Blaze Radio Network And now Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher So Family Dollar, you know the variety discount store recently have initiated
Starting point is 00:00:42 multiple recalls on products ranging from over-the-counter drugs to toothpaste sold at their regional chains in nearly two dozen states. Now they first issued the announcement
Starting point is 00:00:58 at the beginning of October, which was then sent out like four or five days later by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. And this was, of course, out of an abundance of caution. No one,
Starting point is 00:01:13 we haven't seen any complaints or heard any complaints. This is just completely for your safety. The recall is a wide range of items, including cold medicine, pain relievers,
Starting point is 00:01:28 mouthwash, moisturizers, vitamins, along with my favorite, and more. So the affected products were sold in 23 states from June 1st
Starting point is 00:01:42 through October 4th. And they apparently say the recall is being conducted because they were left in too warm a space and shouldn't have been shipped out to stores. Oh, okay. I'm sorry, did I say too warm of stuff? It could have been cold because they say
Starting point is 00:02:06 it was, they were stored outside of labeled temperature requirements. So then Family Dollar inadvertently shipped these products to some of the stores. So be on the lookout. Those of you go into the Family Dollar, you know where it's at in your neighborhoods, right down there to the left. And you drive by it every day and probably once. every month you've stopped in and say oh let's see what they've got well take it easy uh don't purchase um you know toothpaste don't purchase moisturizers mouthwash pain relievers vitamins and most importantly don't purchase and more welcome welcome to chewing the fat so i was looking at this uh story with the headline of how often Americans
Starting point is 00:03:01 really shower survey. And I was a little disconcerted actually. This is a new survey on hygiene habits. UGov asked 5,713 U.S. adults about their bathing habits.
Starting point is 00:03:18 Okay. So think about this. How often do you shower? Less than once a week? 1% of the people answered less than once a week. How about once a week? How about that? Two percent of the people only shower once a week. All right, what about once every six days? Isn't that within the week? One percent of
Starting point is 00:03:44 the people. How about once every five days? Two percent of the people. Every four days? Two percent of the people. So there are people walking around that have not showered. I promise you that. Six percent of the respondents said, uh, if we shower once every three days. Oh, okay. Uh,
Starting point is 00:04:05 how about once every two days? What do you say? 20% that's a big number. 20% of the people shower every two days. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:04:18 How about once a day? 51%. So almost half of the people you run into on a daily basis have not showered. Uh, That does not bode well. More than once a day.
Starting point is 00:04:33 11%. Well, that just depends on what you do. You may have a job where you shower, you shower before you go to work and after you go to work. You may have a job to where you shower just, you know, there's no need for you to shower until you come home from work. So you go to bed, clean, you get up, go to work, and then you shower when you go home to work.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Some places you've got to be clean going into work. You're supposed to be anyway. So you shower before you go to work. So twice a day, that's a tough one. That does happen from time to time, depending on what you're doing around the house, what you're doing at work, that's tough. So it's amazing to me that almost half of the people that we run into on a daily basis do not shower at least once a day.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Ooh, easy, easy, okay? Just easy is all I'm saying. I will say that no matter how many times you shower, it's best to shower with Quinn's goat soap. QP Goat Soap.com. I mean, most people buy soap from the store, and they don't even realize what is doing to their skin. Store-bought soap will get you clean,
Starting point is 00:05:46 but while doing it, it's also drying out your skin, and then, of course, you have to keep buying products like lotions and stuff that's made by the same company. Huh, amazing how that works. Soap doesn't do that when it's made the right way with goat's milk. That's what Quinn Pittman discovered when he first started learning about soap. And he's been making it the right way ever since. You want your skin to be clean, but also retain its moisture.
Starting point is 00:06:14 You need goat soap. And you'll want Quinn's goat soap. Quinn and his family, very proud of their product. And they want you to know about it. And good for Quinn for being such a young entrepreneur. or he's doing something most kids his age would not or maybe even couldn't do. And that's start a business. I've used the soap.
Starting point is 00:06:35 I love it. You should check it out. Go to QPgoatsoap.com. QPgoatsoap.com. I was thinking about all the times, you know, even if you, you know, shower once a week, less than once a week, every day. No matter how many times you shower, twice a day, three times a day, you need Quinn's. goat soap. Hello. QPgoatsoap.com and you may as well get yourself a deal.

Don't forget about the promo code Jeffie and save a little money too. And then that got me thinking about the Walking Dead. how many, I mean, they're showering a lot less. I don't know if you know. It's got to be some serious funk going out
Starting point is 00:07:36 in the Walking Dead. No doubt about it. We just got done with the final episode, the season finale of the Walking Dead Daryl Dixon last night. It was really good. For those of you listening live, today is the 16th of October.
Starting point is 00:07:51 The new Talking Walking Dead is up. If you are a subscriber to the show, you saw it post earlier today. day. Awesome. The show was so good. And so many beautiful places in France on the show. I mean, they're in Paris. We did get to see the catacombs, and we
Starting point is 00:08:06 see the Eiffel Tower, and then they were also at the Montemoisre Abbey, which is, was a Benedicting monastery for a while. For a while. You know, back in I don't know, 949 AD.
Starting point is 00:08:24 It's the oldest part. It's just beautiful. And then they, in the last episode, was it this episode the first time we saw? Yeah, I think it was. We saw the Mont Saint Michael in Normandy, which is gorgeous. And it's on the coastline.
Starting point is 00:08:46 And it can only be accessed at low tide. It is beautiful. It became a fortress. It was unpenetrated for the entirety of the hundred years war between England and France. Two major sieges. Nope. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Nothing about it. King Louis, the ninth, I think, wanted to turn the island into the main chapel for the order. And then he said, now you know we'll make it a prison. Ah, nobody can get there. We'll make it a prison. So now it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. And it has a population of 29 people. So I don't know how they got to go ahead.
Starting point is 00:09:27 had for talking for uh walking dead darrell dixon to film there but it is beautiful it's awesome oh do you mean those shots when they were inside maybe they weren't actually inside maybe it was just filmed from the outside yeah that's possible that's very possible but it is uh what a what a cool thing so if you haven't seen darrell dixon the walking dead yet um well for sure listen to talking walking dead Hello with Jason Butchell and my son Maximus and myself And we'll walk you through those episodes But some beautiful footage from France During the six episodes season one
Starting point is 00:10:03 Of the Walking Dead, Daryl Dixon All right, let's go to the break room I need something cold to drink desperately So you know who I'm getting kind of tired of Taylor Swift That's all I think that's great She's the new
Starting point is 00:10:26 Queen of the world. I got it. But she's definitely doing what she's supposed to do because she's plastered everywhere. She showed up at the award. She showed up on Saturday Night Live. Cal Travis was there. And then this was her big weekend for the Ares Tour movie. And the reports were, it's going to be $95, $97 million.
Starting point is 00:10:51 They were saying, maybe not so fast. Only $94 million. I spit on $94 million. Now overall, globally, you're looking at $126, $130 million. She was already, the pre-sales were already over $100 million. So it became the highest gross concert film in domestic box office history, surpassing the entire $73 million run of Justin Bieber, never say never in 2011.
Starting point is 00:11:21 And depending on the final weekend tally, it's potential to set an October box office benchmark, which is currently held by 2019's Joker with $96 million. Oh, she'll beat that already. She's already there. She's going to beat that. I was really surprised that there really wasn't any promotion for the movie. She just announced it on social media.
Starting point is 00:11:46 She's only got 350 million followers. So, you know, when she posts something, A few people see it. She's almost, you know what, I'm almost there. I'm not quite up to 350 million followers. So if you could follow me on X at Jeffrey JFR, Instagram, and Facebook is Jeff Fisher Radio. My Instagram is just about it at Taylor's level. I'm just getting there.
Starting point is 00:12:11 I'm just getting there. So follow me, Jeff Fisher Radio on Instagram. You can follow me on my YouTube channel, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. You can always email the show Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. And you can always order a cameo from me at Jeffrey JFR. That's not free. But, you know, you just tell, type in what you want. Happy, glad, sad, mad, mean.
Starting point is 00:12:34 And then Cameo sends me a message. Like the good little hooker I am, I do it. So thank you for that at Jeffrey JFR on Cameo. So apparently people, I should say people, parents in Florida. Well, they're people too, Jeff. No, I know. So apparently parents in Florida are a little upset at a teacher, a teacher that was teaching a class at the Academy of Innovative Education in Miami Springs.
Starting point is 00:13:06 I guess the teacher wanted a day off, so we show the class a movie. In my history, whenever a teacher needed some time off to go outside and, you know, catch a butt or hook up with the social studies teacher or whatever or just sit in the back no no you know head down to the janitor's room and uh yeah uh i got the kids watching a movie oh i want to come down here and take a couple hits on the old the old bonkster before i go back for the class and what do you got him watching well i turned down a movie uh winnie the poo
Starting point is 00:13:55 honey and blood should be good. It's fine for those fourth graders. Don't worry about it. Wait, what? Yeah, yeah. I put it on Winnie the Pooh. Is that the slasher movie? Where Winnie the Pooh character turns into a murderous savage?
Starting point is 00:14:10 That one? Yeah, they're fine. They're fine. I'll get back to them in just a second. Let me have another hit of that. It should be, they're fine. They're fine. I've been gone long enough.
Starting point is 00:14:29 I should probably get back to class. About 30 minutes, I'll check it out. The kids were like, hey, what are we watching this for? It ran for like 30 minutes. Now, I have not seen honey and blood. So I don't know what happens in the first 30 minutes. I'm guessing it isn't a love story. I'm guessing the movie doesn't start with a love story, but I don't know.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Apparently, some of the kids said, hey, can you shut that off? We don't really want to watch it. I mean, it's about the character who turns into a monster and Christopher Robin goes off to college. I mean, it's just a fun adult movie spin on Winnie the Pooh, right? And he becomes a serial killer monster. You want the fourth graders to see that?
Starting point is 00:15:22 I don't think so. I don't think so. And plus, after that happened, you know, that the principal is like, wait, what, you weren't here to a view of the movie? You didn't see what was happening? I had to go down to the janitor's room and just check with the janitor, you know, because it had some cleaning to do. And it took longer than I expected.
Starting point is 00:15:54 You know what I'm saying? Parents are a little upset as well. I mean, fourth graders watching Winnie the Pooh, honey and blood. So, man, how's that homeschooling sound now, huh? I know. I know. In fourth grade, though. I'm thinking in fourth grade, I was, could I have,
Starting point is 00:16:16 fourth grade, that I've handled Winnie the Pooh, honey and blood. Yeah, I guess I could have. I probably would have been one of the kids in the back going, she's down in the janitor's room smoking dope. Just let it roll. You don't like it, go out in the hallway. Because I probably could have put up. with it. But a lot of parents
Starting point is 00:16:37 have an issue. Damn those parents. You see where I finally, I guess we finally get the news that Sir Michael Cain is retiring from acting. He's 90 now. I feel like we talked about him retiring before. He did
Starting point is 00:16:53 an interview where he said he was thinking about retiring, right? But he was waiting for this latest film that just came out the Great Escapeer. And so he was doing an interview on BBC Radio 4's Today
Starting point is 00:17:09 show, which, man, I love the BBC Radio 4's today show. And he was on there and he was talking to him and he said, I figured I've had a picture where I've played the lead and it's got incredible reviews.
Starting point is 00:17:25 The only parts I'm likely to get now are old men. Yeah, I don't know, Michael. I'm sorry, Sir Michael. You're 90. So, and I thought, well, I might as well leave with all of this. What have I got to do to beat this? So he's confirmed that,
Starting point is 00:17:41 you know what? I keep telling people I'm going to retire. Well, I am now. So no more Michael Cain. We're done with him. I love Michael. I love a lot of his work, man. He's awesome.
Starting point is 00:17:53 He's made a lot of money. He's been in all kinds of parts that are just great. And so go ahead, Michael. Take a break. You're 90. Stop working. I mean, he picks a, chooses what he wants anyway.
Starting point is 00:18:07 He does not like Michael goes, you know, I really want that part. If he wanted a part, they're going to give it to him unless he's not, I mean, he's not he's not playing the young leading man now. But if there's a movie
Starting point is 00:18:23 role that they could make, he sees a movie and he goes, you know, I think I could play that part. Turn it into this. No, no, no, no. Stop it. Michael is the love interest of the 90-year-old man. Hey. Michael's not doing nursing home business.
Starting point is 00:18:47 He's way beyond that. That's sad. Did you even think to put that in for Michael? Because it's just sad. Although, now I want to see Michael Kane. Nursing home business. Oh, yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:19:05 Let me slide this wheelchair on over here. No. Is that a cane or are you just happy to see me? Oh, yeah. All right, stop. No, that's just stop it. That's not even funny. I'm sorry, Sir Michael.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Sorry. Take the part, though. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Who died today?
Starting point is 00:19:59 Who died today? Suzanne Summers has died today at the age of 76. Suzanne Summers, you remember her from Three's company and dead at the age of 76. It says in this article that she's best known for roles in TV. three's company and she's the sheriff. I don't even remember she's the sheriff, but then as I'm thinking about it, I guess I kind of do.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Anyway, she passed away. She has survived breast cancer for over 23 years. Credible. But it finally, I guess, caught up to her. Although, I mean, you keep looking at me like, I think that's what it is. I don't know. It doesn't say, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Her birthday was today. She was supposed to be seven. 77 today. And so she was ready to have a big birthday party. And no. Now we're having a birthday funeral. Very sad. So Suzanne Summers dead at the age of 76.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Then who died today again? Piper Lorry. Piper Lorry. What do you say to yourself? Piper Lorry. When you see the picture, you'll go, oh yeah. Piper Lorry.
Starting point is 00:21:17 She was three-time Oscar-nominated. Barbara Laura, she was 91. I don't know if it was that or not. I don't know. It doesn't say it just says she was one of the great talents of our time and that she was 91. So she, you know, she retired back in the 60s, I think, or somewhere in there, 50, 60s, to raise a family, but then decided to come back in the 70s, did Carrie, and she did a couple
Starting point is 00:21:47 other parts that, you know, were huge roles for her. Then she played Frazier's mom in Frazier back in 99, which I believe she won an Emmy nomination. I don't know that she actually won the award then. I was reading about when she got her start. She was born in Detroit, Michigan back in 1932. And she was, for some reason, it doesn't say why she was in a high school in Los Angeles. But at the age of 17, Universal said, yep, we like you. and we'll pay you $250 a week.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Then for the next seven years, she started earning $1,750 a week working for the studios. You know how much? $1,700 of $50 were in 1939? That's a lot of money. She was living like a queen.
Starting point is 00:22:36 She made her debut as Ronald Reagan's daughter in the 1950 film, Louisa, and then went on to star in a series of undistinguished comedies and musicals. Yeah, she just did what the, you know, what the studio wanted. She worked with Rock Hudson and Tony Curtis and, you know, a bunch of films. So she's in all those early 50s film because she was working from the studio.
Starting point is 00:23:02 Yep, you're doing that. That's what you're doing. We're paying you $1,700 a week. You go do that. Learn your lines. Don't start eating too much food. You're looking a little pudgy. Okay, why don't you stay away from the cafeteria?
Starting point is 00:23:14 Okay. It's tough work. So maybe that's when she said, you know what? I want to raise a family and I don't want to have to deal with these people. And that's exactly what happened. Piper Lorry, dead at the age of 91.
Starting point is 00:23:29 Then we have one more. Who died today? Who died today? Andriano, a former victim of Jeffrey Epstein, was planning to start a new life in North Carolina with her husband, husband and her children. However, she was found unresponsive in a hotel room in
Starting point is 00:23:50 West Palm Beach, Florida. The official cause of death? Accidental overdose. So, back off me. Okay, it had nothing to do with that. And it probably didn't have anything to do with Epstein, although that's why she was doing drugs is because she was so tormented from Jeffrey Epstein. Okay. All right. Sure. You got me.
Starting point is 00:24:14 No problem. I know she testified against Jelaine. Maxwell is still in prison. And she, you know, obviously was a victim of Jeffrey Epstein. Her mom said that no one is giving her answers. Well, yeah, her death is being ruled an accidental overdose. There's your answer, mom. So, Adriano, dead at the age of 36 in her hotel room.
Starting point is 00:24:44 Rest in peace. So a Copa Airlines flight, and I didn't know there was a Copa Airlines, but there is. I was headed to Tampa out of Panama City on Friday. And it turned back because the cabin crew was alerted to a suspected bomb on the plane.
Starting point is 00:25:08 That's always scary. Seriously, if you're on a plane, you don't want to, I mean, that's scary. So they turned around, and they went back to Panama. They landed the plane and they got everyone off the plane and then they had to check the plane for the bomb. They said the bomb is right there in the bathroom and they opened it up and it was just an adult disposable diaper.
Starting point is 00:25:36 What are we doing? You know how pissed I'd be if I was on that flight? Come on now. No one. No one said let me check we just went with it's a bomb and we're going to turn this whole
Starting point is 00:25:51 thing around and get everybody off for everyone's safety. No one said let me take a peek and not one person let me take a peek because I'm guessing that maybe somebody or at least I would hope
Starting point is 00:26:06 somebody would have taken a peek and said I don't think that looks like a bomb kind of looks like a diaper There was due to feces thrown all over the walls, the floor, the ceiling, and it stunk so bad. I don't think it was that. I don't think it was that. Although, I don't know. They don't say that.
Starting point is 00:26:27 It could have been. Could have been all over the bathroom. But we just know that there was a diaper in the plate. Come on. Come on. Come on now. We have a little common sense. Nobody checked that out back there.
Starting point is 00:26:42 It's actually a bomb. We're going to turn this thing around. Anybody check it out? He didn't get it. out and say let me check this thing out nothing we just heard that it was a bomb and we're going to turn it around okay well thankfully everyone is okay and we you know we got back to panama we everybody got off the plane and we hoof whew it's not a bomb and we can load our fat asses back on the plane and get ourselves back to tampa it was just amazing to me that uh that would actually
Starting point is 00:27:10 take place but that's the world we live in isn't it Yes. Yes, it is. Good news, too, from what we talked about last week, the Kaiser Permanente health care workers up in New York, the 75,000 health care workers that walked off the job, they always make a big deal, excluding doctors. Yeah, we got it. Okay. They walked off the job for three days.
Starting point is 00:27:38 And apparently they've reached a deal. They got a new deal. The tentative labor agreement comes in. The walk-off actually. worked. Now they didn't cite any of the terms of the new deal. I mean, they were seeking, obviously,
Starting point is 00:27:53 higher pay and increased hiring, of course, and always add more. But, so we don't know what the deal was, but apparently, they've reached a tentative agreement. Now, and that could be Kaiser just going, yeah, just tell them, we'll get them what they're
Starting point is 00:28:09 want. Get them back to work. Once they get back to work, we'll be fine. We can screw them again. So maybe that's very possible. That's very possible that's happened. But UAW is still on strike. They're adding people to their picket lines. Some Walgreens pharmacy employees walked off the job. We talked about that last week. I was at a drive-thru window the other day and I asked the guy, he had the phone, a little phone handle and talking to me on the window. I said, okay, it's just you and me now. So are you all for the walkouts or everything that's going on with the Walgreens? And none of the walkouts happened here in
Starting point is 00:28:42 Texas. And he was like, yeah, no. So, we'll see. We'll see what happens. And then the actors are still on strike. They had a deal that apparently the studios have walked away from the table again.
Starting point is 00:28:59 So I guess we don't have to worry about Netflix raising their prices because Netflix said they weren't going to raise their prices, or at least it was reported that they weren't going to raise their prices until the actor strike was over. So we have that. going for us. Good news. And Rite Aid I see filed for bankruptcy.
Starting point is 00:29:16 It's about time. I mean, they've been struggling forever, especially since they got robbed on the opioid epidemic lawsuits, just completely agonizing. And we don't have to get into that. But they have more than 2,000 locations. They filed
Starting point is 00:29:34 for Chapter 11. They are looking for to smaller. They're smaller than CBS and Walgreen. and now you have Amazon and Walmart and they've struggled to keep up sales so they're going to restructure and close
Starting point is 00:29:50 according to this story several stores and they're installing a new top executive so they're bringing somebody in new and they're going to close a bunch of stores I'm sorry several and then we'll see if they could make it work again who knows good luck to write aid
Starting point is 00:30:07 I'm sorry that you had to go through the opioid lawsuits because That is agonizing. But good luck. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything. So no, you can't get a nice rank on Uber Eats.

Starting point is 00:32:01 I saw an overwhelming amount of stories talking about how good the ratings were for the WNBA. No? You know, they are actually comparing it to themselves. So they're doing better than what they were in the past. That doesn't necessarily make them good.
Starting point is 00:32:21 And then we have the Major League Baseball. I mean, we're coming down to the wire in Major League Baseball. hockey season started. Hockey season is going to go until, I don't know, 10 months from now, and it's never ending. But we have baseball down to the wire.

Starting point is 00:33:04 And so good luck to all involved I thought I told you the aces were going to win In WNBA And they lost yesterday And they should have won They should have swept the series So now we got to wait until
Starting point is 00:33:18 Wednesday For them to go back to Vegas And they'll win at home Maybe that's why they lost So they could win it at home I don't know, but they should have already won. What are you doing, Aces? What's happening?
Starting point is 00:33:31 What's going on? So, let's pick up the pace. I absolutely have not watched one second. Now one second. That one. I thought about it. You know, last week I thought, oh, it's on Sunday. I can flip over and catch a little bit of it so I can honestly say I watch some of it.
Starting point is 00:33:52 Nah, football's on. I'm not switching channels. What do we talk? If I switch channels, I'm going to another football game. Not going to the WNBA. Not going to happen. Baseball, though. Do they play tonight
Starting point is 00:34:03 up against Monday night football with the Dallas Cowboys? And you got two Texas teams. Texas is on fire. You got the Rangers and the Astros. And you got the Dallas Cowboys playing tonight. Holy cow.
Starting point is 00:34:17 Which one do you choose if you're in Texas? That's why you have more than one screen. Okay. And I don't want to hear the TV guide version of are the Rangers and the Astros play in the afternoon and then the diamond backs and the Phillies play in the evening and they'll be competing for viewership against the Monday night football game so you don't have to worry if you're in Texas if you could still
Starting point is 00:34:42 you could still catch both games it's fine. Spare me okay spare me so I was reading a new study survey from a place called owl labs. And Al-Labs has been around for, I don't know, half a dozen years, seven years or whatever. And they did this study to find out how
Starting point is 00:35:05 employees feel about employers. And, you know, one of the things that they found that people like to be loyal to their companies when they have loyalty back. Duh. We talk about that all the time. Everyone
Starting point is 00:35:21 wants loyalty. But to get loyalty, you have to give it. And so they did this study about types of work that employees want or expect from their employees. And there's 15 different questions here. Sixty-nine percent of the respondents believe that their company is requiring them to work from the office because of traditional work expectations. I hate those. Man, do I hate those traditional work expectations?
Starting point is 00:35:53 23% of employees changed companies in 2023, and this was more common among full-time office workers, 26% than hybrid remote workers. Okay. One in three workers spend 31 to 45 minutes commuting one way. I mean, welcome. That's living in metroplexes around the country now. Around the world, for that matter.
Starting point is 00:36:18 Almost half, 46% of workers are polyworking with a side-house. or additional job and to further 36% plan on starting one in the future. Okay, so let's pause for one moment, shall we? 46% of the workers say they are already polyworking. 36%, which would get you to 82% plan on starting one. So 36% plan on starting one. So you get to 82% polyworking. Okay.
Starting point is 00:36:52 That's called by. I don't know if you know that. That's why people are doing that. It's just, I don't understand that they can't get that. This is why it's happening. One in four workers would be willing to sacrifice 15% of their annual salary for flexible working hours. Okay. Seems a little strange to me.
Starting point is 00:37:15 I mean, you know the job going in, right? So you know that's what you have to do to earn the money. Okay. more than 58% of hybrid employees they call this coffee badge also known as showing face at the office and then leaving oh
Starting point is 00:37:34 that's awesome how you doing? How are you doing? I'm out. Have a nice day. Yeah, that's a good move. 56% of workers said that their level of work related stress has increased since last year okay 94% of workers say that they could be convinced
Starting point is 00:37:56 to come to the office they could be convinced to come to the office okay so if you're a remote worker here's a convincing way to get you come to the office if you don't you're fired
Starting point is 00:38:09 that's I mean I know those are traditional work expectations wow okay if you if no longer able to work remotely and remote workers would expect a pay increase to make up for additional costs. Yeah, I mean, it's expensive to drive back and forth to work or have transportation back and forth to work. No question.
Starting point is 00:38:33 However, that's the deal you signed up for. I know that Bidenomics, and I'm with you 100%, believe me, you have no idea how I'm on your side on this. But that's the deal you signed up for. It's tough to make that. 68% of managers believe that their hybrid remote working employees are missing out on impromptu or formal or informal feedback. Well, yeah, but they're also maybe doing a little bit more work than the rest of them. You know, 80% of workers experience lost time due to technical difficulties during online or hybrid meetings.
Starting point is 00:39:15 Do they, do they though? do the you're breaking up I can't oh damn oh no I can't sorry no I got a pooh man I wish I was there sorry that's why I said in the beginning of the pandemic
Starting point is 00:39:29 three years ago now right three holy cow I told everyone you should have followed my plan you get yourself a cut out of you get yourself a cut out of you and that's what you put in front of your camera you can do anything you want
Starting point is 00:39:46 behind that cutout. But as soon as you show up for the meeting, hey, Bill's here. Yep, I'm here, moving back and forth a couple times, and you're good to go. We wouldn't have any problems of people diddling with themselves on camera. I'll tell you that,
Starting point is 00:40:00 because you can do anything you want. You got something in front of the camera. Anyway. Anyway, it's not like Joe Biden. 80% of workers, 44% of workers said, janitor of AI will help them do their job faster and more effectively
Starting point is 00:40:14 in the next five years. Shut up. Okay, stop speaking, 44% of the workers. 64% of respondents feel that their company uses too many communication platforms. You didn't get my text, you didn't get my email, you didn't get my chat, you didn't get my, my LinkedIn notice,
Starting point is 00:40:33 you didn't get my, I mean, it's unbelievable. That's absolutely right. All right, that's just a funny owl labs perspective of people working. I'll leave you with a joke of the day and we'll get the heck out of here, all right? And let's just remember, it's a joke of the day, okay? It's just a joke of the day.
Starting point is 00:40:52 A woman walked into the kitchen to find her husband stalking around with a fly swatter. We've all been there. And she asked, what are you doing? The hunting flies. And have you killed any? Yep. Three males, two females. How could you tell them apart?
