Transcript

My boy Carson gets home. He's a home right now. I follow him on an app and he is at his house in Hollywood right now. He arrived home and we get to see him later today. It's Friday. We're going to the iHeart Festival. He's going to join us in Las Vegas. And he's been gone for five weeks in Asia, which was a little scary, but he is. I haven't seen him, I don't think since mid July when you came to the You, Jenny, how often did you see

your parents? Only at the holidays, and usually not Easter. I think I went home for Easter my freshman year, but that was it. So usually just Thanksgiving in Christmas I was home for. My mom tried to come visit once a year though, because it's only a four and a half hour drive for them to come visit. So my mom usually visited once a year and my dad came once or twice throughout my college career. Okay, we

Carson moved to la almost exactly a year ago. We drove out there together and it was like a road trip, kind of a bonding experience kind of a thing, and we really thought, you know, we found we found an apartment right behind the Chinese Theater on Hollywood Boulevard, which turned out to be a really nice area to live, and we really thought that we'd be out there like every couple of months to see him, and we'd stay at

a hotel on Hollywood Boulevard, and we never we never did. He came home often enough, we never really felt the need to go to see him. When I moved to Las Vegas, I was twenty one years old, moved nine hundred miles away from Colorado Springs to Las Vegas, and my mom and I were really close, and she came to see me probably a month or two after I moved there, and then probably another couple of months later. She came to see me three or four times, and because she missed

her little boy. Oh I was I was such a mom's boy. But he's Did you see the picture on Instagram I did of him with love and the breast of the crew. I zoomed in because I I'm happy you said like where he was, because I was like a zooman And then I realized you put it in the caption or something. But that was so cool, because I mean the crowd was still behind them at that point was like it was Lao's idea during the middle of the show. I don't know what the

context. I know the context, but what he said was something like, Hey, let's get the whole crew out here. I want to thank my wonderful crew. So everybody from the laser guy to the merch girl, to the lighting girl, to the sound girl, to Carson to the manager, everybody came out on stage. Lao is in the middle, and then there's the manager of the whole tour, older guy glasses. Then there's Carson.

Yeah, and I'm like, that is just so cool. Yeah, but it's cold, and Carson is wearing all black because that is just funny, because that's what he does. When you're at a show, you're you've got the guy or the girl that wears all black that comes out and hands the drummer like a bottle of water or puts the guitar on the guitar stand or

whatever. So I got to log into a different email account here, So if you'll bear with me for one second, anything you want to bring up Jenny in the meantime, what tell me about this bright bright fu ship. But it looks like a I don't know a ball gown? Is it the dress I'm wearing? Yeah? This bright, bright fu ship ball gown you're

wearing. So I went into my closset this morning and I was like, it is still summer, because summer just does not want to fucking go away, and I'm over it, honestly, like I want false sweater weather. And so I'm like, well, I better make use of any of the dresses I can still wear because of the temperature being still pretty toasty. So I just pulled this one out. It's a little fancier than I would normally wear for the morning show, but I just thought, why not, I'm

not going to wear this again until next summer. So I decided to wear a fancy dress today. I know you're used to seeing me in sweat pants, but I didn't. No, I mean, you know, we the funny thing about radio is we can dress anyway we want to, but we always try to like look a little bit nice, because you know, I've

known radio people. There used to be a girl that worked here. She was an intern, and she was probably twenty two something like that, and she came in one time wearing like it was almost like a robe, like terry cloth, robe, yeah, and I remember thinking, probably not the way you want to present yourself at work. But we try to like dress nice in case the Livia people or the white Bear Mitsubishi people come in, so we don't look like we just got done, you know, cleaning the

garage or something. All right, here we go. This is for context. It is from a woman, if that gives you any context, but she says, don't stay a name please. First off, love you all. Dave, you're my cool uncle who is close enough in age that I can still appreciate your advice. Jenny, you're my silly younger cousin who I want to hang out with. And Drake, you are a dang ray of sunshine and your positivity laughter are infectious. I listen every day next day on

podcasts, so I couldn't text live. When you all talked about cameras, this started there was a national news story about a hidden camera on an airplane, and then we talked about have you ever found a hidden camera? Do

you look for hidden cameras in hotel rooms? Jenny and I do not, but Drake does, which I thought was kind of odd, and so it was just kind of an interesting thing that I had a personal experience with somebody who stayed at my house in Colorado, and there is a security camera on the wall, and they really thought that I was spying on them with a security camera, even though it had an index card taped up over the lens

that I didn't even know how to access it anymore. But that ruined our friendship because we really she really thought that I might be spying on her, and I was pissed because she accused me of that happening. So we haven't spoken since. Don't use my name, but probably wouldn't care if you did. About five years ago, it was brought to my attention that my boyfriend at the time in the late nineties. Okay, so it was brought to

her attention five years ago that in the late nineties. But my current husband's family had video cameras placed in the vents of their home. This happened in the late nineties early two thousands. The most disturbing thing was one of the cameras was in my boyfriend friend's bedroom. It was not my husband, his

brother was into surveillance and his dad was as straight up creep. Yes, of course we did things in there, but they also have a pool, and his room is where myself and later our children and many other visitors would change to use the pool. So whatever perverted person put them in there is beyond disgusting because they knew the people were they were recording. Wow, my husband and I are okay, didn't ruin our marriage, but this is severely

traumatize many of us. I and my children have disowned that side of the family. So your discussion about cameras on Thursday really upset me. I feel you handled it pretty well, and I thank Drake for the tips. His tips were, what do you remember well, the double sided mirrors that what they're called. You put your finger up against it. You can see if

it's whatever they're called, and if there's a reflection. That means that if you touch your fingertip to the mirror and your fingertip touches the fingertip, that's bad. But if there's a little gap the thickness of the glass, because the glass is like maybe an eighth of an inch or a quarter of an inch thick, then it's okay. So if your fingertips touch, that's a bad sign. I don't know why, but that's what Drake says. Yeah,

and then I don't know. It says to look for invents and stuff like that when you go to hotel rooms, or that's what he does. But that's all we kind of talked about in terms of hidden cameras in hotels. Right, Yeah, it doesn't occur to me. The fact that family did this made it far more gross than a hotel no shit. Yeah, however, it is now hard for us stay anywhere because we weren't even safe with family. I get that places have cameras in certain places, front doors,

I do. I have a ring according to this person, businesses streets, but I believe people need to disclose if personal homes have them inside. Sorry, so long made me have to respond. I was going to email long ago to have it as a group therapy, but all you've already cut those ties. Thanks if you read this far, Dave, if you made

it, don't use my name, don't won't your name. But for context, I thought it was important to mention that it was a woman, because I think definitely most people that are going to plant a hidden camera are straight males looking for naked women. That's what I'm going to guess. To me, there's nothing less of a turn on than watching somebody who doesn't want me to watch them, you know what I mean. But there are people who do that obviously, So thanks for that the comments on that one. Next

one, listen to the Morning Show yesterday. You're talking about weirdo neighbors. One thing I had to chime in on leaving front lights off at night not creepy. It's good for the birds. Really, Fall migration is at a peak for birds right now flying through Minnesota. Lights can confuse them during migration,

so keeping lights to a minimum at night can help immensely. If you could share this on the morning show or on the podcast, the birds would appreciate it, and you put a little smiley face on there, your local you know what hears me being a sexist assuming that it's a man because it's a park ranger. No, that is Jessica, your local park ranger.

There is still a little bit of sexist that lives inside my heart because I usually try to, like, you know, give everybody the benefit of the doubt, like, oh, it's a pilot, Well, it could be easily be a woman. It is a cop, or it is a you know, parole off. It could easily be a woman. But here I am slipping back into nineteen ninety four Dave, and assuming that a park ranger

is a guy, it is not ps. We recently moved and have wonderful neighbors, and our previous neighbors were a huge trees, and we moved when we did think constant trash in the yard and shared driveway. We'd smoke, smell, dogs never stop barking, and the cherry on top. They never cleaned up the dog poop on their yard. The smell is exactly what you think it would be. Yuck. I that's so bad because it's not just one little problem you live next door to just trash, and that sucks.

I've never lived next door to trash. I do have a house in Colorado that the house you know we have. The house has been on her family since I was born. I think we moved into that house when I was two months old, and the house at the end of our road, so about a quarter mile away. He is a junkyard. It is a junk pile. The guy is a hoarder. He's really nice. I called the county on him because he had just everything, just anything you can hoard.

Think about like what an old stack of tires. Yep, he hoards it like appliances. He have random stuff like that, Like I haven't seen appliances. He's got several boats in the backyard, several trailers. He used to have a semi trailer in the backyard, just a semi trailer parked in the backyard, and that's illegal, so I called the county and he built it into his bar. So now the semi trailer is part of his barn and

it actually looks okay. But he has a giant holloway dumpster. He must have found a big stack of abandoned like landscaping boulders, because now there's a big fucking stack of abandoned landscaping boulders in his yard, five gallon buckets, giant blue barrels. Does he think he's going to make money off of the

stuff someday? It's so weird to me to see people like collect all this garbage that literally sounds like garbage to me, it is, It's what most of us would be like, Man, I don't want to keep this around, but I think he's your classic hoarder. And he looks at something like a plastic five gallon bucket and says there's going to be a use for this. I can't throw this away, or you're gonna throw away like you know, like two hundred landscaping boulders. Don't throw those away or don't give the

I'll buy him from you for fifty bucks. So his whole yard is full of everything from abandoned tires, barrels, buckets, cars, just shit everywhere. But he's really nice that you know, what are you gonna do? He's really nice. I think that they did ever know a hoarder, because right now a friend of mine, her mother is eighty four. Mom lives somewhere else and they are trying to clean out mom stuff. Mom doesn't want to give away her stuff. Mom is like, no, I don't want

to give that away. I don't want to give that away. And it's like, Mom, you're eighty four, you're moving to New York. You're moving to a small apartment. You're moving to a twelve hundred square foot apartment in New York. You don't have room for all this shit, But people get so attached to it. Do you get attached to things? No? I get rid of shit if I'm not using it in my daily life. I don't want it, so I just hold a bunch of stuff on facemarketplace

because we went through our basement storage room. But my dad is kind of borderline hoarder. I wouldn't call him a hoarder, but he's almost there because he has so much random shit in his basement, his entire basement. It's not finished and he lives in a small duplex, so it's not super huge, but it's big enough for him to have way too much Christmas decorations, like way too much. He has like another version of a pantry down there, and then he hoards food, so he gets deals on food, so

you go there. He's got fifty boxes of Kraft mac and cheese, twenty different packs of Gatorades, like all of this stuff. And it used to be delightful when I came home for college because I would steal that. Yeah, but now I don't really eat the crap food that he buys anymore, so like it just sits down there and gets old. And every time I come home he offers me to go shopping basically and his extra pantry in the basement, and I'm like, I'm good, and that ship will expire.

It's like my sisters and I would go in there and then it'd be expired for a couple of years. No, you, it's so funny. I didn't thought about this in a while. But my father in law, Susan's dad had a pantry that was it was. It was big. It was like it was a laundry room with a giant row of shelves along one wall. And he was one guy who ate very little, and he had everything crackers and peanut butter and just stacks of putting cups and just all kind of

cereal and juice and pop and all that. It's like, why do you have so much? And I think he enjoyed the couponing or whatever. But we would look at like the peanut butter and it was expired like four years ago. We'd take the cap off and there'd be like oil floating on top, and he would get pissed if we said, Dad, you gotta throw this away. God damn it, you're not throwing that away. That's still

good. I'll fuck that expiration, dade, I don't care. And so we would have to sneak it to throw it away, and he never noticed that we threw it away, but it was just one of his things that he that he'd liked to do. All right, we need your emails.
