pick them up at eleven all year.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Yeah, that day, I will say, though, like the last
day of school, that last half day was always one
of my favorite days. I just have like memories of
First of all, we didn't have ac in my school,
so I always remember like windows open, it was always
a little muggy inside. But I just remember sitting in
the choir room, all the chairs were up, sitting on
(12:24):
the floor with friends playing cards, and that's like all
we did all day.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
Anna go ahead.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
I feel like I missed out on that feeling because
I never had a day like that because starting when
I was in second grade, we never went to school
for a full day on Friday. Second grade, all the
way through, we were out at noon on Fridays because
of the distance that the sports teams had to travel
to get to their spots, they would miss a full
(12:52):
day Friday and they wouldn't get it counted. So as
long as we went till one minute past noon, the
state would count it as a full day on Friday,
and then those teams could could get on the bus
and travel for the rest of the day and actually
make it on time for like night basketball and football games.
I never had that last day feeling like it was
always just a Friday at noon, like we most of
(13:13):
us didn't even show up towards the end of it
because it was like there somebody will mark me present.
Speaker 8 (13:18):
Yeah, you know, and it.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
Was cool, but it also jaded me for Fridays for
the rest of my life. I never took a class
on Friday in college, and now I hate Fridays because
I have to work.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Yeah, any like this sucks?
Speaker 6 (13:29):
Yeah, kids, I mean it's the same thing. They mark
a full day every Thursday and the girls, instead of
two forty, they get out at two and it's like, Okay,
well it's only forty minutes, but it's forty minutes every
week all year, so you know, it's a luxury that
when we were in school, Rain or shine five days
a week unless it was a national holiday.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
My high school, really I really liked the time. So
when I went to Marshall, just like a normal day,
he got out of three or something like that. But
when I moved to Milwaukee and went to Milwaukee High School,
the times changed, you know for the school, and it
got out at two ten.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
And so did you start earlier?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Yeah, we started at seven twenty.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Yeah, we started at seven twenty, but I feel like
we got out at two forty.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
I think I got out at like two forty five.
Regular school started at eight. But they offered something in
my school called zero hour where you could opt and
I think it was only offered to like juniors and
seniors maybe where you could opt to go earlier and
then get out earlier in the day.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Oh wow.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
They changed also, Like when we were kids, everyone got
at high school, grade school, middle school all got out
at the same time, basically give or take a little
bit of time. But they realized how bad that was
if you had kids in different schools. So what happens
is the grade school in the high school. The high
school is half fun with cars. They get out at
the same time and then it's a whole nother hour
(14:47):
and twenty minutes until the middle school gets out. Those
kids go to school till four o'clock. I would be
that's crazy. I would have been in a lot of
trouble trying to keep it together till four when you're
in and you're high and you're a little dick.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Did you guys when you were in school have eight
days and B days?
Speaker 6 (15:04):
Yeah? No blue and white days because of the school colors,
but exact same thing.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Yeah, So days and B days were at my school.
So there were four classes a day hour and a
half each or something like that. Yeah, and so some
days you would have some fun classes and some days
you'd have shit classes. There was I think my senior year,
my entire year, the A days were like awful because
I had all the shit classes, and then B days
(15:28):
it was like pe and.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Drama and all the things I enjoyed to do.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
Where you get that study hall where you're clear to
just like do your thing.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Yeah, and you just go sleep in the library or whatever.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
I was so ahead on credits that by my senior
year I had like student aid in the library and
then a study hall and then like all these like
blowoff classes that I didn't have to do anything.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
And at my school, if you had them at the
end of the day. Now I had a full slate
because I needed to make up some credits. Same but
that last period they would actually call it early release
and they be like, well, that's stupid to keep you here, right,
And so if you didn't have the last one, you'd
just leave.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
And my friend, my friend Jake had one class on
on like an I think on B Day that was.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
Airly going yeah, And it's one of those deals where
I remember them leaving during that senior year time, and
that was where I was just like kicking myself for
all the classes I had needed to make up because
I was I'd used mine up freshman year.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
M hmm.
Speaker 7 (16:24):
I got so lucky with that because of our four
day or four and a half day school week. A
girl that was a senior when I was a junior
had her credits totally taken care of and so on
B Days she only took one class and it was
at eight in the morning and she was out. She
would work at a job like nine to the rest
of the day on B Days. Well, when she got
to the end of the year, they looked at her
(16:46):
attendants and they're like, you haven't. You haven't come to
school enough this year for us to graduate. You like,
this state doesn't because it's she would only go to
one class those days, so they wouldn't count them as
a day.
Speaker 8 (16:56):
It has to be back noon or else they don't
count it.
Speaker 7 (16:59):
And so she ended up like with like I think
two or three weeks left in the school year, she
was at school five days a week for the entire time,
just trying to make up time so that she could graduate.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
So what I did after I learned that that's so
unfair for dude.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
My bet days though, were just like you were talking about, Tanner.
I had study all in the morning, then I had pe,
then I had study hall, and then I had band.
And I'd been in the band for six years at
that point, so I just never went. It was the
the bat days were so good my senior year. I
miss those days now.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
Isn't it funny how the school is a robot though, Like,
and I get it. The funding they have to it's
on the state level. It comes down, it comes down
the hill. But you know, and where my kids go
to school, I know that the teachers at the ground
level care about these kids. I read the messages. It's incredible.
But I told Tanner and Laura and hear about this.
(17:52):
But one of the girls got sick and ended up
in the hospital where she had an infection in her leg,
and she was admitted. She was not at home. It
wasn't like her mom being a hover mom. She's in
the hospital to treat a pretty aggressive infection, missed a
bunch of school.
Speaker 8 (18:10):
Well.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
On the ninth or tenth day, the school informed her
that by state law, she was going to be removed
from the school on the thirteenth absence. Thirteen absences in
a row, and you don't go to the school.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
In But there's got to be like some sort of
like medical medical you know, like unless it's a medical reason, because.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
That seems unfair.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
It's ridiculous, you know, like, let's do it by a
case by case basis and not just well, this is
what the law says.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
The girl got sick and is in the fucking.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
Hospital, and the doctor's note should be good enough, but
the state automatically rejects her. So even when the principal,
it was brought to the principal's attention and the principle's like, hey,
I have zero power here. The state is just going
to flick her off the mountain what they ended up
doing because luckily it's you know, they understand what you're saying, Tanner,
(18:58):
that this is not fair. They held the spot for
they refuse to allow a new entry because normally, if
a spot opens up, somebody can lobby for it and
take it. But they were like, we are not going
to tell a little girl when she gets out of
the hospital that she doesn't go to school here anymore.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Is it just like thirteen days in a row, because
they've got to be in a row. So couldn't they
just like wheel her a little No, but like do
a little trick rou and just be like, okay, today
everyone is marking her present. Yeah, just to like start
the clock over again.
Speaker 6 (19:26):
And you would think so, but they are just such sticklers,
like when we've dealt with things like uh, school boarders
and class size is full. When you lobby that, hey
it's not fair, they don't hear and they don't want
to hear any of it. Yeah, it's like, sorry, the
rules are the rules. Like, this isn't the judicial system,
this is the education system, right, we should be rounding
the corners.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
It's amazing that in that situation, say, hey, could you
wake her up from their medically induced coma. She's got
a history test and we really need to mark.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
On it or else we need funding.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Sorry, we should.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
It should be a case by case ba not just
some blanket rule or a girl like that. An innocent
girl like that gets screwed. It's not fair Like it
goes in front of the superintendent.
Speaker 6 (20:07):
They look at it. Okay, that's that's fine. Void, They're fine.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Yeah, and let's just be over with it.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
Yeah, but no, we got to do the whole dog
and pony ridiculous dagging penny shit d penny. But she
got back into the school and everybody survived it in
the end.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Yeah, all right. A couple of things we didn't get
to on the show today.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
This is a new study led by Prime Rose Freestone.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
All right.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
It highlights the dents and diverse microbial population found in beards.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Oh, I don't want to hear about this.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
The microbial environment, fueled by factors like warmth and moisture,
can harbor bacteria, fung guy, and viruses. Concerns about beard
hygiene have existed for about fifty years, with studies showing
that facial hair can retain bacteria even after washing. Marcus,
how fix your beard right now?
Speaker 8 (20:58):
It's standard.
Speaker 7 (20:59):
I haven't been to the barber in a few actually,
it's been almost two months, so it is a little
bit longer than what normally is.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Marcus a little thin on the top, but boy, is
his beard nice and thick.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Usually how it goes. That's how it is with my
brother too. He's got he backs his head, he's got
no hair on top, and then he's got a big old,
thick bead.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
I feel like Marcus could have if he ever lived here,
he could be one of the great beards of Portland.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Yeah, I could see him being that guy who shaves
his head but has a big beard.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
Yeah he look violent. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Now, While some research suggests that beards may may increase
infection risk, other studies find no significant difference in bacterial
colonization between bearded and clean shaven individuals. Like us Okay,
experts recommend daily washing, moisturizing, and grooming to maintain the beard.
I washed it every day. You know, if I took
(21:47):
a shower anyway, i'd always and I didn't have a
very long one. Mine was very thin, and you know,
you could see skin and everything.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
It's like stars.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Yeah, but yeah, I'd still washed it because there were
still hair there, and I just thought the idea was
of not washing.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
I mean, you gotta wash your face, you know, so
that's a part of your face.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
Well I would treat it almost like my scalp even,
you know, and just like really get your fingers in there,
make sure you're not getting that.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
When my beard was thicker like Marcus's, I definitely did.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
That, yeah, which is smart.
Speaker 7 (22:15):
I mean I do it with Ashley's got this like
gentle facial cleanser, So I used to use when I
was poor. It would just be shampoo, like just bring
it on down to the chin. But now I've got
it because that always dried it out and made my
beard kind of stick out all scraggly.
Speaker 8 (22:30):
I didn't like it.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
But a nice, a nice facial cleanser, get your fingers
in there, really scratch it up, get it foamed up.
That's a daily thing for me in the shower. And
I mean my whole thing is I've always worried that
any girl that ever is around me is gonna smell
something that's weird.
Speaker 8 (22:46):
So I'd like, I couldn't.
Speaker 7 (22:47):
Kiss my wife if I didn't do that every day
because I'd just be worried about it. But really, dude,
you gotta I gotta go golfing and spend four hours
out in the sun and like the elements before I'll
even notice a week stink or anything out of my beard.
It's not really as a problem as you'd expect. I
guess maybe the guys that have like, you know, six
eight twelve inches hanging off their face, maybe they get
(23:09):
some stuff stuck in there.
Speaker 8 (23:10):
But I don't have that.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
I never had that problem either. Also, I'm you know,
I would clean it and comb it out.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
If it was.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
There's different levels of hygiene. You guys are on top
of it. Some dudes are like, it's just a beard
and when you think about it like that, you're gonna smell.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
But keep that in mind. Keep that in mind. Ladies.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
If if you if your man's has a beard and
it kind of stinks, it's because there's tons of fun
guys just don't another thing stuck.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
In I've never been into beard. It's like I much
prefer clean shaven or like, well, now I'm just dating
people exclusively with mustache, so you can do with stash.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Yeah, I mean those mustaches are so creepy.
Speaker 6 (23:47):
Would you prefer stash or no stash?
Speaker 5 (23:49):
I would prefer no stash, but I would prefer stash
over beard.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
It's written up to hug me every time I see you.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
It's not like he doesn't want to rub on your face.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
I can be friends with people with beard.
Speaker 6 (24:03):
Yeah, you're like, I.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Don't know, you're pretty mean to me when I had
a beard and you're soft and.
Speaker 6 (24:10):
Oh what Yeah, I don't know about that weirdest.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
I'm just dead. I'm just dead to it.
Speaker 8 (24:16):
She's a beardist, I'm telling a beardist.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Yeah, yeah, anti beardite exactly.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
This study shows how much hourly workers struggle financially. A
recent survey of about two thousand Americans, including one thousand
gen Z people in a thousand retail employees, found that
thirty nine percent would consider living paycheck to paycheck and
uh and an improvement over their current financial situation.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
Most people are only a couple of payments away from trouble.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
Yeah right, It's it's like it's just like the government.
I felt like, you know, when COVID happened. I was like,
why don't we have more of a cushion, But that's
that's why most of us are, you know, and we
only have like a paycheck or two and then we're
like done panic mode.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
Yeah. In the last couple of years, I really realized
that there is a much backbone behind just about everything,
including your eggs. I mean, it comes all the way
down to.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
That study revealed dire circumstances, with forty four percent having
overdrawn their bank accounts in the last month and thirty
eight percent having less than one thousand dollars in savings.
Over a third thirty four percent, rely on multiple jobs,
yet many have resorted to extreme measures like selling personal
items or dumpster diving to make ends meet. Man half
feel their financial health is out of their control, and
(25:32):
seventy percent believe on demand pay could improve their situation.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
I do feel like, and I know a lot of
people don't think the same way I do. But it's like,
if you're busting your ass and you're working a full
time job, you should be able to put a roof
over your head, you should be able to buy groceries.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
If you're working for hours forty hours away even if
you're making any job, you should any job.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
It could be McDonald's, it could be bagging groceries. Like
if you are doing what you're supposed to be doing,
which is being out there working hard, or even just
working like just just showing up punching a time card,
you should be able to support yourself and your family.
Speaker 6 (26:09):
This country is built on the idea that hard work
pays off, and now that has faded because of the
price of life. But it used to be in nineteen
fifty five. If you've said, Okay, i'm gonna get up
every day, I'm gonna grind. I'm gonna do forty hours
at this job, you would retire. Yeah, well you could.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Kids would go to school work at a grocery store.
And I'm saying, buy a house.
Speaker 6 (26:31):
That's just who I am. But I grind, don't. I
don't make excuses. I do forty plus. But now that's
just not good enough.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
And I think a lot of people like have this
mindset of like, well, you can't afford to live, you
must not be working hard enough. And for a lot
of people that's simply.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Not Some people are working too much and they're not
getting a chance to rest.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
Still, can't get ahead and it sucks.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
Like you go to the airport and you see some
of these people are doing these tough jobs, like the
janitorial or whatever, and it's like and they look dead
because they had to get up at three and they're
going to work until seven tonight and still probably have
two roommates. Right, it's to me, it's bong. Yeah, yeah,
but I don't know the answer or data.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Man, have you got roommates?
Speaker 5 (27:13):
That is actually true?
Speaker 6 (27:14):
So that mind fellas I know, And that's why she's
single in Portland in a place with the highest rent
in town.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
Oh my god, tell me about it. Yeah. But I mean, look,
if you're forty years old.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
I know you make good points.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
It's just it's not and it's not a lot or
less trying, I know. And it's not because you know,
you are less of a human being or it's not
like I need stability.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
Yeah, you paying for somebody else's dinners, trying to pay
for your own.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
You did that once already. You were the bread winner
in the last marriage. And I think it's time for think.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
I just want I need something different now.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Yeah, I hear you, all right, we will see you tomorrow.
We'll have another pair of offspring ticks. We've also got the
load for your dad. So all that's happening, bing bang,
Happy birthday, buddy, Thank you, We will see you tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Transportation terminated. You've been listening to Tanner, Drew and Laura's
Donkey Show, heard daily at one O five nine the
brew dot com. May God have mercy on all of
our souls.
Let me know when you're ready.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I bet that's a good start.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
This is Tanner, Drew and Laura's Donkey Show, Donkey.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Show, What's up?
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Yeah, with no kids, no kids sound effects. I just
go to whatever I see.
Speaker 5 (00:23):
That's not I don't like that.
Speaker 6 (00:24):
I like the spitball, you know, bringing in rando.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
Someone's getting burned alive.
Speaker 6 (00:35):
It does sound like that. I don't like now that
you mention it.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yeah, that's why I sounded. And I was taking a
poop yesterday.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
So many flaming hut cheetahs.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Laura has been like fascinated with the story about the
home of the Cheetoh or was it the Freedom.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
It's no, it's a it's like a it's like a
freedom lay manufacturing plant. I believe hold On le pulled
the story for you. But the home where where flaming
hot Cheetos were created.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I've heard her mentioning this like twenty seven times no more.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Well, Drew was going to talk about it in the
Big Story today.
Speaker 6 (01:11):
And then Joey Chestnut took over. Yeah, so I was
I had to pivot.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
So okay. So in Rancho Cucamonga, California, the birthplace of
flaming Hot Cheetahs has closed its doors after more than
fifty years. Wow, Freeto Lay has closed the entire plant,
cut hundreds of jobs, which is a bummer. But it
was like a cultural icon because this is the birthplace
of Flaming Hot Cheetos. They've been around since nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
But for me, I don't feel like I remember it
as far back as.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
That because I don't think it became like a cultural phenomenon.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
I feel like recently.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
I feel like recently the flaming Hot stuff took off
because I don't remember flaming Hot Cheetos growing.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Up, and I hadn't. I hadn't never had them until
just a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
And I love them. They're fantastic.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
They're really good.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Marcus, what were you going to say?
Speaker 5 (01:59):
I I.
Speaker 7 (02:01):
Kind of sad about this whole thing, But I'm not
really a big Flame and Hot Cheetos fan.
Speaker 8 (02:04):
Am I the only one?
Speaker 9 (02:05):
Like?
Speaker 7 (02:06):
I'll eat like a couple of them, like maybe two
or three, and I've had enough for the entire bag.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
I'll never go out of my way to buy Flame
and Hot Cheetahs. I mean they will still, they'll still
be produced. It's just this plant is shutting down.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
I'm only I mainly buy sun chips like a harvest
cheddar or you know some other guys.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
And if I'm gonna buy the Cheetos, I buy like
the baked regular one.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
But if I go in there, if I go in
into an a MPM and I'm baked out of my mind,
I might be getting a bag of flame and hot Cheetahs.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
That's not about. Next time I go to my plaid pantry,
instead of buying like some peatrings and sour patch kids,
I should just buy a bag of flame Hut.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
They're prety good instant I do love you.
Speaker 7 (02:44):
I'll tell you the ones you should try right now,
or the new the you know the Lays does the
do us a flavor thing? And they do like three
new ones. They're all dressed chips that they have out
right now? Are I mean maybe a leader in the clubhouse,
Like they might be my favorite lazed potato chip behind
the yellow bag originals.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
What is all dressed?
Speaker 9 (03:03):
Me?
Speaker 6 (03:03):
Is that like everything?
Speaker 8 (03:05):
Yeah, it's it's a Canadian chip.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
Like they're huge on all dressed chips, just like they're
huge on ketchup chips.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Oh, I was gonna say Is it the same thing
as kenup chips?
Speaker 7 (03:14):
No, No, it's it's got so on the back of
the bag it says it's savory like sour cream and onion,
it's sweet like barbecue, and it's tangy like salt and vinegar.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
That actually sounds delicious.
Speaker 8 (03:24):
Really good.
Speaker 7 (03:25):
It's like a tangy kind of vinegary barbecue chip. Is
the way I would put it. And dude, I'll eat
the whole Like Ashley had to tell me after I
opened them and how much I liked them, She's like, please,
don't eat the whole bag before I get to try them.
And it's taken everything I have in my fucking body
not to finish that bag in the last two days.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
Don't worry, Marcus. The serving size is thirteen chips. I'm
sure you stopped right there.
Speaker 7 (03:46):
Yeah, they are thirteen handfuls that I cram into my
mouth and turn into mashed potatos.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
Like they shouldn't even be able to present it that way, Like,
who in the history of chips is only eating thirteen
out of a family bag? Is going to put thirteen
chips in and call that satisfaction?
Speaker 5 (04:04):
But also, I feel like the only thing that but
that's that's how much they put in the bag. Now,
I feel like thirty chips is what they've dont the
rest just filled with air.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
That's fair.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
Yeah, thirty full chips. And then somebody kicks the bag
right before it goes on the trucks, so they all
turn into quarter sized chips, and then you just deal
with it.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
I ate some stale, flaming hot Cheetos once, and I
know they were they looked fine, and then I bit
into it and I feel like I can still taste it.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
And it's like they're like gummy or like they're.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Like like stick to your teeth.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
Yeah, yea, they don't have the pop, there's no crunch.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
I saw this video floating around on TikTok the other
day and it gave me a really good idea. So
there's this guy who, apparently, when he's bored, makes he
makes he has people make cameos for him. He'll just
pay them and have him say some crazy shit. Yeah,
and it's like it's it's just it's like his thing.
I was thinking, I gotta start doing this on the show,
you know, like get pay for somebody, some wash up
(05:00):
celebrity to do a cameo for us, but kind of
make him say some stump like stupid stuff. Yeah, uh,
this is he had. This guy had an old wrestler,
an old wrestler.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Do it Sometimes when I get bored, I buy cameos
and I just write the craziest prompt that I can
think of. This is one that I just sent to
Tito Santana, the WWE superstar. Hey, Tito, I went on
a date with my high school crush. Things were going
amazing until Indian food wrecked me and I legit shit myself.
He was weirdly sweet about it, though, But now what
(05:29):
do I bring it up or pretend it didn't happen? Help?
Speaker 9 (05:32):
This is w w E Hall of Famer Tito Santana
giving a shout out to Jimmy. Jimmy, you went out
with the girl that you had a big time crush on.
(05:52):
You had an amazing night.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
A hard time speaking, and tell you shit on yourself.
Speaker 9 (05:59):
Not good news, But forget about it. It happened, but
don't ever bring it up. And it never happened. I
hope you're still with your crush.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
There it is.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Wow, that's actually amazing.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
I gotta start doing that, man. I gotta I gotta
send some cameos. Are some of these people?
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Yeah, his ability to roll through sentences has got a
few too many chairs across the back of that.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
It looked like he was reading stuff too, and reading's
extra tough. These some of these people make so much money.
Like the guy who played Kevin on on The Office,
I think.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
He I think he does better than a lot of it.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
I think he was the number one for a while
because he's because I made a million dollars from cameo
in one year.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
I bought a cameo done by Oscar from the Office
for somebody Christmas, for somebody wants, and I think it
was like two hundred bucks. But his like if you
go back and watch the other videos that he's done
for other people, he kind of did it like there
was an outline for it. It's like he kind of
said the same thing every time, but then would squeeze
(07:05):
in like a little customized part. But it wasn't so,
I like, not very good.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I feel like that's one take for these people.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Yeah, I like, but I liked it. This w W
guy just like that's all he talked about, was this
dude shitting his pants.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Yeah, forget about it.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Never bring it up again.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Don't bring it up. Yeah, that's great. We got you
know what we got to bring back to is the
cameo game.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
Oh yeah, where they guess how much their cameras are worth.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Got a more expensive camera justin bieber or justin Timberlake,
something like that.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Well, you know what I mean. I'll just give an example.
Don't attack me, just write it down on the board,
lady cameo game.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Uh oh, this went viral to This is pretty funny,
this lady. You know, the protests are going crazy in
Los Angeles right now?
Speaker 6 (07:54):
Which one it's all of it?
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Well, this woman went viral for for want her outfit
and then what she was saying, She's got like a
leaf blower in her hand, and they asked her why
she's got the leaf blower in her hand and why
not to this?
Speaker 8 (08:11):
What's the wind blower for? Just by the dearness to
blow doesn't matter?
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Fuck if you have a bring it up.
Speaker 8 (08:20):
You could say something to Donald Trump right now what
he said.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
Drop you just sun my left knut looking goat my
f drawer.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
You're just mac a son get at the time of day,
I been just son of shine by make you look
like a lover.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Then she walked away. Wow, God, what did he call
leaf floor? Wind?
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Wind window?
Speaker 6 (08:41):
What do you do a wind blower? Talking? Have you
ever done an ounce of yard work?
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Bro? That was a woman And and once you look
at the video, the answer is no.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
Oh that is a woman. The left nut thing was
impressive though, Yeah, that's what I thought. It was hilarious.
That's the best lion of the week.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
You know, I like you. But blow the tear gas back.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Fuck these motherfuckers like she was just getting into.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Do you think that works? It's kind of like I
never would have thought of that.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
I bet it blows just like the stuff in your
like vicinity away, but it's not getting it all out there.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
Yeah you're not.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Actually, everybody, bring out your leaf blow dude.
Speaker 6 (09:16):
She held it up in the air like a sword. Yeah,
William Wall. With these electric ones, you guys could go
out for a good eleven minutes.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
And I have that Sam electric blower and it's fantastic.
Is it the de wal it's the it's the green one. Yeah, no, no, no,
it's not Ryobi.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
That's the blue Maybe is green Neon one?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
It's I think Reyobi's I thought I was blue.
Speaker 7 (09:40):
Is a green is like fluorescent green and yellow and black? Well, anyway,
I will take you right now. It's all depends on
the trade winds. They're in a coastal city. I'm in Eugene, Oregon,
and if I go out with that goddamn leaf blower
after three pm, everything that I blow ends up eighteen
feet behind me. So I would you know, you might
(10:00):
just be kind of screwing yourself, getting a little bit
more to your gas in your face if you're not careful.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
And that stuff is so strong.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
When we were having the protests in downtown Portland one night,
I went scooting down the waterfront and that courthouse is
what six blocks away. I could smell it and taste it,
and my eyes were getting itchy on the waterfront.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
And you think about how dissipated it is and it's
still hurting. That is powerful. So my guess is those
sleep blowers are not doing much as much.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
But yeah, you know whatever, I love that you see
these people, you know, they were they're like it's like
a bicycling helmet because that's all they got and then
they'll like strap like an old shitty vest to their
chest and just go out and the protest and the
brave heart of East La.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
But it's it's wild there right now. And anyway, I
thought that lady was funny.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
Yeah, she her passion is unrivaled.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
What else did we not discuss today? Guys? Did you
guys have a fun show today? I did? It was
a good show. On Tursday, Drew's Birthday.

I was like, true keep Oh yeah, No, there's no
time for any time for Drew. The kids are out
for summer. My my sex life is on hold. And
today's last day Yesterday, yes esday, So it's it's over.
It's today for beefly bad timing the big finish.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Do you get a blow out yesterday?
Speaker 6 (11:28):
No, Yesterday is the last day of school and they
got out at eleven. I was at work. Yeah, it's
too bad, and you know, my babysitter, my parents are
out of the country. You know, it's the thing.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
If it gets out at eleven am.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
What's a point one hundred to mark the day as
a day state funding things like that. They don't want
to stay in school, but if they get to eleven
o'clock on that day, we went one more day, which
fulfills the prophecy. You get all your money for next year,
which is always less than you need anyway, so their
hands are tied on it. Annoying for parents will never
(12:02):
pick them up at eleven all year.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Yeah, that day, I will say, though, like the last
day of school, that last half day was always one
of my favorite days. I just have like memories of
First of all, we didn't have ac in my school,
so I always remember like windows open, it was always
a little muggy inside. But I just remember sitting in
the choir room, all the chairs were up, sitting on
(12:24):
the floor with friends playing cards, and that's like all
we did all day.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
Anna go ahead.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
I feel like I missed out on that feeling because
I never had a day like that because starting when
I was in second grade, we never went to school
for a full day on Friday. Second grade, all the
way through, we were out at noon on Fridays because
of the distance that the sports teams had to travel
to get to their spots, they would miss a full
(12:52):
day Friday and they wouldn't get it counted. So as
long as we went till one minute past noon, the
state would count it as a full day on Friday,
and then those teams could could get on the bus
and travel for the rest of the day and actually
make it on time for like night basketball and football games.
I never had that last day feeling like it was
always just a Friday at noon, like we most of
(13:13):
us didn't even show up towards the end of it
because it was like there somebody will mark me present.
Speaker 8 (13:18):
Yeah, you know, and it.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
Was cool, but it also jaded me for Fridays for
the rest of my life. I never took a class
on Friday in college, and now I hate Fridays because
I have to work.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Yeah, any like this sucks?
Speaker 6 (13:29):
Yeah, kids, I mean it's the same thing. They mark
a full day every Thursday and the girls, instead of
two forty, they get out at two and it's like, Okay,
well it's only forty minutes, but it's forty minutes every
week all year, so you know, it's a luxury that
when we were in school, Rain or shine five days
a week unless it was a national holiday.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
My high school, really I really liked the time. So
when I went to Marshall, just like a normal day,
he got out of three or something like that. But
when I moved to Milwaukee and went to Milwaukee High School,
the times changed, you know for the school, and it
got out at two ten.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
And so did you start earlier?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Yeah, we started at seven twenty.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Yeah, we started at seven twenty, but I feel like
we got out at two forty.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
I think I got out at like two forty five.
Regular school started at eight. But they offered something in
my school called zero hour where you could opt and
I think it was only offered to like juniors and
seniors maybe where you could opt to go earlier and
then get out earlier in the day.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Oh wow.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
They changed also, Like when we were kids, everyone got
at high school, grade school, middle school all got out
at the same time, basically give or take a little
bit of time. But they realized how bad that was
if you had kids in different schools. So what happens
is the grade school in the high school. The high
school is half fun with cars. They get out at
the same time and then it's a whole nother hour
(14:47):
and twenty minutes until the middle school gets out. Those
kids go to school till four o'clock. I would be
that's crazy. I would have been in a lot of
trouble trying to keep it together till four when you're
in and you're high and you're a little dick.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Did you guys when you were in school have eight
days and B days?
Speaker 6 (15:04):
Yeah? No blue and white days because of the school colors,
but exact same thing.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Yeah, So days and B days were at my school.
So there were four classes a day hour and a
half each or something like that. Yeah, and so some
days you would have some fun classes and some days
you'd have shit classes. There was I think my senior year,
my entire year, the A days were like awful because
I had all the shit classes, and then B days
(15:28):
it was like pe and.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Drama and all the things I enjoyed to do.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
Where you get that study hall where you're clear to
just like do your thing.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Yeah, and you just go sleep in the library or whatever.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
I was so ahead on credits that by my senior
year I had like student aid in the library and
then a study hall and then like all these like
blowoff classes that I didn't have to do anything.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
And at my school, if you had them at the
end of the day. Now I had a full slate
because I needed to make up some credits. Same but
that last period they would actually call it early release
and they be like, well, that's stupid to keep you here, right,
And so if you didn't have the last one, you'd
just leave.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
And my friend, my friend Jake had one class on
on like an I think on B Day that was.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
Airly going yeah, And it's one of those deals where
I remember them leaving during that senior year time, and
that was where I was just like kicking myself for
all the classes I had needed to make up because
I was I'd used mine up freshman year.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
M hmm.
Speaker 7 (16:24):
I got so lucky with that because of our four
day or four and a half day school week. A
girl that was a senior when I was a junior
had her credits totally taken care of and so on
B Days she only took one class and it was
at eight in the morning and she was out. She
would work at a job like nine to the rest
of the day on B Days. Well, when she got
to the end of the year, they looked at her
(16:46):
attendants and they're like, you haven't. You haven't come to
school enough this year for us to graduate. You like,
this state doesn't because it's she would only go to
one class those days, so they wouldn't count them as
a day.
Speaker 8 (16:56):
It has to be back noon or else they don't
count it.
Speaker 7 (16:59):
And so she ended up like with like I think
two or three weeks left in the school year, she
was at school five days a week for the entire time,
just trying to make up time so that she could graduate.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
So what I did after I learned that that's so
unfair for dude.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
My bet days though, were just like you were talking about, Tanner.
I had study all in the morning, then I had pe,
then I had study hall, and then I had band.
And I'd been in the band for six years at
that point, so I just never went. It was the
the bat days were so good my senior year. I
miss those days now.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
Isn't it funny how the school is a robot though, Like,
and I get it. The funding they have to it's
on the state level. It comes down, it comes down
the hill. But you know, and where my kids go
to school, I know that the teachers at the ground
level care about these kids. I read the messages. It's incredible.
But I told Tanner and Laura and hear about this.
(17:52):
But one of the girls got sick and ended up
in the hospital where she had an infection in her leg,
and she was admitted. She was not at home. It
wasn't like her mom being a hover mom. She's in
the hospital to treat a pretty aggressive infection, missed a
bunch of school.
Speaker 8 (18:10):
Well.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
On the ninth or tenth day, the school informed her
that by state law, she was going to be removed
from the school on the thirteenth absence. Thirteen absences in
a row, and you don't go to the school.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
In But there's got to be like some sort of
like medical medical you know, like unless it's a medical reason, because.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
That seems unfair.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
It's ridiculous, you know, like, let's do it by a
case by case basis and not just well, this is
what the law says.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
The girl got sick and is in the fucking.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
Hospital, and the doctor's note should be good enough, but
the state automatically rejects her. So even when the principal,
it was brought to the principal's attention and the principle's like, hey,
I have zero power here. The state is just going
to flick her off the mountain what they ended up
doing because luckily it's you know, they understand what you're saying, Tanner,
(18:58):
that this is not fair. They held the spot for
they refuse to allow a new entry because normally, if
a spot opens up, somebody can lobby for it and
take it. But they were like, we are not going
to tell a little girl when she gets out of
the hospital that she doesn't go to school here anymore.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Is it just like thirteen days in a row, because
they've got to be in a row. So couldn't they
just like wheel her a little No, but like do
a little trick rou and just be like, okay, today
everyone is marking her present. Yeah, just to like start
the clock over again.
Speaker 6 (19:26):
And you would think so, but they are just such sticklers,
like when we've dealt with things like uh, school boarders
and class size is full. When you lobby that, hey
it's not fair, they don't hear and they don't want
to hear any of it. Yeah, it's like, sorry, the
rules are the rules. Like, this isn't the judicial system,
this is the education system, right, we should be rounding
the corners.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
It's amazing that in that situation, say, hey, could you
wake her up from their medically induced coma. She's got
a history test and we really need to mark.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
On it or else we need funding.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Sorry, we should.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
It should be a case by case ba not just
some blanket rule or a girl like that. An innocent
girl like that gets screwed. It's not fair Like it
goes in front of the superintendent.
Speaker 6 (20:07):
They look at it. Okay, that's that's fine. Void, They're fine.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Yeah, and let's just be over with it.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
Yeah, but no, we got to do the whole dog
and pony ridiculous dagging penny shit d penny. But she
got back into the school and everybody survived it in
the end.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Yeah, all right. A couple of things we didn't get
to on the show today.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
This is a new study led by Prime Rose Freestone.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
All right.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
It highlights the dents and diverse microbial population found in beards.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Oh, I don't want to hear about this.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
The microbial environment, fueled by factors like warmth and moisture,
can harbor bacteria, fung guy, and viruses. Concerns about beard
hygiene have existed for about fifty years, with studies showing
that facial hair can retain bacteria even after washing. Marcus,
how fix your beard right now?
Speaker 8 (20:58):
It's standard.
Speaker 7 (20:59):
I haven't been to the barber in a few actually,
it's been almost two months, so it is a little
bit longer than what normally is.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Marcus a little thin on the top, but boy, is
his beard nice and thick.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Usually how it goes. That's how it is with my
brother too. He's got he backs his head, he's got
no hair on top, and then he's got a big old,
thick bead.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
I feel like Marcus could have if he ever lived here,
he could be one of the great beards of Portland.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Yeah, I could see him being that guy who shaves
his head but has a big beard.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
Yeah he look violent. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Now, While some research suggests that beards may may increase
infection risk, other studies find no significant difference in bacterial
colonization between bearded and clean shaven individuals. Like us Okay,
experts recommend daily washing, moisturizing, and grooming to maintain the beard.
I washed it every day. You know, if I took
(21:47):
a shower anyway, i'd always and I didn't have a
very long one. Mine was very thin, and you know,
you could see skin and everything.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
It's like stars.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Yeah, but yeah, I'd still washed it because there were
still hair there, and I just thought the idea was
of not washing.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
I mean, you gotta wash your face, you know, so
that's a part of your face.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
Well I would treat it almost like my scalp even,
you know, and just like really get your fingers in there,
make sure you're not getting that.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
When my beard was thicker like Marcus's, I definitely did.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
That, yeah, which is smart.
Speaker 7 (22:15):
I mean I do it with Ashley's got this like
gentle facial cleanser, So I used to use when I
was poor. It would just be shampoo, like just bring
it on down to the chin. But now I've got
it because that always dried it out and made my
beard kind of stick out all scraggly.
Speaker 8 (22:30):
I didn't like it.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
But a nice, a nice facial cleanser, get your fingers
in there, really scratch it up, get it foamed up.
That's a daily thing for me in the shower. And
I mean my whole thing is I've always worried that
any girl that ever is around me is gonna smell
something that's weird.
Speaker 8 (22:46):
So I'd like, I couldn't.
Speaker 7 (22:47):
Kiss my wife if I didn't do that every day
because I'd just be worried about it. But really, dude,
you gotta I gotta go golfing and spend four hours
out in the sun and like the elements before I'll
even notice a week stink or anything out of my beard.
It's not really as a problem as you'd expect. I
guess maybe the guys that have like, you know, six
eight twelve inches hanging off their face, maybe they get
(23:09):
some stuff stuck in there.
Speaker 8 (23:10):
But I don't have that.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
I never had that problem either. Also, I'm you know,
I would clean it and comb it out.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
If it was.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
There's different levels of hygiene. You guys are on top
of it. Some dudes are like, it's just a beard
and when you think about it like that, you're gonna smell.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
But keep that in mind. Keep that in mind. Ladies.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
If if you if your man's has a beard and
it kind of stinks, it's because there's tons of fun
guys just don't another thing stuck.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
In I've never been into beard. It's like I much
prefer clean shaven or like, well, now I'm just dating
people exclusively with mustache, so you can do with stash.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Yeah, I mean those mustaches are so creepy.
Speaker 6 (23:47):
Would you prefer stash or no stash?
Speaker 5 (23:49):
I would prefer no stash, but I would prefer stash
over beard.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
It's written up to hug me every time I see you.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
It's not like he doesn't want to rub on your face.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
I can be friends with people with beard.
Speaker 6 (24:03):
Yeah, you're like, I.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Don't know, you're pretty mean to me when I had
a beard and you're soft and.
Speaker 6 (24:10):
Oh what Yeah, I don't know about that weirdest.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
I'm just dead. I'm just dead to it.
Speaker 8 (24:16):
She's a beardist, I'm telling a beardist.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Yeah, yeah, anti beardite exactly.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
This study shows how much hourly workers struggle financially. A
recent survey of about two thousand Americans, including one thousand
gen Z people in a thousand retail employees, found that
thirty nine percent would consider living paycheck to paycheck and
uh and an improvement over their current financial situation.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
Most people are only a couple of payments away from trouble.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
Yeah right, It's it's like it's just like the government.
I felt like, you know, when COVID happened. I was like,
why don't we have more of a cushion, But that's
that's why most of us are, you know, and we
only have like a paycheck or two and then we're
like done panic mode.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
Yeah. In the last couple of years, I really realized
that there is a much backbone behind just about everything,
including your eggs. I mean, it comes all the way
down to.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
That study revealed dire circumstances, with forty four percent having
overdrawn their bank accounts in the last month and thirty
eight percent having less than one thousand dollars in savings.
Over a third thirty four percent, rely on multiple jobs,
yet many have resorted to extreme measures like selling personal
items or dumpster diving to make ends meet. Man half
feel their financial health is out of their control, and
(25:32):
seventy percent believe on demand pay could improve their situation.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
I do feel like, and I know a lot of
people don't think the same way I do. But it's like,
if you're busting your ass and you're working a full
time job, you should be able to put a roof
over your head, you should be able to buy groceries.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
If you're working for hours forty hours away even if
you're making any job, you should any job.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
It could be McDonald's, it could be bagging groceries. Like
if you are doing what you're supposed to be doing,
which is being out there working hard, or even just
working like just just showing up punching a time card,
you should be able to support yourself and your family.
Speaker 6 (26:09):
This country is built on the idea that hard work
pays off, and now that has faded because of the
price of life. But it used to be in nineteen
fifty five. If you've said, Okay, i'm gonna get up
every day, I'm gonna grind. I'm gonna do forty hours
at this job, you would retire. Yeah, well you could.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Kids would go to school work at a grocery store.
And I'm saying, buy a house.
Speaker 6 (26:31):
That's just who I am. But I grind, don't. I
don't make excuses. I do forty plus. But now that's
just not good enough.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
And I think a lot of people like have this
mindset of like, well, you can't afford to live, you
must not be working hard enough. And for a lot
of people that's simply.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Not Some people are working too much and they're not
getting a chance to rest.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
Still, can't get ahead and it sucks.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
Like you go to the airport and you see some
of these people are doing these tough jobs, like the
janitorial or whatever, and it's like and they look dead
because they had to get up at three and they're
going to work until seven tonight and still probably have
two roommates. Right, it's to me, it's bong. Yeah, yeah,
but I don't know the answer or data.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Man, have you got roommates?
Speaker 5 (27:13):
That is actually true?
Speaker 6 (27:14):
So that mind fellas I know, And that's why she's
single in Portland in a place with the highest rent
in town.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
Oh my god, tell me about it. Yeah. But I mean, look,
if you're forty years old.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
I know you make good points.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
It's just it's not and it's not a lot or
less trying, I know. And it's not because you know,
you are less of a human being or it's not
like I need stability.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
Yeah, you paying for somebody else's dinners, trying to pay
for your own.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
You did that once already. You were the bread winner
in the last marriage. And I think it's time for think.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
I just want I need something different now.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Yeah, I hear you, all right, we will see you tomorrow.
We'll have another pair of offspring ticks. We've also got the
load for your dad. So all that's happening, bing bang,
Happy birthday, buddy, Thank you, We will see you tomorrow.
