Hello , good morning , welcome everyone .
Grand day and good morning all . How is the world treating you today ?
It's Friday and it's bonus content .
That's right . Bonus content . You didn't expect to hear my voice this morning , did you ? Or , if you listen regularly , you probably did , because we did attempt a little bonus content .
We did .
So here we are , bonus of the day Ding , ding , ding , ding , ding , ding , ding . What's on your mind ?
Well , I'm still on a high from Trump winning . Not only did he win , but the people have spoken .
Yes .
And it makes me think that maybe the crazies are just a 1% , a half a percent now .
I've been trying to tell you for a while that there are good people out there .
I know .
And that there are more good people out there than there are the crazies . It doesn't seem that way because they yell and scream in the top of their lungs . But I think people came out of the woodwork and said you know what ? This is not right , the way this is going . So I have faith in America .
Yes , and you know , a year or so ago people kept saying about the trans ideology . Anyway , People would say , well , it's just a half a percent , it's just one percent , but to me it seemed like a whole lot more .
That's exactly right .
Because they elected the first trans . I'm sorry , let me rephrase that . They elected Delaware , the first man wearing a dress into Congress .
That's unbelievable .
McBride is his last name . I'm not going to say what he goes by his first name .
I'm not going there . What he goes by his first name , I'm not going there .
It's going to be interesting , it'll be interesting to see if Marjorie Taylor Greene ever runs into him in the bathroom .
Yeah , if he still has balls , he won't have it after them . Think about it , those things will get ripped off . All right god bless him .
God bless him what do you have on your mind this morning , dear ?
automation automation automation okay , that's what I have on my mind all right , do tell you know I sit on a fence because of this , because of experiences . But you know , as we grow older we have less patience for certain things and automation for telephoning and calling people and getting things done is just . Sometimes it's just .
You know , it's a crawl , especially when you know , in business , when you've got a problem you have to call a company and you get nothing . But you know , well , you know , press one , press two , press three .
None of the options are good , so you have to press another one and then it says you know , you , you're 17th in line , the wait time is approximately an hour . You know , and you've got 16 customers in front of you and you're trying to take .
You're 17th in line , the wait time is approximately an hour and you've got 16 customers in front of you and you're trying to take . You know , and it's just , it doesn't work and the personal contact with companies and all that stuff is just so far gone . It drives me crazy .
You know , I'm going through something with one of my doctors right now where you have the options , you call and you can never talk to anybody . You have to leave messages . Occasionally they'll call you back and say Dr Scott , you better call me back . You know you never get to say anything .
You know it's like this is the fourth time y'all have said this or anything like that . You don't get to say anything like that , and that just drives me crazy that we can no longer talk to anybody because they say that this is more efficient . Efficient for who ? That's what gets me . Who's it efficient for ?
I will say there is a company that I'm dealing with . It's a pharmacy online that my doctors prescribed a medication for that's more expensive this way and they recommended to do it that way and it was funny . So I do have a little bit of faith in it .
It was funny because the nurse practitioner prescribed this particular medication and before I was out the door , the company was texting me saying you know , we're going to be in contact with you shortly . I got home , they were in contact with me . I was like okay , and you know , I sat down and I'm thinking and I had told this to my nurse practitioner .
I said , oh God , that means I got to go online and do all this crap , blah , blah , blah . Anyway , I get another email that says you know , here you go , let's go put your information in . Blah , blah , blah , blah done . I'm like , okay , fine . And then four minutes later I got , you know , your shipments in the mail . I'm like what you know ?
And then the next day it was there . I'm like , holy hell , that was easy . And of course , this week I started worrying about it . I was like , okay , I'm supposed to be due the next . But then , oh , okay , your prescription's ready , just sign in . Okay , they didn't have to sign in or anything , just done .
And okay , they have to sign in or anything , just done . And you know they said , all right , it'll be here between then . And that time we're like , oh hell , we're going out of town . We can't do that next thing . I know it was there on time early , like well , what the hell . So in that case it worked .
So I sit on the fence to is this a good thing or is this a bad thing ?
I still think it's a bad thing I know you were proud of our son the other day because I was doing a group text with the kids , telling them something . I forget what it was about and he , instead of texting me back , he called me .
He called , he said I just wanted to call because it would be easier for me to call and tell you than to text all this out .
Absolutely . I've been a fan . You know I get that I get so frustrated . It's like 74 questions and I've got to start trying to text this , and I do . I pick up the phone and say I'm not texting you all this crap .
I'll talk and we'll talk about it real quick , we'll get everything out and we'll get done and we'll be done with it , instead of sitting there texting back and forth because it's so impersonal . And you know , especially when text you text somebody , they say well , what did you mean by that ? It's like you had an attitude texting that .
Yeah , I texted , I just it's words on a phone . What do you mean ? Added here . Let me tell you attitude , some bitch , you know that's attitude , but just just , hi , how are you ? That's not attitude . Anyway , yeah , I like personal contact better . Okay , anything , anything to say about that ?
no , I don't have anything to say about that agree disagree I do get a little anxious , though , when I have to do stuff like that too and somebody tells me you're gonna have to go to this website , go to this link . They'll text you a link and I just automatically I'm like automatic dread sets in .
Me too . Me too , you know . Let me talk to somebody .
Remember the good old days when they would just actually write a prescription on a pad . You would take it to the store and they would fill it yeah .
And nowadays you know what happened with that People stealing and writing their own prescriptions out , people , they're the worst .
Let's talk real quick about Susie Wiles .
Isn't that awesome .
Ice Maiden or Ice Baby those are her nicknames .
Yes , that is phenomenally great . I love it .
And I found out her father was Pat Summerall .
Yeah , yes , if you know Pat Summerall's history , what a man I mean overcoming , being the athlete that he was , overcoming the problems he overcame , and just being a great guy and a super personality . And apparently he raised a hell of a daughter too . So , yeah , if you don't know who Susie Wiles is , go check her out .
Yeah , go look her up , Google her , read about her . She's been involved with Trump for a while now and was in charge of DeSantis governorship Florida thing too . Trump's put her in charge of that before all this started happening , but she worked with DeSantis in Florida too .
I can't remember the name of the movie , but it was one of the Fonda girls , not the Fonda family , but what was her name ? Anyway , the movie had where she was ticked up off the streets and turned into an assassin and they had a cleaner that would come in . If something happened bad at a site , they had a cleaner that would come in .
If you know a site , something happened bad at a site , they'd have a cleaner that would come in and clean up . So you couldn't . So there wasn't any trace of anything that was going on . You couldn't tell there was a crime that was committed or her body was killed or something you know . The cleaner would come in and take care of it .
Well , you know , this hire to me is the first step of our bureaucracy getting cleaned . Here comes Ice and she's going to come in and she's got her suitcase with the Clorox and everything .
She has her list .
She's going in and going . You know she's cleaning .
She also has her list of people .
I think it's going to be . I get that picture . I can't remember the name of that movie . It was pretty good but Was it Bridget Fonda ? Bridget Fonda . Yeah , bridget Fonda .
Yeah , and that was , it was a good movie , but anyway , and you know , at the end of the movie she walks off into the fog and the guy who's her handler , you know , just lets her go when they're not supposed to let them go . They're not supposed to sneak away .
I don't remember a movie like that . I don't think I've ever All right .
That's the first time I ever heard the name Nina Simone the singer . Oh okay , why Was it in the movie or something yeah she loved that , she loved her , she loved the artist this does sound vaguely familiar she loved the artist and she just she loved the music okay , the cleaner is coming in . Yeah , her name is wiles all right yeah can't wait can't wait .
All right , let's move on . Okay , to a new thing that I'm doing on the podcast . Every Friday I'm doing a Yo Carol . Yo Carol and it's a play on Dear Abby , yo Carol , so I want people to write in and it could be totally fictional , made-up stuff if you want . It doesn't have to be real-life things . Please make it Nothing like penthouse form .
No , no , I won't read that .
I'll read it privately .
You won't believe what happened to me today , but I just wanted to keep it light and fun and stuff . All right , here we go . I have one .
Here we go , ready , I'm ready .
Yo Carol , I'm a 58-year-old man with a wife and three kids . I like to wear secret deodorant which is made for women . Does this mean I'm gay or will be perceived as being gay ? Should I bite the bullet and go back to brute ? Please advise , thanks , likes to smell pretty from Pittsburgh , oh boy . I'm going to answer this . This is Yo , carol .
Then you can say something Yo , okay , well , dear , likes to smell pretty from Pittsburgh . I do have something to say about this . No , you are absolutely not gay , nor will you be perceived as being gay . I like the smell of all deodorants . I don't care if it's a manly smell or a girly smell , and I'm going to tell you the truth .
I used to wear men's deodorant all the time because I liked the way it smelled , better than the girly deodorant . Now I have gone back to secret since then , but on occasion I will wear the gents deodorant because I just like that smell . I like smelling him when he wears it . I love it . So I like to wear it myself .
So I understand why you want to change it up every once in a while . There's nothing wrong with that . It smells good . Smell it , I mean , wear it . What do you think , the gent ? Would you wear a woman's ?
deodorant . Personally , I say , if you want to wear it , you know , wear it .
But in my experience I've really never smelled people's underarms , so I don't know the difference if they're wearing a floral-scented underarm deodorant or a manly , I'll call it scented deodorant or a manly , I'll call it scented deodorant , because I don't think I've ever smelled the deodorant smell that somebody is wearing . So if you want to wear it , go for it .
If it makes you feel springtime fresh and energetic , then then you know , have at it . But I'd just keep that to yourself .
Well , I also with women's deodorant . They've really started expanding their variety of scents , like they'll have fresh linen , which to me is pretty neutral , yeah , or they'll have coconut , which is my favorite Coconut , and something that's pretty neutral . I love the smell of coconut , which is my favorite Coconut , and something that's pretty neutral .
I love the smell of coconut . I know you like the smell of coconut .
Well , I do know a couple of things . There's one thing I do like and that's my soap . I like a particular soap that I get that's got a strong odor and of course that makes me smell good and I like that . And I noticed that the same company that makes your soap and my soap the floral scents in it aren't as strong as the ones in the manly soaps .
That's true . So therefore , if you're wearing the feminine or the ladies deodorant , I don't think anybody's going to smell it . So just you know , if it does its job , if it keeps you from stinking , wear it .
You know and you remember , one of our steady listeners , mr Sean , sent us some soap . We're still using it too . We used we're like well , they're all black soaps , though it's the African . And then he sent us a Sasquatch , one thing which I'm going to use next .
Yes , yes , we need to break out one of those . Yes , they're good soaps .
Made my skin feel super soft and it smelled good .
Yes , absolutely .
Well , there you go , there's our advice , the Yo Carol .
I like that . That was fun .
Yeah .
All right , that should promote our listenership . Song for Yo Carol .
So do you . I think we'll just end it there .
Maybe I'll start doing a Yo Carrie on Thursday hey .
Yo Jen .
Well , all right , that's very good . The weekend's upon us . We're going to watch some . We're going to definitely watch some football this weekend . Probably have a good dinner tonight and see what happens .
All right . Thanks for listening .
Have a great day , go Dawgs .
